In a world divided into four rival dominions, power is everything—and Rubi Morningtail has almost none. Three years after the Annihilation destroyed her homeland and shattered her memories, she lives as an Azure refugee in the Dominion of the Silver Tyger, scraping by as a ribbon dancer and hiding her little bit of singing magic. When she wounds a massive battle tyger on her doorstep, she draws the notice of Blake Axefire—supreme metal mage, leader of the royal Tyger Warriors, and the last man an Azure should trust. His sentence? Cast her into the Bonding, a brutal trial where tygers choose their riders and slaughter the rest. Surviving is unthinkable.
But survive she does. Now she’s stuck on Blake’s elite team racing to reseal the Anchors to the Demon Realm. With rebels striking, demons rising, and the dominions at each other’s throats, Rubi must unlock the truth of her magic and her past…while resisting her dangerous attraction to the ruthless warrior who could be her redemption—or her ruin.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An amnesiac dancer struggles to find her place in a world ruled by four Dominions and loosely inspired by Chinese mythology in this predictable romantasy, the first from lit fic author Kwok (Girl in Translation). The dancer, Rubi Morningtail, is elevated from her status as an Azure Dominion peasant in possession of only pitiful magic to become an elite warrior after she is chosen as a rider by one of the Silver Dominion's prized tygers. This change sparks a slow-burning romance between Rubi and Blake Axefire, feared Silver warrior and Azure-hater. Rubi and Blake's tension-filled training is set against a thinly sketched backdrop of a demonic threat, an ancient prophecy, and intense but underdeveloped political ambitions. The fantasy elements, which could be fascinating given further development, instead mostly serve as set dressing for the romance, which plays out in typical enemies-to-lovers fashion, but will please those in it exclusively for the spice. The twists are easy to anticipate, with characters and plot arcs following tried-and-true archetypes. It's frustratingly basic, but fans of Dawn of the Firebird and The Last Starborn Seer seeking a familiar story will find that here.
