About the book

Caledon Holt is the Kingdom of Renovia's deadliest weapon. No one alive can best him in brawn or brains, which is why he's the Guild's most dangerous member and the Queen's one and only assassin. He's also bound to the Queen by an impossible vow - to find the missing Delan Scrolls, the fount of all magical history and knowledge, stolen years ago by a nefarious sect called the Aphrasians.

Shadow has been training all her life to follow in the footsteps of her mother and aunts - to become skilled enough to join the ranks of the Guild. Though magic has been forbidden since the Aphrasian uprising, Shadow has been learning to control her powers in secret, hoping that one day she'll become an assassin as feared as Caledon Holt.

When a surprise attack brings Shadow and Cal together, they're forced to team up as assassin and apprentice to hunt down a new sinister threat to Renovia. But as Cal and shadow grow closer, they'll uncover a shocking web of lies and secrets that may destroy everything hold dear. With war on the horizon and true love at risk, they'll stop at nothing to protect each other and their kingdom in this stunning first novel in the Queen's Secret series.

Smooth Story
I guess I expected more drama and more secrets. I also was not so surprised about the plots. Everything was possible to divine… so no wow moments. We have a nice Slow-burn romance but I would not say that it touches my heart. It is lovely but when I think of other heartbreaking stories then we are far away from it. There is a sequel but I am not planning to read it.

3.5 stars For the first like 150 pages I really wasn't too intrigued, almost wanted to dnf the book but then it really picked up and I started to get more invested in the story and what happens to the characters and I'm actually looking forward to reading the second book when it comes out now.

"I'll never understand that. Why can't people be satisfied with peace?" First of all: Look at that gorgeous cover! That's what first drew me to this book and let me tell you: It's not just pretty on the outside! The story was amazing! I don't want to give away too much but I really liked it. While the revelation at the end was pretty obvious for me from page one and the path to it was pretty painful to watch, I still enjoyed this ride immensely. I'm really looking forward to the next installment! I need to know more!
