An original, gripping fantasy duology!

The world is divided between two types of people: the pure or Mor they are called, a healthy span of the population unlikely to get any disease and the branded, who are subject to sickness and infection. They have a distinction on their skin, a brand. They are treated differently, the Mor getting respect and worshipped for their breeding abilities while the branded live in poverty and scarcity.

Nara and Osha are orphan sisters, taken to Isfalk since their grandmother died, they grew up among Mor and treated like them. But secrets and lies from the past threatens their peaceful life…

The world building was great in this one, hooking us from page one. We have great banter, enemies to lovers, complex characters and an interesting storyline. The FMC is fierce and hot-tempered, the MMC is really secretive and we never know his motivations for sure and I really want to know what he’s about.
The ending left me intrigued for the next installment to say the least!

Thanks to NetGalley and Angry Robot for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!
