But I especially loved that both characters are strong on their own, are perfectly happy being on their own, and neither one overpowers the other. The relationship between Eliana and The Wolf is so full of all sorts of different kinds of tension, and I couldn’t decide whether they were going to kiss or kill each other, and this is sooo my type of character interaction.īecause life is about decisions, and you know, sometimes the knife wins out. Then again, Romeo was kind of boring and (spoiler alert?) ended up killing himself in the end, so … probably, that’s a good thing.īut The Wolf has a darkness in him and is obviously just a teensy bit broken, despite being strong and capable and protective, and who doesn’t find that sexy? I mean, come on. ❧ The Wolf makes the fangirl in me really happy.ĭon’t get me wrong, he’s no Romeo. I’m actually ridiculously excited to see where book two takes her. Maybe just … 75% heartless? There’s still plenty of room for growth in her character, and she has a good character arc, even though it’s obviously not completed by the end of the book. She’s good at what she does and takes pride in it, because that’s the easiest way to keep your sanity and stay alive.īut wait! That doesn’t mean she’s entirely heartless. She isn’t inherently evil, yet rather, a product of the world she lives in. ❧ Eliana, a.k.a the Dread of Orline, is pretty much everything you could want in an antiheroine. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire’s heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.Īs Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world-and of each other. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable-until her mother vanishes.
One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora.
If she fails, she will be executed…unless the trials kill her first.
To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and a queen of blood. The stunningly original, must-read fantasy of 2018 follows two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world…or doom it.
