After the Imperial Prince Taam tragically dies, his widower, Jainan, is rushed into an arranged marriage with the prince’s cousin, Kiem, in attempt to keep the hostilities between Thea and Iskat under control. However, it starts to look like the prince’s death was not an accident, putting his widower as a suspect.

Slow burn and arranged marriage are both tropes I really enjoy, so the fact th ...more

It’s probably a bit odd that I hate political themed books when they’re set on earth…but throw political drama onto another planet or into space and I’m hooked.

sci-fi intrigue with a dash of romance.

A bit slow to start, and the miscommunications bugged me, but the intrigue and danger ramped up and things moved quickly. I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Keim was lovely. I adored him! Jainan was a bit tragic but i loved his strength. This is a new to me author and I’ll definitely read book two!

I was worried going into reading this but quickly realised it was going to be a fun ride. I really enjoyed the two characters and how different their voices were within the story. Sometimes it can be hard to tell who is talking but that wasn't the case with this book. None of the twists were particularly surprising but I enjoyed the world-building and will be keeping an eye out for any more set in this universe. ...more
