As the Duke and Alice grapple with the truths revealed at the Witch’s Sabbath, they recall the long-ago days when Alice first came to the secluded mansion in the forest nearly two years before. The Duke’s bitterness and isolation made him poor company, at first, but Alice worked hard to bring him out of his shell. What tribulations did the two of them go through apart before they came together? The much-anticipated tale of how the two fell in love…!
I loved reading about Alice's past with the Duke and how she came back into his life after a few years apart. The Duke was struggling with depression and rage, and Alice helped him get through a dark time in his life.
I like Caph and Zain, I think they are great additions. So is reading about Viola. We meet a new character, the second son and heir apparent Walter. Walter is jealous of the Duke, and he doesn't like him.
The best volume yet! It's taken me till about halfway through volume 3 to start to get into the series, and after this volume, I'm curious at what comes next!!
