This book is perfect for lovers of any of Sarah J Maas’ work, especially the Throne of Glass Series.
Following the story of Lou, a Dame Blache, who is running from her previous life and trying to make a way in a world where witches burn. She senses trouble when witches make a move to attack the King in a public setting and she needs to hide. But not before bumping into the Archbishops military force against all types of magical creatures because they are considered unnatural. Where we meet Reid, the Archbishops golden boy and captain of the Chasseurs, who thinks nothing of her running from the scene in the square. Until their paths meet again at a political figures’ house during a robbery and he’s taken aback by her ability to narrowly escape. When they serendipitously bump into each other for a third time, a public scene is made, and the Archbishop forces them (a witch and a witch hunter) into marriage. Having to hide who she is from her husband, the entire world, all while trying to remain hidden from people in her past. Lou is forced to make certain decisions and friends, while narrowly escaping her fate at the hands of her mother.
What I just wrote doesn’t even begin to explain the plot of this book. There are so many twists and turns that any more descriptions would be absolute spoilers. This is the classic enemies to lovers trope that we all love with a dash of magic and religious undertones. At around 200 pages away from the end, I made the decision to stay up until 6am to finish it. It was that good! Mahurin’s writing style, mixed with the way the plot develops, makes the reader never want to put down the book. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next two books in the series, and I’m eager to discover what else she writes in the future!
