De: Bec McMaster

Narrado por: Vanessa Moyen

Princess. Tribute. Sacrifice. Is she the one prophesied to unite two warring Fae courts? Or the one bound to destroy them?

In a realm ruled by magic, the ruthless Queen of Thorns is determined to destroy her nemesis, the cursed Prince of Evernight.

With war brewing between the bitter enemies, the prince forces Queen Adaia to uphold an ancient treaty: she will send one of her daughters to his court as a political hostage for three months.

The queen insists it’s the perfect opportunity for Princess Iskvien to end the war before it begins. But one look into Thiago’s smoldering eyes and Vi knows she’s no assassin.

The more secrets she uncovers about the prince and his court, the more she begins to question her mother’s motives.

Who is the true enemy? The dark prince who threatens her heart, or the ruthless queen who will stop at nothing to destroy him?

And when the curse threatens to shatter both courts, is her heart strong enough to break it?

Liked

I really liked it. Had to slow the reader down a bit. Was a bit slow moving at times

Good but overly hyped

I had so much excitement for this book from all the reviews but after listening to it I feel left unsatisfied. The he story has a great plot and I’m excited to read the next book and see what happens next. I felt who the missing wife was was very predictable at the very beginning.

Not my cup of tea

Standard romance, more steamy than story. If you like a good bodice ripper, you will like this.
