A Maiden…

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

A Duty…

The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.

A Kingdom…

Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel

Opinion:

Where can I start? I was so excited when I received the ARC, I started reading it as soon as it showed up in my Kindle. The first pages, maybe the first 5% of the book I wasn´t understanding like what was happening, but is a new world and always takes time to get into the book. So I keep reading and I got into de lecture. And after that, I didn't put the book away until I finish it.

The characters, OMG they are so incredibly, Poppy, she is a really strong character, she has a little bit of Alex Andros, with maybe Ivy and Calla. Then, Hawke, oh boy, for years, Daemon Black was my #1 book boyfriend, but now Hawke is in that place. He is so perfect, and even though he does some stuff that you say: really??? he is a unique, strong, steamy, and funny character.

It´s a book of 622 pages and I read it in hours. Once you get in the story it´s a really easy and fluent lecture. Also, this book is so amazing that I felt like I was reading my favorite book for the first time.

This book totally deserves 5/5
