Beschreibung

In hiding all her life, Layala prepares for the day the wicked High Elf King Thane will come to steal her— his powerful mate. She trains to take her revenge for the wrongful execution of her parents, who died for her freedom.
Now that day has come, forcing her to come face-to-face with what she’s hidden from: a dangerous, dark-haired, warrior king determined to marry her.
After she’s shoved into a black carriage pulled by six ominous steeds, Layala makes plans to take her captors’ lives and free herself...
...but Thane has a secret that makes it impossible for Layala to slay him. She has an even darker truth that makes loving her forbidden, no matter how much Thane wants to touch.

Dare to dive into this whimsical and deeply romantic story inspired by Hades & Persephone, The Lord of the Rings, and a sprinkle of Norse mythology. A tale that will grip you from the first page and stay with you long after the last.

I thank IG and whoever posted this series. This is a gem. For me.

It's weird that I start my posts with "I love..." or "This is great...", but how else can I convey that I am obsessed with everything about it? That I can't put the (e)book down because of the pace of the story, the characters, the adventures, the atmosphere, the plot? How else can I say that I am enthralled by Layala and Thane, and their back and forth? How else can I make you, the reader, realize that if you are like me you would also find this book amazing? Sure it has some problems, like the typos I have been seeing every now and then. But I honestly do not care enough because everything I mentioned above trumps this tiny problem. Anyways, on to the next book!

really has me struggeling with the rating here. It was good. great. I overall enjoyed this read! The word setting and story was intriguing and i quickly grew fond of the main characters Layala (who my brain refuses to call said name and instead insists to call her Layla every.damn.time. I see her name) and Thane. They were fun, they had some amazing banter. And I was rooting for them badly. We got everything I ask for in a romance. Fated mates. Possessive elves. Fighting. Feelings. And we get the one horse trope on top. All signs for a five star read, right? Yes. But. Here’s what made me omit stars: 1. The pace of this book. It shouldn’t have taken me 4 days to read those 500 pages. Yes I was busy, so hadn’t had much time to read. But I also didn’t go out of my way to make time. What I would have done for a five star read. Whilst I got quickly into the story, it also lost me a bit as quickly too. In the middle of the book it just dragged a bit and my motivation to continue got less and less. 2. the relationship between Laya and Thane, especially from Thane’s side. I hoped for a bit more enemies to lovers action. Thane was a bit too trusting for my taste. He was heads over heels for this woman too fast. You can argue now, that he sort of knew her because of this bond. But despite that, she was still a stranger. A stranger that tried to kill and poison him. A bit unrealistic given he is a king after all and has some responsibilities. That man was down to hand her his kingdom from Minute one. That is a bit too much insta love for my taste and for it to make sense, Thane. Level it down a bit and I’m on board again. But despite those two aspects, that sadly (especially the first) lessened my experience relevantly, it was still an enjoyable read! I’m super curious about the entire world and where things will go in the next books. And damn Thane yes you gave in too fast. But he was hot doing it. There’s just something about possessive mates that gets me gooooing yk? And boy that man was possessive much. And I loved every second of it. He’s hot that one. Just how we all love them. You’re gonna enjoy him very much. Excited to read book two now and see we’re those two lovebirds and their friends continue in their journey to make their world a peaceful and better place. 3.5

“Love is a powerful force. It cannot be bought. It cannot be taken or stolen. Although sometimes it must be fought for, it must be given freely.” Stars: 3.5 ⭐️ Smut: 0.5

Ein fesselnder Fantasyroman voller Magie, Intrigen und epischer Liebe. Ein Muss für Fantasy-Liebhaber!

Stell dir vor, du tauchst ein in eine Welt voller Magie, Intrigen und epischer Liebesgeschichten. Genau das bietet dir dieser Fantasyroman, der dich von der ersten Seite an packt und nicht mehr loslässt. Die Autorin versteht es meisterhaft, Spannung aufzubauen – schon der düstere Anfang mit einer Prophezeiung und einem mysteriösen Ritual zieht dich mitten ins Geschehen. Was diesen Roman besonders macht, sind die vielschichtigen Charaktere und die verzwickte Handlung, die Fans von „ACOTAR“, „Throne of Glass“ und „Fourth Wing" begeistern wird. Unsere Heldin ist eine echte Kämpfernatur, die sich ihren Weg durch Verrat und Romantik bahnt. Ihre komplizierte Beziehung zu Thane, einem geheimnisvollen und vielschichtigen Kerl, sorgt für ordentlich Herzklopfen und Drama! Und dann sind da noch die emotionalen Höhepunkte! Schnapp dir schon mal ein Taschentuch, denn der Prolog allein könnte dir die Tränen in die Augen treiben. Die Autorin spielt gekonnt mit Anspielungen auf bekannte Fantasy-Werke, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken. Das sorgt für ein vertrautes, aber trotzdem frisches Leseerlebnis. Insgesamt ist dieser Roman ein absolutes Must-Read, die epische Geschichten mit starken Charaktere, Magie und überraschenden Wendungen lieben. Die Autorin hat eine faszinierende Welt erschaffen, die man gar nicht mehr verlassen möchte.
