No one can save her.
In order to protect Prince Lucien d’Malvane’s heart, Zera had to betray him. Now, he hates the sight of her. Trapped in Cavanos as a prisoner of the king, she awaits the inevitable moment her witch severs their magical connection and finally ends her life.
But fate isn't ready to give her up just yet.
With freedom coming from the most unlikely of sources, Zera is given a second chance at life as a Heartless. But it comes with a terrible price. As the king mobilizes his army to march against the witches, Zera must tame an elusive and deadly valkerax trapped in the tunnels underneath the city if she wants to regain her humanity.
Winning over a bloodthirsty valkerax? Hard. Winning back her friends before war breaks out? A little harder.
But a Heartless winning back Prince Lucien’s heart?
The hardest thing she’s ever done.

My Review: I was thrilled to receive the ARC. After reading the first book, I couldn’t wait to dive back into this world.
However, I found the second book to be harder to get into. It started right as the first one left off. Zera is standing by a pile of bodies, the prince isn’t exactly pleased with her and the princess is alive and back. Oh yeah, she’s a witch who just now happens to own Zera’s heart.
They all return to the castle. Zera following the princess closely, as now she has control. The princess leads her into a part of the castle where something horrible lies. A valkerax, a nasty beast that Zera must tame in order to get her heart back. It’s not an easy beast to deal with, nor is she trilled with the plan that the princess has for it.
From there on, the book seems to be slow. It takes longer to get to the point of some things, the pace remains the same for a good chunk of the book, the tone, the action, etc. I just found that there were too many pieces of the book in where it lacked all these things and more in order for me to continue on and really enjoy the book. However, it did get better as the book neared the end.
Over all, I’m hoping the next book will be much better.
