Worlds clash and forbidden love ignites. Twice a year, Lord Toric demands a selection of young women to compete for a place in his harem. Maya must get through just one more selection and then she can marry the man of her dreams. She should have been safe, but the sudden death of a girl who was meant to enter the Tournament forces Maya into the competition. Thrown into the fight of her life with no preparation, Maya must shed her innocence and win Lord Toric’s favor. And there is only one winner in the competition. The losers will be sacrificed.

Still love Maya’s character- I’ve enjoyed seeing her grow - I felt for her when she realized she would be only one of many if she won.
Not so happy with Toric in this book he came across as but weak and ineffective as a leader - I realize that many of the leadership duties are done by others - so his hands are tied in some cases - this is supposed to keep him in check but not really feeling it.
Also I was disappointed that only days after he professed his love to Maya - he called a lady from his harem to meet his “needs” - granted he did say afterwards is felt hallow - but for me that doesn’t sit well.
