My thoughts
WOW... What a debut. This book took my breath away. Though I wish so much that the next book was available. I need to find out what happened. Where they are. What is going on. This was a fantastic debut...
Two girls are set to fight. To fight to the death. Only one will walk away. They become the best of friends. But will that help. Can one kill the other. This is a must too. One has to die to save the Kingdom. Or save the Queensland.
There is a lot of magic. A love story in the making. A family filled with drama. Two girls who become friends. One a witch queen the other a princess. Both fighting for their home. The land they love. Two different worlds.
Astrid is the last of her kind. A witch who must fight to the death.
Skylar is a nobody. Until she isn't. She must fight to the death.
These two young ladies have a destiny. They were not suppose to befriend each other. This is also a love story. A prince and a future queen. It also has dragons. And a cat. A black cat. You just can't go wrong with this combination of characters. From the streets to the castle. The fighting. The loving. The training. This has it all.
I throughly loved this book. Now I can't wait for the next book....
5 stars.
About
A debut high-stakes fantasy romance trilogy set against a once-in-a-generation duel to the death between rival witches and dragon riders as they battle to control the source of all magic in their kingdoms. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass, and Quicksilver.
You duel or you die.
Astrid has always known she is destined to die. She is the last Nachstern witch and heir to the Queendom of Arturea, cursed by a centuries-old covenant to duel the heir to the Kingdom of Vatra for the source of all magic: the Heart. And now Astrid’s time is up. She is heading into enemy territory to face Prince Zryan, the most powerful dragon rider in eons, with only her familiar, her potions, and her wits to aid her. She is going to die, and any chance her queendom has of curing the Blight that’s ravaging the lands and killing her people will die with her.
Meanwhile, deep in dragon country, Skylar and her travelling troupe arrive in Vatra’s capital, ready to profit off the legions of spectators swarming to the city ahead of the duel. She despises the royals and all they stand for, especially as the King’s guard murdered her mother. But when her best friend disappears, suspected to have been taken in the conscription, her search takes her closer to the royals than she ever could have imagined.
As the duel looms over the kingdom, Skylar and Astrid’s fates intertwine. They must battle a growing rebellion, their inner demons, and ultimately, those they love most, to determine if together they will save—or doom—their world.
