Synopsis

A PRINCE fighting to save a princess
A SERJAH torn between duty and desire
A PRINCESS willing to sacrifice everything
A DECOY with nothing to lose
A WORLD about to be torn apart

After his father’s latest punishment, Grayson isn’t at his full strength. Trapped in Ryden and surrounded by enemies, he knows escaping with Mia will be more complicated than anticipated. Tyrell is determined to claim Mia for himself, and Henri’s plans for the rest of Eyrinthia are more horrific than Grayson ever imagined. Despite the increased danger, he and Mia must return to Mortise and warn Desfan of what’s coming—even though it may already be too late.

In Mortise, the palace is still reeling from the brutal attack that left many dead and even more wounded. Regardless of the chaos, Desfan is determined to continue with his coronation. As serjan, he hopes to bring stability to his country and solidify the peace with Devendra. But things in Eyrinthia are always complicated. When Prince Liam reveals they may be facing dangers from old enemies, Desfan will have to decide what kind of ruler he will be.

Devastating news from home has left Clare broken. Despite her heartache, she must once again be Serene’s decoy when a terrifying report sends the princess on an unexpected mission to Zennor. Left at the palace, Clare helps Desfan build trust with the elite in Mortise while guarding a treasonous secret. Because as her grief transforms into a burning desire for vengeance, she is finally ready to embrace a new role—rebel.

Eyrinthia is consumed by uncertainty. Duty. Desire. Sacrifice. Every rebellion has its cost.

Review

I was given this ARC as a gift from the author. My opinions and thoughts of the book are mine alone.

This is the fourth installment of Heather Frost’s Fate of Eyrinthia series. I have to admit, I found this series after I received the ARC from the author. I felt that I needed to read the other books first. Let me tell you that I got in this loop of storytelling that I couldn’t get out of it. Okay maybe I also didn’t want it to end. The whole series is absolutely amazing.

Now let’s talk about this book. Page turner is a complete understatement. There is so much depth and probably some of the best comedic timing all between two bookends. There is something so special about reading this author’s work. Frost has such a gift. There is a cliffhanger. I wouldn’t even call it that actually, but a hopeful idea for future installments. I am completely wrapped up in the world that Frost built. There is so much to unwrap in this book.

My Rating: Okay I know this rating shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars! I want to read this book for the first time again. I want to experience it as a first-time reader. I have to admit that I have read this book more than once. Okay also more than twice. I believe this is one of my new go to series! I think that others who enjoy wonderful world building and a fantasy empire will fall in love with this book, just like me.
