Picture this: a world filled with magic, fae, love, and war. In this world, the healer Arwen Valondale's step-brother Rider and her love interest Haldon were conscripted to fight against the Onyx kingdom, but they haven't been heard from for a year. Then, Rider returns with stolen Onyx gold and the family flees to Garnet for a better life. But fate has a different plan for Arwen - she is captured and taken to the Onyx dungeons in Shadowhold. There, she discovers secrets being kept from the common folk of Amber and realizes that everything she's been told isn't entirely the truth.

But that's not all - the book also contains breathtaking scenery, well-written magic, and love that will melt your heart. Despite being somewhat derivative in places, it's still an enjoyable read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The way the author built the world and the relationship between the characters is simply outstanding. You'll feel the romantic tension and enjoy the delightful banter while immersing yourself in a highly detailed and imaginative world. Trust me, you'll fall in love with both the main female character and her love interest, as they are fully developed characters that will capture your heart. I highly recommend this book - it's definitely worth a read!

Due to recent events with Joe Adren, I do not want to comment on the narration.
