BLURB

“I defy the stars.”

In a world where no entities exist but the Stars, cruel and merciless gods that watch over the world, Elara has been cursed by fate. A prophecy that promises she will fall for a Star, and it will kill them both.

But when one descends to wreak havoc on Elara’s Kingdom, she is forced to flee into the arms of her enemy in the neighbouring country.

As she learns more about her own magic, and the depth of the Stars’ deceit, she also finds herself learning more about the country she is forced to take refuge in, and the enemy prince forced to train her into a weapon.

Something dark brews within her, a power made of night and shadows that begs to be broken free.

I heard so much about this book, so was excited to read!

Elara has lost everything, her parents and her kingdom, escaping from a horrible star who has wreaked havoc because of a prophecy. She is ‘captured’ by an enemy Kingdom who need her to help get rid of the stars and she starts training with Prince Lorenzo, aka Enzo.

I really liked Elara and Enzo together. They are completely honest with each other from the start, and I was here for that! Enzo cannot help but flirt with anyone, but he soon gets serious about Elara! I absolutely loved them and their romance.

I really did love the side characters, especially Leo and Merissa but the pacing did feel a bit all over the place in some parts and I did feel like the story could’ve been cut down a bit.

I did love the ending and can’t wait to see some vendetta’s unleashed in book 2!!!
