BLURB

Lia is the princess of Locris, a dying desert nation cursed centuries ago by an earth goddess—one still worshipped by the thriving and adversarial nation of Ilion. Every year, Ilion offers the goddess a sacrifice: two Locrian maidens forced to compete in a life-and-death race to reach her temple. In a millennium, no maiden has made it out of Ilion alive. This year, Lia is one of the hunted.

An education in battle gives her a fighting chance, but the challenges are greater than she feared: Lia’s beloved but untrained sister Quynh has been put in the path of danger. The winding streets of Ilion itself have been transformed into a labyrinthine maze of countless choices and dead ends. And if the risks weren’t significant enough, Lia is reluctantly drawn to the commandingly attractive Jason, an Ilionian sailor she loathes to trust and desires like no man before.

The tribute game is on. It’s up to Lia to lift the goddess’s curse, restore Locris to its former glory, and change the fate of every young woman destined to follow in her path.

‘And as soon as I saw his face, my heart whispered, Oh there you are, I’ve been waiting for you.’

Obsessed. I was actually obsessed with this book! I was doing a readaong with set chapters each day, but that went out the window, and I gorged it!!!!

Lia is a Princess of a dying land and to save it, her parents have betrothed her to a Prince from another Kingdom….but Lia gives herself a mission to find a God relic and save her land herself instead (girl power!)

Before she leaves to face the enemy, she meets Jason, who is 1st mate on the ship she’ll be travelling on, and he becomes an intricate part of the story!

This book held so much:
Sisterhood (by blood and found)
Fierce, determined women
Fabulous chemistry
A lot of kissing. A lot!
Brilliant world building
And a scene featuring a goose that made me laugh out loud!

I had 2 theories reading this…one has come to pass, and the other I’m wondering if it will come out in the next book. I need that next book, so I’m off to preorder!
