Goodreads review by Jennifer on November 22, 2017

Yes, I'm biased, but I hope readers will love this book as much as I do. I adore Kestra's fire, intelligence, and desire to do the right thing - something that isn't always clear to her.

Honestly, I thought Kestra had more chemistry in a few scenes with her betrothed than she did in any of he......more

There are no winners in the traitor's game... I will attest to the truth of this statement. I certainly didn't win. In fact, I got to enjoy watching my heart getting ripped out and then roasted on a spit. I don't care what anyone else says about more famous fantasy authors, Jennifer Neilson is the QUE......more
