Description de l’éditeur
Custom demanded that Prince Urban get a love mark tattooed to the side of his left eye as an infant, just like the rest of his people, but to him, the stupid things have only brought on the scorn of his father, the misery of his siblings, and caused his entire kingdom to go broke from fighting so many wars over the irritating ink stains.
When Urban’s sister must travel to Donnelly, the kingdom within the sand, for her arranged marriage to align two realms, he goes with her. But he no sooner steps foot inside their castle than his mark starts itching like a son of a bitch, telling him his one true love is near.
It just figures, though, that the woman meant for him is completely forbidden. Now he must decide if he should ignore the persistent mark, telling him she's the one, in order to avoid a possible war between kingdoms, or if he should discover whether she's worth risking everything for so they can be together. Either way, his life gets sucked into chaos with threats of beheadings, dark magic lurking, castle traitors scheming, and sword fights eminent.
Who knew one little tattoo could cause so much trouble?
(ONE TRUE LOVE is the author’s first attempt at a fantasy romance. Please forgive her; she might’ve read an overabundance of Cassandra Gannon, Sarah J. Maas, and Eve Langlais books, then gone off to watch too many episodes of Supernatural, Game of Thrones, and Outlander, because this was the outcome.)
Avis d’utilisateurs
Great love story
As Linda Kage's first foray into the fantasy genre, she sure did a great job. OTL definitely hit the mark with the world building. The different civilisations, nations and customs were solidly structured, the backstories anh history fleshed out properly with just enough loopholes to keep us surprised at a few twists along the way.
As for the romance of it, I honestly needn't say anything other than, this is LINDA KAGE we're talking about. The woman writes great love stories, always has, and Urban and Vienne were no different.
I loved the complete and utter devotion Urban had for Vienne, even long before she knew anything about him. I felt his pain and his loneliness trying to deal with a desperate situation, and rejoiced every time his feelings were reciprocated. The ups and downs were killer and heart-wrenching. Be it Vienne's guilt every time she dreamed of Urban, or his jealousy every time her husband or daughter were brought into question, the feelings this story invoked in me were real and intense, and what more can we ask for in a romance to be honest.
I'm ecstatic to see where Nicolette's journey takes her and her rugged suitor, it's going to be great, I just know it <3
