�� Summary
Twelve years ago Shaye's world is turned upside down. In the present she's just living her life, traveling the world and enjoying everything the life has to give.
When a darkness starts spreading in Asterion, the newly crowned King has to track her down. Being the last living Druid, she just may be their last chance in stopping this darkness that threatens to swallow them all.
Shaye must get over the fact that Sorin's father slaughtered her family, in order to help him and the kingdom that's always been her home.

�� Plot/Writing
Embarking in a quest to find the artifact that can help them save the kingdom of Asterion, their path isn't an easy one.
The stakes are high. Dark entities are waiting on the side, ready to stop them.
I enjoy a good adventure story and this was one of the few I read in a long time.
This story is fast paced and captivating, not easy to put down.

�� Worldbuilding
I have to admit, when I saw how short this high-fantasy is, I thought for a moment "I don't think this is going be such a good one, but let's give it a try". I'm glad I decided to, because this was such a good book!
Amazing and beautifully detailed worldbuilding. The magic system well described and easy to understand. Creatures that may give you nightmares.

�� Characters
�� Shaye
This woman is such a strong character, brave, wouldn't let herself be fooled by anyone and would literally kick your ass if she feels like it. I adore her.
�� Sorin
Sorin is such a great character. Respectful, honorable, kind and loyal, would do anything for the ones he loves, but also cares for his the good of his people.
�� The villain
I hated him from the beginning and that won't change. This man is evil incarnate, doesn't care about anyone, has no scruples and would do anything to anyone to take revenge on the ones who wronged him. In a way, I admire his dedication, but he's so far gone ... truly a villain.

�� Romance
The relationship between the main characters has a slow build and I really liked that. We are witnessing how enemies turn to lovers and it's my favorite trope in the world.
When another man makes an appearance and twists everything around I got so pissed. We have a love triangle moment, which is so frustrating and not because of her but because ... you'll get it when you read it.

�� Conclusion
The last few pages made me want to scream and throw something. Things take an ugly twist and we're left to suffer. I had angry tears in my eyes and I wanted to throw that someone off a cliff. I hope Shaye does it in my place.

This is definitely one of the books that deserve more hype. If you're looking for a short high-fantasy read, with a great cast of character, dark vibes and a drop of romance, this may be just the perfect one for you ❤️��
