The Prince's Poisoned Vow by Hailey Turner

But since Soren saved Vanya from an assassination attempt and a bunch of revenants, their paths have intersected. Soren & Vanya are Warden & Imperial Prince, such different stations in life and attitudes towards it. I can't decide atm if I want to yeet her off the face of Maricol or cheer her all the way to the Throne she's supposed to inherit 😂īoth of the MM pairings though, oh they are wonderous. I love the morally grey characters of fantasy romance because they make you think.Įimarille Rourke is a wonderfully crafted character, she's strong willed, clear of mind, determined and totally in love with her Blade (a kind of bodyguard assassin spy type) Terilyn. However, the FF pairing are both intriguing and also giving me all kinds of mixed feels because our main protagonist in the doing of dodgy deeds is one of them. This isn't just an MM romance either, there are two male pairings and OMG I adore them both, but we also have an FF couple and a potential MF pairing, and each set of characters is so beautifully suited that it's difficult to pick favourites. There's a fabulously complex world being built in each of these chapters and you very quickly get a sense of each of the individual countries and the Star Gods which influence them and the lives of all their inhabitants. Each character who will have a significant role to play throughout the saga is introduced in their own clearly labelled chapter in a Prologue which sets up the series. Guided by a star god, Eimarille bides her time in a gilded cage, spinning a political web to gain a throne and start a war the world isn’t ready for.įrom the author who brought you the Soulbound series comes a queer steampunk-inspired epic fantasy.Īs a series opener, it gives a lot of important information but you're not bombarded with it. Eimarille Rourke should have been raised to be queen of one country instead, she is prisoner of another. That skill for inventing has enriched her bloodline, but it’s who she can become that will ultimately entangle her with the Clockwork Brigade. Caris Dhemlan hears the siren song of clarion crystals better than anyone in Ashion. Payment of any kind is costly, especially when he’s at risk of losing his heart to the man who saved his life. He has a duty to his country, but he’ll owe his life to the wardens. Vanya Sa’Liandel was the spare who survived the Houses’ murderous games to become the Imperial crown prince of Solaria. His past was buried in the poison fields, but after a fateful encounter with a prince, Soren comes to realize he can’t keep what magic burns inside him hidden forever. He isn’t meant for politics, only dealing with the dead. Soren is a nameless, stateless man, tasked with keeping watch over Maricol’s borders.
