I am Renata Convida.
I have lived a hundred stolen lives.
Now I live my own.

Renata Convida was only a child when she was kidnapped by the King's Justice and brought to the luxurious palace of Andalucia. As a Robari, the rarest and most feared of the magical Moria, Renata's ability to steal memories from royal enemies enabled the King's Wrath, a siege that resulted in the deaths of thousands of her own people.

Now Renata is one of the Whispers, rebel spies working against the crown and helping the remaining Moria escape the kingdom bent on their destruction. The Whispers may have rescued Renata from the palace years ago, but she cannot escape their mistrust and hatred--or the overpowering memories of the hundreds of souls she turned "hollow" during her time in the palace.

When Dez, the commander of her unit, is taken captive by the notorious Sangrado Prince, Renata will do anything to save the boy whose love makes her place among the Whispers bearable. But a disastrous rescue attempt means Renata must return to the palace under cover and complete Dez's top secret mission. Can Renata convince her former captors that she remains loyal, even as she burns for vengeance against the brutal, enigmatic prince? Her life and the fate of the Moria depend on it.

But returning to the palace stirs childhood memories long locked away. As Renata grows more deeply embedded in the politics of the royal court, she uncovers a secret in her past that could change the entire fate of the kingdom--and end the war that has cost her everything.

Starting this now!

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Hot damn! That is one way to go out. Color me freaking intrigued people! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ugh, I need work people to leave me alone. I'm tryna read here!

[Alaina]

Ch 1-7: (view spoiler)[So far it's pretty interesting. I like the characters but I don't like how harsh they are against Ren at the same time. I'm also suspicious as to what is going to happen next. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 8-14: (view spoiler)[I can't believe Dez is dead. That broke my heart and now she is back in the castle. I feel like this plan of hers is going to fail at some parts but I'm very intrigued to see what she will do while there at the same time. I'm down for some serious revenge! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 15-24: (view spoiler)[Well shit.. what was he trying to say to her? Also were Dez and Castian brothers? That's what I'm thinking right now. I also wasn't expecting so many people to be helpers in the castle. I'm wondering if the prince is one of them as well.. because the King seems like a douche canoe. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 25-32: (view spoiler)[Ohh man. So many secrets are coming out now. I figured they were going to betray her once she said all of that. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Finish: (view spoiler)[I FREAKING KNEW IT! I knew they were brothers but dang - I can't believe he's still alive and just left them. Yikes. Okay. Let's see how this is all going to play out in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

I know! I was volunteering at Fitcon (fitness expo) and was so busy :(

[Alaina]

Aw I'm sorry! At least you are catching up now!

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 1-7: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, they're pretty terrible to her

[Aly]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I am interested in the different abilities, especially Renata's and Dez's. I do want more info about what happened to her as a child and how she was rescued (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

Yes, that would be some interesting information!

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 8-14: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah didn't see that coming! Her plan hinges on a lot and I'm sure it won't all go smoothly (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ I wonder if Dez is really dead. She didn't turn to see if it was his head and I have a feeling he might be okay. Maybe he's even involved in some kind of plot? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 15-24: [spoilers removed]"

I was wondering the same thing! (view spoiler)[ Castian seems like he's actually a better guy than the rumors say. And I thought Dez might be the brother he supposedly killed (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ I wish she would have listened to him instead of fighting Castian like that! Have some sense girl! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 25-32: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ How did she forget about Castian?? Did someone mess with her mind? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 32 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad she realized that Castian is a good guy finally. The Whispers are horrible, lying and betraying her (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Finish: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah running away was pretty shitty (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I hope Renata is able to lose her anger toward Castian now that she knows he's a good guy. Also, I'm very angry at Dez and I hope she gets to confront him about running away (hide spoiler)]

Hmm well remember she couldn't fully remember her time while she was there..

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Chapter 32 [spoilers removed]"

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Alaina wrote: "Finish: [spoilers removed]"

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

HECK YES! I want a huge confrontation! Like a good bitch slap - yeah, that would make me VERY happy.

[Alaina]
