She wasn’t allowed to socialize, besides with her maid Tawny, who I loved! And she wasn’t to be spoken to or even touched. She spent her life being veiled and protected at all costs. Penellaphe, aka Poppy, is my favorite heroine! She was chosen by the Gods to be the Maiden. My fingers closed around the smooth, cool handle of the dagger. “You’re not going to make a sound, and you’re not going to give me any trouble, are you, Maiden?” While Poppy had a past with them, she wouldn’t let fear rule her present or future! “We’re going to walk out of here,” he said.

This book refused to be put down! If you love fantasy and romance, you definitely need to add this one to your tbr! “You’re such a bad influence,” I murmured as I placed my hand in his. The storyline enchanted me and the action kept me glued to the pages. The sexual tension was absolutely perfect and the characters are forever etched into my heart.

The story was layered and the twists and turns were breathtaking. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.įorsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods.
