Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This new romantasy series is definitely going to be big. World building, politics, and slow burn steam! 
🐍enemies to lovers
🐍"my wife"
🐍deadly magic 
🐍slow burn
🐍twists and politics
🐍arranged marriage/fake dating 
🐍found family 
🐍"who did this to you"

I loved the MMC and FMC - Reid is a cinnamon roll and Vaasa is so strong and stubborn. The side characters are just as interesting and I'm interested to see if we get a Koen love story 🥹. World building and magic were well-conceived, and I was impressed and engaged with the political plot lines. I can't wait for this book to come out so I can talk about it with everyone!
