(Blurb and cover taken from Goodreads)
Official blurb:
This is a standalone novella, and is the spin-off story of a historical event mentioned in The Fate of Crowns. It does not need to be read before book one in the series.
Only the beautiful can love, the graceful thrive, and the powerful reign… and I am none of those things
Fated to be the ugly princess, I was locked away behind castle doors. My father reigned with immortal power, and brothers and sisters were adored and loved by our people, and the throne that was supposed to belong to me would go my brother instead.
I wanted it all…
I turned to a darker magic, one without limits that would set me free… but love had other plans. My powers demanded sacrifice, but little did I know the greatest would be my heart.
My rating: four stars out of five
This was a quick read, as it’s a prequel novella.
I was so intrigued from the start about the main character, who has been locked away by her own family, can do magic, and talks to a strange voice in her head.
And then the fae were introduced and I loved it even more. The romance of it kind of felt rushed, but it was a short book.
The ending was something I wasn’t expecting, which is always awesome for me!
I’m glad there is a whole series (The Fate of Crowns) coming after this because I want to explore this world of fae and sorcerers more!
