Publisher Description
Elina is a fae of the Western Woods, a region filled with tall forests and green fields. She lives a life of peaceful bliss until the day her father, the king of the fae, dies. Then everything goes wrong.
Her uncle assumes the throne, and his heart is as cruel as the biting north wind. He gives her only two choices: to be sold as a bride to the dragon king of the southern region or be ‘removed’ from the line of succession. Elina chooses to cling to life and arrives at the southern capital city of the ancient dragon king, a creature tens of thousands of years old. She discovers a vibrant city with many sights and many secrets.
The worst-kept secret is the size of the king’s harem. He hosts dozens of women from all the surrounding kingdoms, and she finds herself awash in a sea of unfamiliar, and sometimes hostile, faces. Competition for the king’s affection is fierce among those seeking favors, and her pretty face is a magnet for jealousy and cruel tricks.
Now, Elina must face a new life and new dangers as she navigates a world of dark lies and even darker plots. All the while, a pair of golden dragon eyes watches her very closely.
Customer Reviews
Massive cliff hanger
I try not to review books to stop other readers from enjoying a book because of my personal opinion but - this is one I felt strongly about. This book is a good read but I wanted more. Its ending leaves much to be desired with an abrupt halt. The ending doesn’t leave you wanting more, it leaves you unsatisfied. Much like a wonderful looking meal that doesn’t taste as good as it smells or looks, this book leaves you with a mouthwatering craving and a dull, bland taste that you’re unsure if you wish to swallow - or in this case, purchase the next book.
I enjoy Mac’s books and will frequently read them as they pop up but I fear this one may have gone too far trying to drag readers to the next book. I, personally, wash my hands of it after this review.
