This book was an absolutely stunning piece and I cried more than once. I went into this story thinking it was going to be more focused on a romance and instead, received a story of feminism, the true bonds of friendship, tests of first love, healing, tests of true love and bonds that are lost forever. I laughed, I cried and rooted for all of the characters. I was surprised with two support characters that I fell in love with and want spin offs for now. 

This book focuses on healing, found family, magic, creature features (EVEN UNICORNS), and the trials one is willing to go through for love. Perfect for fans of Girls of Paper and Fire, The Last Unicorn and The Shadows Between Us. 

Trigger Warning: This is a book that mentions sexual assault but doesn’t do anything graphically and is not between any of the main characters.

An immortal monster hunter and a royal handmaiden embark on an epic journey to change their fates in this soul-stirring young adult fantasy novel for fans of The Witcher and The Last Unicorn. By night, the Ankou is a legendary, permanently young mercenary—the most fearsome sword for hire in all of the Five Lands, and its most abiding mystery. But when the sun rises, a dark magic leaves him no more than bones. Cursed with this cycle of death and resurrection, the Ankou wants only to find the final rest that has been prophesied for him, no matter the cost. When the kingdom of Kaer-Ise is sacked, Flora, handmaiden to the royal family, is assaulted and left for dead. Wounded, heartbroken, and the sole survivor of the massacre, Flora wants desperately to be reunited with the princess she served and loved. She and the Ankou make a deal: He will help Flora find her princess, and train Flora in combat, in exchange for her aid in breaking his curse. But it isn't easy to kill an immortal, especially when their bond begins to deepen into something more . . . Together, they will solve mysteries, battle monsters, and race against time in this fantasy novel about sacrifice, love, and healing by Elysium Girls author Kate Pentecost.
