But while her mother, the queen, remains busy at the war front, in the Dark Kingdom of Dorjhalon, the corrupt king is plotting. King Bain wants control of both kingdoms, and his plan will fling Evelayn onto the throne much sooner than she expected.
In order to defeat Bain and his sons, Evelayn will quickly have to come into her ability to shapeshift, and rely on the alluring Lord Tanvir. But not everyone is what they seem, and the balance between the Light and Dark comes at a steep price.

Considering this is one of the books that had been highly recommended to me by a friend, and then meeting the author at a book signing prompted me to finally read the book.... I expected more. Much more than what was delivered. This book from the get go, is mediocre, its sporadic hard to follow. It's nothing amazing and the plot is very lacking in everything that would make it better. The writing was sub-par and I felt like she tried to shove as many things as she could in the first book and yet the plot felt stagnant.
The world was very underdeveloped, and the rules and customs of the world were hard to understand. Larson tried to give us background knowledge of how her world worked, but it just didn't work out well. This book was described to me as a beautiful love story paired with the devastation of failure and a broken heart. And it was a failure, it failed the characters and the lackluster story line. And nothing about this book was memorable.
The end was a failure, and I understand this book is a LITERAL representation of the authors fight with depression.... I just didn't like the book
Until next time readers <3
