This book follows closely behind the first. Aldara is a companion or possession of the young prince. A new peace treaty with the kingdom that own's her and their enemy has been made by the older prince. They will sell women in exchange for peace.

This book gives you just as much if not more emotion and feelings than the first. In this book there is also some representation for PTSD as Aldara is recovering from her ordeal in book one.

We get more of the secondary characters in this book, and though they could have been flushed out a bit more, you really do get quite a lot from them. I think the side characters in this continuation help propel the plot forward.

This book is beautiful yet heartbreaking. Tanya stays on track with some brutal scenes and it really helps you become emotionally invested in the characters themselves.

The political intrigue and scheming was intensified in this book and has you on the edge of your seat the entire time. I had a hard time putting this book down. I've read this book twice and I think both times I read it in two sittings. At this point of the series you become invested in the characters and their stories. I can tell you for certain I rarely get emotional when reading but this series has my emotions on overdrive. Aldara and Tyron can't catch a break to save their lives.

I'm slowing making my way through the series now that it's completed and I'm not sure how I feel about it being over once I do. Though I can't wait at the same time!
