Description
Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Red Queen, this is the first novel in a sweeping YA fantasy-romance duet about a deadly assassin, his mysterious apprentice, and the country they are sworn to protect from #1 NYT bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz.
Caledon Holt is the kingdom's deadliest weapon. No one alive can best him in speed, strength, or brains, which is why he's the Hearthstone Guild's most dangerous member. Cal is also the Queen's Assassin, bound to her by magic and unable to leave her service until the task she's set for him is fulfilled.
Shadow of the Honey Glade has been training all her life to join the Guild, hoping that one day she'll become an assassin as feared and revered as Cal. But Shadow's mother and aunts expect her to serve the crown as a lady of the Renovian Court.
When a surprise attack brings Shadow and Cal together, they're forced to team up as assassin and apprentice. Even though Shadow's life belongs to the court and Cal's belongs to the queen, they cannot deny their attraction to each other. But now, with war on the horizon and true love at risk, Shadow and Cal will uncover a shocking web of lies that will change their paths forever.

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.
"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!
