5.0

A spell saves Estyria's life by sending her to her mother's homeland. This realm is filled with powerful magic, gods, and a feudal system with plenty of court intrigue.

I absolutely love all the characters. Estyria, her grandparents, Sethalor, and Aedrian - all of 'em!! Estyria, Seth, and Aedrian are a recklessly codependent, soul-bound trio and the tension between them, I love it omg!! This book had me so enthralled between the court intrigue, sexual tension, and assassinations. It felt like reading source material for an anime and I could not put it down.

I'd recommend this to people who like court intrigue, soul-bond trope, harems, sexual tension, and historical fantasies with magic.
