No war can be fought with clean hands. Not even the ones waged for the right reasons. Not even the ones you win. Tisaanah bargained away her own freedom to save those she left behind in slavery. Now, bound by her blood pact, she must fight the Orders’ war -- and Max is determined to protect her at all costs. But when a betrayal tears apart Ara, Max and Tisaanah are pushed into an even bloodier conflict. Tisaanah must gamble with Reshaye’s power to claim an impossible victory. And Max, forced into leadership, must confront everything he hoped to forget: his past, and his own mysterious magic. All the while, darker forces loom -- far darker, even, than the Orders’ secrets. As Tisaanah and Max are ensnared in a web of ancient magic and twisted secrets, one question remains: what are they willing to sacrifice for victory? For power? For love?

I loved this!!! Def more of a wartime book, not so much romance/tension in this one. I enjoyed the Fey storyline a lot. Felt like the first half of the book dragged on a little bit (wartime activities mainly) but once things started happening?!? DANG they started happening!!! Shit goes DOWN. Some cool revelations and use of alternate POVs, I had a feeling that something was coming and I was sort of on-track, but most of it was still a good reveal, especially one piece at the very end. I still really enjoyed the characters. Some are very much themselves and are hardheaded in their ways, others show development, and others simply shocked me but not in a good way. In my heart this is a 5 star read, but i’m gonna make it 4 just because the pacing didn’t feel as consistent as in book 1.
