About this ebook

An assassin falls for the archduke she was sent to kill, but killing him might be the only way to save his soul.

Magic has two immutable rules—every spell requires a sacrifice and every curse can be broken.

Amira Brindonu is a sorceress turned assassin, bound in a curse that forces her to obey her father, even to the point of high treason. When he orders her to kill the future emperor, she fails, but discovers a secret that could bring the whole of the empire to its knees.

The archduke is stricken by a curse that could sentence him and his people to damnation, but Amira could be the only key to breaking it. In a desperate last-ditch effort, the archduke takes Amira prisoner and makes a pact to protect her from her curse if she will help free him of his own.

As time begins to run out, Amira soon learns that there are enemies that blades can't touch and there are fates worse than death. Caught in a web of sorcery, intrigue, and her growing feelings for the archduke, the assassin must decide just how much she is willing to give to save the only man she's ever loved.

Every curse can be broken, but can two cursed people save each other?

Beauty and the Beast meets The Witcher in this Fantasy Romance that is sure to delight fans of Sarah J. Maas, Kristin Cashore, and Leigh Bardugo.

After watching Elisabeth's YouTube shorts for months, and loving them, I decided to pick up a book series of hers, this being the first. I shouldn't be, seeing as the author is an amazing person, but I am pleasantly surprised that her writing is beautiful and straight forward, with an intriguing magic system unlike anything I've seen before. The characters are lovable because they are imperfect which makes them relatable in a humanly way. The power dynamic between Daindreth and Amira is beautiful, and their romance is one for the history books. I can't wait to keep reading more about their story.

It was enjoyable and I liked the world building. The characters seemed a bit shallow to me and I would not call their romance a slow burn. In fact, it seemed very quick and out of the blue to me! A nice and easy read for an afternoon.

I was pleasantly surprised with how well this was written and how much I fell in love with the characters. A truly refreshing slow burn romance that takes place in a unique fantasy world. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a fun light read that still serves up that intrigue.
