Publisher Description
Masquerades, monarchs, and . . . misalliances?
All her life, Jessa Caldwell has feared the Vigil—and now they’ve claimed her. Worse yet, they’re not acting alone. Someone directs their every move, someone all too interested in Jessa—and her sisters. Even if she breaks free of her unnatural prison, the Vigil will not so readily relinquish their claim, nor will the unknown fae who hunts her across realms.
As she struggles to clear her name, protect her family, and uncover the truth about her past, she soon finds herself in the center of a conflict that threatens both worlds, an age-old menace capable of harming mortal and fae alike. In partnership with fae arbiter Riven and her bonded kit-isne Jade, Jessa strives for a path that will keep endangered innocents safe—no easy task when someone is making her out to be the threat.
To have any chance of saving that which she loves, she must forfeit it all for a world of court rivalries, power games, and treacherous bargains, where no one is what they seem. If she can’t discern truth from illusion in time, she’ll lose not only her family, but also her very self.

A MUST READ
The most loveable of FMCs, the slowest of slowburns, the best writtwn side characters.
Mirror of Argent might just be my favorite installment yet. I have no words to describe just how much I enjoyed reading this, but I'll try. For reference, I am a medical student working 80 unpaid hours per week, but I gobbled this beast of a book up in 6 hours bc it was THAT GOOD. I CRIED OVER A TREE, THE WRITING IS JUST THAT GOOD.
I did notice there is so much emphasis on balance in this series. Everyone is trying to balance duties with values, emotions with abilities and stoicism, etc etc.
- The FMC:
Jessa is so loveable. Her character development in this book continues as she learns to navigate the tricky Fae courts. Seeing her find loopholes to maintain her human values while embracing her Fae nature was like watching a tightrope walker balance in the air. I loved the parts where the cold and conniving Fae react to her being so considerate, human and emotional. It's almost like they fear her as a freak of nature for it and it was hilarious to read. She is so powerful and doesn't quite know it yet, if not for her abilities, then for her resilience and her will to die on the hill of goodness. She refuses to give in to the Fae ways, and I just know she's gonna be a harbinger of change in the courts.
- The MMC:
We all love Riven. It is so refreshing to have a male lead who isn't just a lustful, overbearing king or lord existing for the sake of being a romantic interest. Riven matters to the plot, and he does an excellent job at navigating the narrow balance between his duties as the cold, powerful fae arbiter and his deep seated desire to develop lasting relationships and friendships. We saw so much more of him in this book, including a very intimate look into his abilities as arbiter. Watching him attempt to reign in his destructive powers to protect those he cares for was intense. He cares so much for Jessa and I love the immense slowburn of their relationship. We're at the point where they both have admitted their feelings to themselves but not to one another.
- The Family:
I love Jessa's family. I love how intensely the sisters love one another. Ada, Ainslie and Jessa are willing to sacrifice for one another, and it is the undefeatable power of love that I think the Fae have yet to discover. Perhaps they fear it. And I think Jessa will be the one to prove just how powerful a tool love can be.
PLEASE READ THIS SERIES!!!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. **That is not to say, however, that these words are not 100% my true, unadulterated and passionate feelings about this series.**
