About this ebook
Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and From Blood and Ash.
Once, we'd worshipped them as Gods.
For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I've spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.
Then, we died on their swords.
All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There's no choice but to flee everything I've ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.
Now, they'll claim what's theirs.
But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn't dare to want and a distraction I can't afford. I can't seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.
My heart.

The plot itself is interesting, but there were a few things that should've been explained a bit more that were glossed over completely. Like the lore and the religion. I didn't understand any of that until I finished the book and read the glossary thing. There were also parts that were just so rushed that I had to re-read a paragraph a few times to realise a new character joined the story. And speaking of characters, there's no relationship between characters unless the author says so, but even then you question it? It didn't feel like any of the characters cared about anyone. And then the twist was predictable as all hell. Figured it out pretty quickly, but the MC is frustratingly oblivious (in everything she does). It's a quick read, with an interesting concept, but it just fell a little flat.

Graah! thank god it has ended! it was so boring and exhausting reading it due to the horrible writing style. the whole time my mind was like "they did what? what? who is this? when?". I'm giving it 2 stars just because of the spice, that was 🌶🌶🌶🌶
