Once, I helped save a kingdom.

Now, I’m trapped in a prison of thorns and nightmares.

My crime? Knowing the location of a power that could reshape the world—a grimoire I swore to protect with my life.

That secret is the only thing keeping me alive while my captors wait for me to break.
Until he arrives.
Beautiful. Ruthless.
Dark, inscrutable eyes. A dangerously wicked grin.

But he’s not here to rescue me. He wants the grimoire for himself––and he’ll destroy anyone who stands in his way.

My only choice is a fragile, temporary alliance with a man I can never trust.

Because there’s more at stake than just a stolen grimoire or an ancient grudge.

And behind his mask of effortless allure, he’s hiding something far more dangerous than a thirst for power.
Something that could destroy us all.

 
My Review: This book was amazing. 

I've found very few books where the world building was so seamless that I was quickly thrown into the story and stayed there. The slow-burn romance was one of the best I've read this year. 

Madinia and Calysian are the center of this story. They are fun, the banter between the two keeps you going, the spice is perfectly done and overall it left me begging for me. Especially how this book ended, there is no way I can patiently wait for the next one.

You also don't have to read the previous series to understand this book either. 

If you want the perfect romantasy, slow burn, spice and everything in between, this book is for you. Be sure to move this book to the top of that TBR pile!
