Publisher Description
“At once fresh, at once classic, Onyx and Ivory is a page-turning blend of monsters, magic, and romance.” —Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of Truthwitch
Acclaimed author Mindee Arnett thrusts readers into a beautiful, dangerous, and magical world in this stunningly epic and romantic fantasy for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sarah Raasch.
They call her Traitor Kate. It’s a title Kate Brighton inherited from her father after he tried to assassinate the high king of Rime.
Cast out of the nobility, Kate now works for the royal courier service. Only the most skilled ride for the Relay and only the fastest survive, for when night falls, the drakes—deadly flightless dragons—come out to hunt. Fortunately, Kate has a secret edge: She is a wilder, born with forbidden magic that allows her to influence the minds of animals.
And it’s this magic that leads her to a caravan massacred by drakes in broad daylight—the only survivor Corwin Tormaine, the son of the king. Her first love, the boy she swore to forget after he condemned her father to death.
With their paths once more entangled, Kate and Corwin must put the past behind them to face this new threat and an even darker menace stirring in the kingdom.
Customer Reviews
very good
honestly amazing world building. i was worried when I saw some people say it was boring in the middle but I found it cleverly interesting the whole way through. there’s no ‘action’ after the very beginning until the very end, which I assume is what they were referencing, however things are constantly happening and I was always anxious to continue reading simply for the charm and intrigue of kate/corwin’s situation and the general setting.
Great World building and Storytelling!
You fall in love with the characters and find yourself hoping, loving, and fighting right along with them.
Hoping for a sequel!
Oh Corwin. Oh kate!
These characters are wonderful and you fight right along side them.
