About this listen
Elsa, the sheltered daughter of a baron, has been forced to flee her home. When she's given refuge at the royal castle it would seem that help is at hand, but the young king is not an easy man to speak to. In fact, Elsa's not sure what kind of man he is.
Caught up into strange and magical happenings, political intrigues, and romantic conflicts, the glamorous world of the king disintegrates about her, and enemies close in. Elsa wonders who to trust, who to love, and if she will ever make it home again.

Story5 out of 5 stars 91
Cadence and her sister possess the seeds of glory and ruin—or so their father always insisted. Cadence never understood what he meant until Airlie’s seed of power is activated, turning her into the most powerful mage in generations. Despite knowing it must mean her own dormant seed is much more malevolent, Cadence is swept away to the distant Mage’s Guild in her sister’s wake. She’s used to living in Airlie’s shadow, but she can’t see a place for herself in this new world. Nor can she believe in the apparent interest of the charming Zeke. No one has ever chosen her over her beautiful sister.

After receiving a distressing letter from a friend, Lady Anne Addison wastes no time in traveling to Yorkshire to offer whatever help she can. She has no idea what she'll find there, but she certainly wasn't expecting to be met by tales of a werewolf terrorizing the area - nor the dead body she discovers upon arriving. Driven by curiosity and a keen intelligence, Lady Anne dismisses the notion of such a beast, but she's nonetheless drawn into the mysteries by the secrecy surrounding her friend and the infuriating yet enticing Lord Darkefell.

The second part was hard to get through. I didn't like her after she lost her memories. She suddenly felt like a bland side character instead of the MC. She spent the rest of the book observing the king and prince. They were bland too, I couldn't connect with them. I no longer felt like this story was really about her and it made it hard for me to care.
I didn't care about the romance either it felt like there were too many option and no one to get excited for her about.
Overall the book was okay the ending was satisfactory enough. I think I just wish the writing had stayed strong all the way through.
Good start then gets tedious.
