Emberfall is crumbling fast, torn between those who believe Rhen is the rightful prince and those who are eager to begin a new era under Grey, the true heir. Grey has agreed to wait two months before attacking Emberfall, and in that time, Rhen has turned away from everyone—even Harper, as she desperately tries to help him find a path to peace.

Fight the battle, save the kingdom.
Meanwhile, Lia Mara struggles to rule Syhl Shallow with a gentler hand than her mother. But after enjoying decades of peace once magic was driven out of their lands, some of her subjects are angry Lia Mara has an enchanted prince and a magical scraver by her side.

What the critics say

"Has everything you'd want in a retelling of a classic fairy tale: a finely-drawn fantasy world, a heroine rarely seen in fiction, and a tortured hero with a secret. I have only one complaint: I wish the sequel were already available!" (Jodi Picoult, New York Times best-selling author of A Spark of Light and Small Great Things, on A Curse So Dark and Lonely)

I enjoyed this book series although not as much as I thought I would.

I loved how they incorporated some aspects of PTSD, Rhen and Harper's skittish reactions to Gray's magic makes sense and would naturally be expected!

I also enjoyed the protrayal of Harper and Rhen's relationship in this book.
How even though Harper is angry and resentful of Rhen's actions does not make her love him any less. she is angry but she does not leave.
Her reflection on staying with him is true to anyone who loves someone deeply and disagrees with what they are doing so profoundly but cannot abandon them, but fights to help change them/guide them.

I am confused however on how the two countries will operate? How can the king of one country, marry the queen of another and stay seperate countries?
what about the heir?
Which kingdom will they rule? how will it be determined?!

I found the progression of events in this story to be dry, there was too much anticipation for each event and the execution of the event was bland.

I wonder if there will be enough story left to continue on the series?
I hope so only because the end left alot of questions unanswered in regard to the anti magic faction and how Rhen will grow and adapt.

I hope the next book jam packs alot of action. I feel as though these 3 books could have easily been 2. or at least needed a lot more content to be three.

cute.
