Lunette, the People’s Warrior, has come to Whitehaven. Now she’s working with Bonfire, a hot-headed hero who’s more likely to hurt than help the people he’s protecting. Lunette and Bonfire along with Strike, a woman with powers and a mystery of her own, Cabaya, a strong archer, and Marryn, an axe-wielding woman in love, must learn to work together and trust one another to protect Whitehaven against the criminal organization of the Xanites.
Princess Rachel Colville of Zorba’s Reach is a prim and proper princess who follows orders, even if she’s being forced to marry Prince Gary Naxison of Ada’s Circle. Rachel, along with her sister and her maid, travels to Ada’s Circle to meet her betrothed. Now Rachel has two years to fall in love with Gary, the betrothed she has nothing in common with, but will Prince Rodger, the younger twin brother who seeks her affection, be the one to catch her heart?

I'm surprised that the author had control over the cover because the cover is insanely misleading. Is that really what the undercover alias wears as glasses, and no one recognizes her? How can a reader tell this is a fantasy novel? From the cover, I would take this book to be a realistic fiction in our world (or one similar) who uncovers mysteries; instead she is a princess in a world with elves and magic but the elves don't really matter because they have no real meaning in the book.
There are a group of people who protect their realms at night (because the bad guys ONLY come out at night, of course) until the princesses go to another realm when Rachel is betrothed to the other's prince, and suddenly these mysterious warriors spawn like bunnies. It was not too obvious at first who Lunette is, only because we get into the heads of the princesses, but it's obvious one of them is. I knew who Bonfire was immediately.
There is an evil group called the Xanites and even though the answer isn't in this book, I'm pretty positive the prince's cousin Xantos is in charge.
There was one thing I didn't predict, but it was done poorly. Someone can change their appearance, but for some reason, they still have female breasts, so the change isn't complete? That makes no sense.
I do like how when people are in their alter-egos, those names are used. It made it easy to know who each person was at a given time.
The pace is very fast and suddenly two years zoom by but it feels like months. And people are just randomly falling in love left and right.
The amount of unnecessary lying people do in this book is annoying. As is the fact that people pursue others who are betrothed. Rude much?
Why does no one truly care about how Rodger acts, especially around Rachel?
As more warriors join together, people just know their names. How? Why is everyone okay with this? Why do the Xanites only come out at night?
How is Lunette [spoiler]'s "true self?" Why can't it all be her? Why does she put on a facade anyway?
Debating between 2 and 3 stars, but some of the story was good enough that a 2.5 star rating will bump this up.

This was an enjoyable action packed story.
I did struggle following the characters, leaving me totally confused at times.
There was plenty of action / violence with a little be of romance.
Overall though an enjoyable read for Young adults and older.

If you’re a superhero fan who loves fantasy that’s in a medieval setting, this is the book for you. Hayden does an amazing job developing characters, painting pictures, and telling a beautiful story with action, romance, friendship, and family, plus an enemy or more.

Great story.
Lots of intertwining story lines. Sometimes hard to keep track of the story lines.
Looking forward to next in the series.

What a fun book! The two main characters, Rachel and Lunette are so different, but when their paths cross, the action really begins! I stayed up until midnight just to see how it would end!
