An archivist with a secret. A warchief who can smell every lie. A mountain that remembers what kingdoms tried to forget.
I spent nine years in the Royal Archive making myself small. Quiet hands, quiet voice, quiet body in a kingdom that had no use for any of it. I told myself I preferred the documents to the people.
Then the Mountain Clan opened their archives to a human scholar, and I volunteered before I could talk myself out of it.
I told my superiors I was going to study orc records. I didn't tell them I was looking for my brother.
The Warchief met me at the gate. Seven and a half feet of him. Scarred. Silent. And he could smell every thought I'd ever had about him before I'd finished crossing the threshold.
He keeps the names of his dead. So do I.
And the longer I stay in his fortress, the harder it gets to remember why I ever planned to leave.
Absolutely loved this one! 5🌟's Wanted by the War chief 🌟💖🔥
I scored the first book , but this second one spoke to me. Verity , is a royal Archivist she's cute me to the orcs to look at their histories and other founding documents and to find out what really happened to her brother at a mountain skirmish four hears ago. She doesn't plan on Targesh and all the things he makes her feel and want. There is no way she should be this attracted to 7 ft of pure muscle and a keen mind, but she is. Targesh, has been the War chief for over 20years and he been alone longer than that. He quiet , observant and sees so much that others fail to process. He does not expect Verity and his she makes him feel. She ask boundless questions because she Genuinely wants to know. He never believed he was destined for a relationship or love but with Verity he wants both more than anything else he has ever wanted . the world building is great the characters are well written, have chemistry and their love builds slowly through stories and leading little things about each other that create a picture they both want to be a part of. Highly recommend🔥💖🌟i honestly hope there's will be another in the series coming soon 💖🔥🌟💖🌟🔥💖🌟🔥💖🌟🔥💖🌟🔥🌟💖
I was delighted to find out that there's actually plot in this book and the main characters are sophisticated, unlike the first impression that the cover and title might suggest. Moreover, this book is suitable for archive and library fans. I'm still reading but this has been a suprisingly cozy read so far which is much to my liking.
Verity came to study the archives of Northwatch and found much more. Targesh is the warchief and thought his life was set. He was wrong as she was. Enjoy
