Publisher's summary

Sistina awakened after millennia of dormancy, her memories in tatters and born anew. Residing in the ruins of an ancient city, she finds herself drawn into a war between two elven nations and the slaver kingdom of Kelvanis when she rescues a princess from slavery.

With her domain containing hints of forgotten knowledge, Sistina becomes a dungeon, stronghold, and source of hope all at once. And perhaps, just perhaps, she could finally find love in her new life.

This is a dark fantasy novel suitable for adults.

Great plot, cringy love between females.

It has a great plot, but a cringy love between female main characters distracts from it a lot. The author just needed to force his kink into the story.

Fulfilling and Exciting

as you go though the story it shows the light and dark of the world around them. Proving not all good is justice and not all bad is evil. for that I commend the author it's extremely difficult to portray that.
Another topic the the reader might sound like Professor Trelawney from the Harry Potter franchise but I promise it does fit the book the more you drive into it.

Great World Building

As a game master, my strongest point is world building, and it is my favorite part of the books I read. This book reveals its lore slowly and well, I highly endorse it. The story itself is well written and coherent, and performed superbly.

Great start to the trilogy

Picked up the book after reading it's synopsis and slotting it away in my wish list for a couple months. I am glad that I finally purchased it and I honestly marveled at how deeply the world had been crafted. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the trilogy. As well as the other series the author has written/uploaded to Audible.

An Excellent Start

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and eagerly await my next opportunity to purchase books. The writing was top class, the narration had real life to it, and I would recommend this story to anyone who likes fantasy as much as I do.

This book is doubtless what you are looking for

I was drawn to this book by the art on the front and following a rabbit hole of a few other artists as I searched for my next read. I have found few that satisfied the hunger I hold for fantasy and lesbian literature. This book fits both exceedingly well. However it is not for the faint of heart. This book is bloody, littered with corpses of characters. However, the plot and the impossibly smooth writing makes up for it. As for the woman that reads this? Her husky eloquent tones will sooth you through the heartbreak and draw you unit the loving embrace, both. Please, give this a try!
