DEBUT In a carefully orchestrated political move by her brother Dominik, Vaasa Kozár has just married Reid of Mireh. But on their wedding night, Vaasa deceives Reid and flees, driven by her quest to unravel the mystery behind a curse she’s carried since discovering her mother’s lifeless body. Reid eventually finds Vaasa and, rather than seeking revenge, presents her with an irresistible proposition—a chance to perfect her curse and reclaim her freedom. The catch? She must agree to spend three years with him, feigning a genuine marriage while he campaigns for greater power. However, Reid proves to be far from the monstrous figure he’s rumored to be. As Vaasa grows closer to him, she begins to appreciate their evolving partnership. She also uncovers more about her past and its connection to Reid’s realm, all while facing mounting threats from unexpected sources and a sinister creature, on the eve of Reid’s pivotal election.
VERDICT With intricate worldbuilding and a unique magic system, Robinson draws readers in and delivers a compelling debut that will captivate fans of Nicola Tyche’s North Queen.
