Story
With her death foretold, Althea Zoltaire only has three years to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a warrior legend. Women are forbidden to wield blades, so she has trained in secret her entire life. Now racing against the clock, she fights to secure her place in the elite guild charged with the protection of the five kingdoms. The sparring and hazing of the new trainees border on deadly, but even more dangerous is her growing attraction to Wilder Hawthorne, her unwilling warrior chaperone. All around them, schemes are afoot and darkness looms.

Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

Being a defective marks me in the eyes of the Solis Fae. Wingless. Magicless. Weak. To my kind, I’m nothing—not when strength is needed to survive the perpetual snow and ice that shrouds our northern continent in endless winter. But I’ve persevered, living a meaningful yet simple life with my sister...until the hated Crown Prince of the Winter Court thunders into our village. Prince Norivun’s massive black wings and potent magic cloud my senses and steal my breath. He’s beautiful yet brutal, so when he whisks me away and locks me in his castle I’m certain my death is tomorrow’s promise.

There are three rules to surviving the Fae—and I'm about to break every single one. Rule #1. Never cross into Faerie. When I'm chased across the wicked border and caught by its reclusive ruler of the sky, the pretty trickster with a clever tongue offers me a deal. Rule #2: Never bargain with a Fae. But I don't have a choice. For thirteen days, I have to survive in his mountainous maze of sinister paths, deceptive stairways, and devious creatures. Refuse, and my sisters will suffer as punishment. Rule #3: Never fall for the enemy. I should have known my sexy captor wouldn't play fair.

You'd think being the princess of all shifters would come with benefits and glamour and freedom—it doesn't. It comes with isolation, constant fear, and a fabric over my head the whole damn time. Nobody will believe me or lift a finger to help me figure out why I'm stuck in this loop, not even my father, the dragon king. If I dare to even mention it to him, I end up with a bloody lip. Yeah, he's a very hard man to talk to. That's why I have no other choice but to switch places with my maid and run away.

Good overall but overly spicy
Overall, I enjoyed this book but I liked the first book better. I agree with some of the other reviewers who said the amount of spice in this seemed over the top. It just felt like it was thrown in there for the hell of it rather than it being in there because it cohesively flowed with the story line.

Furies that was epic
First let’s talk about,“Hold on to the rail”! This book is definitely scorching with romance (open door scenes). If you liked ACOSF this similar.
The Romance:Thea and Wilder are fighting the lines of mentor/mentee vs wanting to be lovers. Wilder cannot resist her, right!?. Not after what went down in book 1! Well really they can’t resist each other, but come on Thea really? Friends?! (Rolling my eyes). However, there is a lot of miscommunication between characters this time around, and too many secrets are being held. Betrayals are bound to happen.
The Fantasy/Plot: Anyways, the story does continue with Thea’s training and her skills have now amplified with her new powers unlocked, resulting in her becoming a fierce confident badass. Evil is stirring and talk of the Daughter of Darkness and a Shadow Prince are rising. There is more exploration of the realm, talks about different magic, and introductions to monsters and blights that Guardians and Warswords are to defeat. Oh and the Veil is become weaker and armies may be assembling 😏 Hope Thea and Wren can figure out those suppressed powers soon.
Thoughts at the end…. Ohhhhh snap!!! I had a feeling there was something else going on. Oh the betrayal! I told you! Love the twist at the end. I’m not even mad really. I’m rubbing my hands together ready for more in book 3. Oh this is going to be so good. Also, the very very end gave me LOTR vibes 😍

This was a disappointment
This book was really a major disappointment to me. I really enjoyed the first book in the series and was looking forward to jumping back into book 2. Unfortunately, this book was missing so many of the things that made the first book so good.
For one thing, while I have absolutely NO problem with a good sex scene, the only words I can use to describe what happens in this book is just pure unadulterated and nonstop smut. Seriously, I'm totally up for all kinds of stuff, but this just felt like it was thrown in just to throw it in. It actually pulled me out of the story so many times because for one thing, the two MC's (Wilder and Thea) had sex ALL THE TIME, but they also had it at times that made absolutely no sense. And it wasn't just that it was a non stop sex show. They continually had sex at the most inappropriate times and in the most inappropriate places. For example - they had sex on an outside balcony in full view over the field where the army was camped out during a huge battle, they had sex after a fight with the monsters while the rest of their group was trying to find the horses and recover from the horrendous attack - but no, the two of them go away and spend who knows how much time finding a stream and just blatantly not caring about the rest of the group, even though they were loud enough that everyone heard.
Then the entire book was full of, "We can't do this again" - and then they have sex. Then, "From now on we are only friends" - and then they have sex. And "I hate you" - and.....well, you get the picture.....
But even worse than that was that there was no forward progress in the storyline. We really didn't learn anything in this book - and it was NOT a short book. We did not make any progress learning about the girls heritage or anything about their parents other than their names. Why were they left? HOW were they hidden? We didn't find out anything more about the "Daughter of Darkness". We definitely did not get any more information to help us understand WHY the Veil was breaking. What caused it? Why now?
All in all, I ended up skimming over the last 6 or more sex scenes. (and I very rarely EVER skim in a book) and I was very frustrated with the ending. It just didn't fit. Without going into spoilers, all I can say was for loving someone so much, it didn't take much to totally accept another viewpoint without even bothering to ask any questions, or to STOP and just think about whether or not it made sense.
Will I continue? Yes, because I am curious and I really would like these questions answered. But I am truly hoping that the next book has more plot and less filler. One can hope.
