I'm taking a break on this one while I buddy read Red Queen, but I'm definitely already interested in the series!

They pulled in a certain guardian, and I am not well. 😭😭

I'm expecting a possible romance between the two, especially when the foreigner keeps trying to start a conversation with her. After he sees her poison her target, he follows her with more questions. Forbidden romance? Blackmail?
No, instead we have a dead foreigner on our hands, and possible repercussions. What is happening??? Whatever it is, I'm here for it.

Ok, this one has me INTERESTED!
Meet Dagmara, an assassin with an unknown chronic illness. She's on an assignment, which takes her to a busy tavern. There, she meets a foreigner from Ilusauri. Ilusauri is ruled by the Mad King, who murdered his parents, and travel and trade has been banned between the two kingdoms. By all right, the foreigner should not be here.

I am so mad right now. I didn't expect the book to go here, but her being a test subject against her will. 😭

Time to start my deep dive, annotation read!

I can’t believe I managed to get an eARC of this one! Thank you so much to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager ❤️

She longed to tell Sig that she didn’t know how to begin taking care of herself. How the very thought of waking up alone and having to fend for herself was so intimidating it gave her chills.

And just like that I’m sold!

*Spoiler??*

Who are you? she wants to ask. Why are you different? How do you remember when no one else can? Why do you believe I made a deal?
In the end, she says only one thing.
“Why?”
And Henry’s hands fall away from his face and he looks up at her, his green eyes fever bright, and says -
“Because I made one, too.”



WHAT????? What?!

Ashcroft is so awful. This book is literally giving me chills with how terribly Elisabeth is cheated. Oh, she’s not lived through a horrible experience, with a deranged, power mad sorcerer trying to kill her. Her brain is just inflamed because she read some novels, women often suffer from such madness. 😓😤😠

I am quickly getting sucked into this book. Arran and Veyka are both angry and murderous, but I’m so interested to learn more about each of them as well as the history behind the Terrestrial and Elemental Fae.

Very interesting beginning. The mystery keeps you engaged and asking so many questions.
