Publisher's summary

Some will try to trap her in hopes of harnessing her dark power. Others will seek to end her, deeming it too terrible to risk. In the end, he will destroy them all - because Quinn is his weapon, and he plans to keep it that way.

Lazarus was warned that Quinn's power might be too great, even for him, but nothing prepared him for the truth of it until she held a dagger over him, and he was powerless to stop it. Now at odds with himself, the future king of Norcasta must find a way to regain control of his house and secure an alliance with the Pirate Queen...before fate tips its hand once more, and his carefully laid plans are led astray.

Quinn's loyalty is not easily won, but Lazarus has managed to do it. Now, the vassal and right-hand of Lord Fierte, Quinn seeks to gain him an alliance with Ilvas all the while challenging him at every turn. With the Cisean tribes won over, and the blood heirs behind them, Quinn expects this to be an easy task, but soon finds herself entangled in a web of lies.

Forced to gamble with her life - and the lives of her comrades - Quinn must make a choice that will either save or doom them all.

Contains mature themes.

4 stars

this book was alot more political than in the first book. I didn't mind it held my attention. Good inbetween book. I'm curious on how the rest of the series is going to go. I'm not totally invested and obsessed with any of the characters but I still enjoyed this story.

Gotta keep listening ☺️

Finally a female character that isn't whiny! The authors did wonderfully! It's not full of sex scenes, but a dance between the two. Both wanting more, and yet, the story must evolve further! Onto book 3!

Less Spicy but more story

I like this book I saw it as a bridge to another book. It wasn’t as spicy as the first ones, but it was still pretty good.

Loved It!

I have fallen in love with this series! The story and narration take you to a completely different world! I’m dying for the next book.

Hooked

Absolutely loved it and I now have a new favorite narrator. Action packed and fantastic world building.

Needed more romance, however.....

I still wish it had more romance but the action held me so captivated I hardly noticed. A few more curse words but far and few between and no sex which, I freakin wish they would! I loved the secondary characters as well. They made me laugh! Also, so far no love triangle otherwise I would stop reading.

awesome

This series is amazing. It has everything you are looking for in a series. A little bit and alot of everything

Nice continuation

Picked up where book 1 left off seamlessly. More adventures & learning of characters. Looking forward to book 3.

It just gets better!

It seems impossible, but this book is even better than the first one! The romantic suspense is ratcheted up even higher, and the action and plot twists will leave you listening (or turning the pages) well into the night! This series is quickly becoming a favorite.

Still hooked

I like how there are still mysteries. In some novels you have a lead constantly asking why, and getting answers. Here, there is trust still attempting to be built. So, there is still a guard up, and unanswered questions.
