“Lyra and Roark’s tension between each other is so good that I can’t wait for one of them to say ‘fuck it”
I don’t know about you, but I need you to drop everything and start reading this book ASAP. I need y’all to share my pain and suffering after I finished this amazing fantasy book. Because the stress that I feel after that cliffhanger is unbearable. I need the next book in the series ASAP, literally. Let’s start in the beginning.
Lyra has always hidden her true identity. It’s never good to catch the attention of a magic-obsessed king of Stonegate. Unfortunately, Lyra's identity becomes compromised, and she becomes the next melder of Stonegate. It doesn’t help that Lyra has to deal with Roark, the prince’s silent guard. Roark may be broody and silent, but there is definitely more than meets the eye, especially when Lyra and Roark constantly argue with each other. As Lyra spends more time in Stonegate, she discovers that something awful is happening. Lyra doesn’t have many allies, but she trusts that she can trust Roark about her intuition.
I don’t care what you say, but enemies to lovers always hit when it’s written in a fantasy book. It just gives the character so much more than their mission. Lyra and Roark’s tension between each other is so good that I can’t wait for one of them to say ‘fuck it.’ It’s the best part when the enemies do become lovers. And Lyra and Roark becoming more is so bittersweet. Why? Because there is a big secret that both of them are hiding. I won’t say anything more; just expect pain toward the end. Endless pain until we get the second book.
