This book is easily now one of my favorites of the year! I am blown away. Hidden Magick, family secrets, so many twists. I absolutely love these characters. Each one has their own secret, and their own path and family issues. Even the secondary characters are so well developed. The scenery and atmosphere are amazing. It is so intense, and gripping. I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for book two already! 

There is a curse, and every 20 years seven champions (one from each family) come forward to compete in the tournament. The winner gets to control the high magic until the next tournament. This time is different. Some families will change forever. 

I am HOOKED. This story is dirty, gruesome, treacherous, and you never know what is going to happen. I am going to make it a new mission to make sure people read this book immediately!
