Thank you to the publisher for the gifted review copy. My opinions are my own.

A fantasy written by one of my favorite historical romance authors? 
With middle eastern myth roots? 
And magic?
Absolutely yes please!! 

Spunky bladesmith with a penchant for working with magical stone illegally, receives an invitation to compete to become a bride of the crown prince, she only accepts to see the capital city, she wants nothing to do with the royal family. I was blown away with the world building, the story and the magic. The e-book book sucked me in and I finished it in two reading sessions  I loved Suraya and identified with her romance book love, but also with her curiosity and love of family.  I was intrigued with Roshan and what is actually going on with him. 

I am eagerly awaiting news of the next book because I want to know what on earth is going on with the the Darrius character since all we have are the few short chapters from his perspective.

Overall, highly recommend!
