Brigid Kemmerer
Dangerous magic. Fateful choices. Broken promises. The spellbinding series by New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer continues. The King's Courier Tycho has made a treacherous bargain. Now beholden to the magical scraver who saved King Gray's life, one false move could end everything. Jax escaped his life in Briarlock and traveled with Tycho to Emberfall. But life outside his small village brings unexpected challenges--and unlikely adversaries. After years of hating the royal family and their magic, Callyn never expected to be at the Queen's side, with magic on her fingertips. But at the royal court, she can't trust anyone--including the man she thought she loved. Cast apart, Tycho, Jax, and Callyn must learn to wield the magic that is dividing their kingdom. As the magical scravers attack from the north and the king's rivals gain strength, time is running out. War is looming. Love is tested. And magic could be the only answer. . .

A slow start that brought new dynamics and a different insight into some characters.

0It's always a pleasure to come back to the mistyruous world of Emberfall and Sylh Shallow. This book had a slow pace but that led to a major world building that escalated during the reading to a point that was impossible to put the book down. This slow pacing helped to developed the characters and added a depth that they didn't had in the last installment and that explained so much about what was happening in this world and with the characters - it showed their fears and their vulnerabilities. The politics were very present in this book and the fear of magic was the main focus of the story. This mix made the novel compelling that led to a explosive ending and I can't wait for the next book!
