I knew what I was getting in this book, it's a prequel, so we know how this was going to wrap up and still I went into it with open arms.

Do not read this if you haven't read the original trilogy! Also if you have read the originals right away maybe give yourself some time to grieve before diving into this cause it will break you all over again.

Marc and Penelope were all I dreamed they would be, and their love was so perfect, this catalyst for pushing the change that Marc was certain might never ...more

We are back in Trollus, but this time before the Songbird’s entrance.

This is the story of Marc and Penelope and provides us with an explanation for Marc’s character in the The Malediction Trilogy.

After finishing the Malediction Trilogy and loving it, I really wanted to get to know more about Marc and Penelope. The second I started reading this book I knew it was going to be a great and heartbreaking story. The book, even though we know the outcome, was still compelling to read. I loved Marc from the Malediction Trilogy, he was one of the most complex characters of the series. He was so tortured from his pasted and it was nice to see his story brought beautifully to life in The Broken One ...more

Danielle's amazing writing once again doesn't let the readers down. What an amazing addition to the Malediction Trilogy! I loved learning more about the character's pasts; characters that I love and will always be important to me. I love how Danielle is able to mix fantasy, romance and political intrigue perfectly! Her books are always a pleasure to read while also being smart and complex. I can't wait to see what other incredible worlds she will create for us! ...more
