Publisher Description
A noblewoman with hidden magic. An exiled prince with dark secrets. Only together can they escape their magical prison and save their realm, in this romantic fantasy novel from Jamie Thomas.
Asperfell, legendary prison of mages, is home to violent criminals and demented spirits. No one has ever left.
Briony, as far as she knows, is neither mage nor spirit. Growing up on a secluded countryside estate, she has spent her life removed from the politics of the capital. But after her father is killed for sedition, the vicious King Keric sentences her to death. Only by slipping through the gate to Asperfell can she save herself. To stay alive, she must find the former crown prince, banished there to die years before. He holds the key to finding their way back home.
What she finds beyond the gate is a world of dark magic and darker secrets. Of cryptic whispers and dangerous mages. And, there in the depths, a bleak and broken man with no interest in being rescued. . . .
Customer Reviews
One of my favorite reads so far this year
Look, I’ve struggled with much of the recent fantasy publishings. I have many complaints, but none are directed to this book.
This was great storytelling. The foreshadowing was done well. The prose was not lazy. I can picture how a baker or a random person on the street probably lived. The world building is solid. Most importantly, the story is not dependent upon the protagonist to be stupid to push the plot along.
This is worth reading. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Great read!
Lots of details but a great read!!
Fantastic
Imaginative, funny, action-packed, and romantic, this fantasy is everything you could want in an escape.
