Winter’s Realm calls me the Slave Queen. They call my love, Vale, a traitor—and far, far worse. Lucky for them, I don’t have time for gossip, not with a troop of humans to protect, a magical hallow to find, and rebels to ally with. All that and Winter’s Realm gets colder by the day. With colder temperatures the monsters that don’t live in castles come out to play. The rebels, as dangerous as they have shown themselves to be, might be my best chance at survival and getting revenge on King Magnus. That is, if the rebels will have me at all. I am, after all, the Cruel King’s daughter. From what I’ve heard King Harald Falk deserved that title. He was vicious and cold and unpredictable. That’s what they all say. All of them except for one person. A fae who, if they told their story, would throw the kingdom on its head. Just like I plan to do when I avenge my family or die trying. A Hallow of Storm and Ruin a dual POV fae fantasy romance filled with secrets, a steamy romance, and adventure. If you like the twists and turns of Throne of Glass and the adventure and lore of Game of Thrones, you’ll love this installment in The Winter Court Series.A Hallow of Storm and Ruin is intended for readers over 18 years of age.

Arc Review:
While the writing in A Hallow of Storm and Ruin has improved from the first two books, it’s still a slog at 700 pages. The pacing drags, and scenes often feel overly drawn out without enough payoff.
Some moments feel a little too familiar, like the giant spider Falagog falling from the ceiling and declaring she can’t stop her children from eating “food that walks into their home.” It’s hard not to be reminded of a certain Harry Potter scene, just with a few tweaks.
Despite better prose, the story leans too heavily on overused tropes and stretched-out moments. I won’t be continuing this series.
