The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel. I've spent my life kneeling--to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my duty is to wear the crown and obey the king. I was never meant to rule or fight--or seal an ancient treaty with my own blood. But one fateful day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores, and a prince ruined my life. Now I'm crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him--bound to a future I ddin't choose and a husband I barely know. Everyone wants me to be something I'm not--a queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I refused this role and made my own rules? And what if--for the first time--I reached for power?

Reviewed by DariOh Jesus, I loved every damn page in that book.
Reviewed by Elias DolecekThis was very enjoyable, had the guilty pleasure feel of a good fanfiction, and if sleep and food and other adult responsibilities like work - ugh - were not a thing I’d have read this in one sitting. It reads fast and addictive and is all in all just a really good time. However, I smelled most of the plot twists (there are many) ten miles away, which didn’t make it any less enjoyable though. The slow burn is delicious but somehow a bit unsatisfying in its conclusion. Moreover there are some things that imo would’ve needed a bit more elaboration (Faze). Still the ending left me hungry for more and I cannot wait for the second book!
