4.5 rounded up
This was excellent! I loved everything from the immersive writing and world-building to the depth of the characters. It was empowering to see Cassia's progression of a demure bastard princess to a strategic and cunning rebel of the crown. Lio's ability to not only guide but assist her in this was amazing. I can't wait to read book 2!!

In this kingdom, love is treason... Lio is an immortal Hesperine with fangs and dangerous magic, but he brings comfort into Cassia's cruel world. If she gives her heart to the enemy, will she and Lio survive the king's retribution?

A Fantasy Romance

Unique, descriptive, passionate. These are the words I would use to describe this book. A slow burn but once the gates have been opened there’s no going back
