Synopsis

Throne of Glass meets Black Jewels in this twisted yet alluring dark fantasy tale.

Quinn Darkova, freed from the chains of slavery, wants nothing more than vengeance against those who sold her. But with her dark powers on the rise and her ascension nearing, Quinn's blood retribution will have to wait in favor of her immediate survival.

Lazarus Fierté is a nobleman without equal. He's as controlling as he is stubborn, and for the last six years he's been waiting for a woman to appear—but not just any woman. A Maji of great power, capable of terrible things. She could be the key to everything he holds dear.

His savior . . . or his destroyer. The only thing he didn't predict was that she would become both.

Contains mature themes.

This book has no worldbuilding, the magic system is blurry, the main character is a Celaena Sardothien ripoff, and there were plot holes. But somehow I still enjoyed parts of this, because I read it in two days. Any MC who controls fear is automatically interesting to me. Review to come.........more

4.5 Stars Moving closer, impossibly closer so that their chests were pressed together again, Quinn leaned up on her tiptoes, and rested one hand on his shoulder as she whispered, “I am fear.” YES. Why didn't I read this sooner? And PLEASE don't have the heroine change in the next books unless it's to s......more

Goodreads review by Rhiannon on May 23, 2019

All the bloody stars!!!! I absolutely adores this book! It had everything I want. Deliciously dark heroine, who is more bad than good. She's insanely powerful, tough and doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks of her, which just the right subtle smidgen of vulnerability. Make love interest who is......more
