Publisher Description
On a deadly mission to kill the mythical beast that has been haunting her woods, a desperate mage finds her fate intertwined with the handsome and powerful man who saves her in this dark and sexy romantasy – perfect for readers of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Callie Hart, and Holly Black.
There’s something in the woods…
When a vicious beast begins attacking her fellow villagers, Riela reluctantly agrees to enter the forbidden forest and kill the monster as she’s the only mage available – or so she thought.
Untrained and barely armed, Riela is quickly overwhelmed when one beast turns into two. She fears her death is at hand until the unexpected arrival of a scarred, strikingly handsome man with gleaming moonlit magic changes her fate – and provides a rare opportunity to learn more about her own fickle power.
After being rescued and healed from her fight in the forest, Riela awakens in a magical castle complete with a gorgeous library, a strange wolf, and the surly man who saved her life. She soon learns Garrick is both more powerful and far deadlier than a mere mortal mage –he’s a dangerous Etheri who has been locked out of his kingdom in Lohka for nearly a century, and his powers are weakening.
Trapped in his castle and surrounded by the treacherous woods, the spark of attraction between Riela and Garrick slowly ignites into fiery desire. But the more they discover about Riela’s magic, the more suspicious Garrick grows of her identity. As they unravel the secrets and lies connecting Riela’s past to Garrick’s, the tenuous threads of trust between them start to fray.
Because Riela’s life –or her death – might be the key to regaining everything Garrick has lost.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A fae falls in love with a human mage in this middling romantasy series launch from Mihalik (the Consortium Rebellion series). Riela is the last mage in her village and the only one who might be able to defeat the monster that's been hunting the townsfolk. She heads into the Forsaken Forest to track down the beast and is brutally attacked. Just as she accepts that she's about to die, she's saved by Garrick Ryv'ner, "King Stoneguard, the Silver King, and ruler of the Silver Court," who whisks her away to his court. There, Riela learns about the world beyond her village, the magical Etheri people, and the truth of her own identity. A slow-burning but still steamy romance sparks between her and Garrick as their relationship progresses from mistrust to desire. Unfortunately, the gripping action of the opening dissipates in the plot's middle section as the stakes of Riela's unraveling of her magical identity feel relatively low. A final reveal ramps things up once more, setting the stage for excitement to come. Readers will hope for more action in the next installment.
