Dark fantasy romance with BDSM themes. Fair warning, the beginning of the story is mostly non consensual… but things heat up quickly. You do have to wait a while for this wonderful slow burn to ignite, and you will be desperate for the sequel to come out. (Because lord knows I am! May 2023 need to hurry up!)
Dual POV was interesting and the magic system /war is excellent for building tension.
Audiobook is also wonderful, the narrator’s did an amazing job!

Graphic: Sexual violence
Moderate: Kidnapping
The book has heavy BDSM themes and in the beginning they aren’t really consensual.
