This is my first book from author JM Miller, and I was seriously impressed. I received an Audible book to review, and I can’t tell you just how impressed I was with this story!
I was able to listen to this book while I was driving out of town so I had plenty of opportunity to listen nonstop. This story just covers so many bases. The main character is different from everybody else in her land because when she was born she was “cursed” by fire and has rough dark skin that only comes off in water and touching her will burn anyone else. She has been friends with the prince, Caulden, since they were kids and now is how lead guard.
After a horrible incident during Princes Night where Caulden was nearly killed, she gets into trouble with the queen for entering the sacred place where she’s been told she’s not allowed to go. Even if she saved hee son’s life. She gets demoted to a lesser guard on his security team, but she keeps thinking about the man she saw in the water that looked just like her.
The queen and princess from another larger country are visiting in order to see if the prince will be a good match for the princes… and thus starts the intrigue, action, and betrayal.
This audiobook was so amazing and the narrator did an absolutely fabulous job keeping me focused on the book.
I just started book 2, and I already know it’s going to be just as great!!
I recieved an ALC for my honest review.
