She was raised to hate him. Now she shares his bed.

Princess Mayah of Tundrayn isn't allowed to want. Not freedom. Not love. Not even her own future. Instead, she's spent her life healing others' pain and swallowing her own. But when her father strikes a fragile alliance with enemy-kingdom Arbinj to crush a rising rebellion, she is bartered into a marriage she didn't choose for a crown she doesn't want.

She expects a prince. She gets the Dark Commander.

Zevayr is ruthless, unyielding, and a stormwielder with a reputation soaked in blood. He is everything Mayah was taught to fear. Yet as they race across rebel-torn lands, the less certain she is of where the monster ends and where the man begins.

In Arbinj's glittering courts, the Rebellion surges and dangerous secrets stir from Mayah's past-secrets that could shatter her kingdom, and her heart, if she lets them.

The question is not if Mayah will betray, but who: her people, her love, or herself?

The best of worldbuilding and romance

The amount of plot twists and shocking reveals the author of this book has managed to fit into just four hundred pages is award-worthy. No, seriously, I will be sending over the medical bill for my first ever heart attack, that's how enthralled I was. From beginning until the end, this book was one wild, wild ride.

This book featured a good number of characters, and I can only praise the author with how realistic and layered all of them were. Sure, there were a couple filler side characters here and there, but the vast majority of them had their own ambitions, history, and desires, which led them to making the decisions they'd made. Truly, I'm still not sure who was even the main villain in this story.

Our main characters, Mayah and Zevayr, were especially written to be incredibly complex. Since this book is written from Mayah's first person point of view, I got to see her inner thoughts, understand her decisions, and relate to her on a deeper level, yet she could still catch me off-guard with her actions. One could perhaps even call her an unreliable narrator, whether because she herself doesn't truly always know what's happening, or because she chooses to omit certain information.

Overall, however, Mayah is a pretty relatable FMC, she is stubborn, headstrong, and convinced to always know better, but she also has certain faults and flaws, which aren't only surface-level, they go deep and impact the entire plot. Zevayr, too, I found fascinating as a characterand loveable as a book boyfriend, despite certain moments.

Lastly, and I don't often mention this in my reviews, I LOVED the worldbuilding. Really, I rarely pay close attention to it in fantasy books, but the author managed to make it stand out to me so much, I couldn't not compliment it. The political intrigues, the territory disputes, the differences in climates, they all play a crucial role in the story, and they're explained to the detail.
