Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

The eyes are the windows to the soul. The Oracle foretold that Princess Valda Aither of the Sky Kingdom would discover her mate on her twenty-fifth birthday. They would lock eyes and find each other, as has happened since the dawn of time. Valda desperately wanted to believe the Oracle, but her hopes of finding her soulmate were shattered when she inexplicably lost her vision during her birthday celebration. Needing time to heal and adapt to her new reality, she was assigned an assistant, a young woman named Maris Era, who set her body and mind ablaze. Maris just wanted to navigate life as quietly as possible. After her home in the Sea Kingdom was destroyed, she was adopted as a baby by a Skylian soldier and his wife. Maris was kept hidden for most of her life until tragedy struck. Alone and struggling to survive in a kingdom where Sealians are unwelcome, Maris found herself working in Oberon Castle, face-to-face with the man she believes is responsible for her suffering, while also caring for the next queen of the Sky Kingdom. Despite her reluctance to accept a mate, Maris cannot resist her attraction to Valda and the need to be with her at all times. Yet, she must uncover the truth about who was behind her family’s demise, but how can she do so when Valda consumes her every breath?TRIGGER Explicit sex between two womenViolenceXenophobiaMention and description of someone finding out a loved one committed suicide.

    This book weaves Greek mythology into a rich fantasy world, creating an immersive setting that feels both familiar and fresh.

    Valda and Maris are compelling protagonists with undeniable chemistry, and their journey from reluctant allies to something deeper is both believable and engaging.

    The plot strikes a great balance between romance, mystery, and political intrigue, keeping things dynamic without ever feeling overwhelming.

    It’s a must-read for fans of sapphic narratives and those who appreciate stories that balance passion with profound thematic exploration.

    I love that there’s plenty of smut throughout.
    If you prefer less smut or only want it at the very end after a long buildup, this might not be the book for you. I don’t enjoy stories where there’s endless tension just for the characters to finally have sex after chapters of waiting—I’d rather see that passion woven naturally throughout, and this book delivers on that. Which is why I like it.
