#BookReview: The Dead of Winter by @AriettaCharles

Synopsis: Can someone exist only to seek revenge?

Denya Augustine was left orphaned and alone on the streets of Vondar’s capital as a child after her brother was hanged for stealing from the royal kitchens. The king sought to make her brother an example. She’s spent every moment since plotting how to take as much from the king as he took from her. Her answer? She becomes the Ghost of Vondar. She and her underground network don’t just help the people. As the Ghost of Vondar, she foils the king’s plans and influences politics, through blackmail, theft, and murder, against the king’s most ardent and wealthy supporters.

Denya takes a reckless opportunity to break into a vault where the crown keeps dark objects and its deepest secrets, despite her gut telling her something is wrong. She soon discovers she’s not the only one plotting and scheming from the shadows and quickly learns what it is to confront a faceless phantom out to stop you.

It becomes a race to unmask a hooded figure before they do the same to her. The future of Vondar depends on it. She’ll risk everything to keep the promise she made as she watched her brother swing from the king’s gallows. She’ll protect the people and have her revenge even if it means leaving the darkness for the light.

My Review:  This was an interesting story to say the least.  I loved the entire plot and characters and thought the world building was spot on.  I do wish that the cover would have been more eye catching as it looks a tad off but the story inside is worth the read.  

Arietta Charles

Arietta Charles is a fantasy author because she found out too late she couldn’t become a fire-breathing dragon, notorious witch, or kingdom-saving princess. She consoles herself by writing adventures about them instead. When she’s not writing or reading, she can be found indulging in her love of learning other languages, making miniatures, and taking (mostly bookish) photos.
