"I have been starved, Nyra. Until you.”
This follows Nyra who is on the run from the wicked king and cruelty she was handed in the palace in Marmoris Kingdom. After managing to escape she is now in the firing line of the rebels who live in the Hidden City that the King can not find. It's either be killed by the rebels or hide among the shadows to protect herself at all costs but everything changes when she meets the ruthless commander's son named Dacre.
This was a fantastic start to a series. The characters and world were easy to follow and understand. The enemies-to-lovers element was delicious as the tension and challenging each other was so much fun. Dacre is tough, fearless and dominant as a leader, as one would have to be in his position. Under all the hard layers you can see a little light but it didn't crack in this book. I can't wait to see his development in the next book. Love Nyra she may be weak but I find her a strong and brave force who is just trying to live. Even the side characters and storylines I loved.
With a side character, I love I have a pressing question that has been on my mind who did Wren take to their room?! Who is Wren seeing?! I'm nosy I need answers. 😂 Did I miss this?!
Overall fantastic start to a new series looking forward to the next book in July!
