WARRIOR. King Maddox Kyronan’s fire magic has earned him a ruthless reputation on the battlefield, but now his kingdom is slowly burning. Ky’s only chance to save his people is to enter a marriage alliance with the neighboring nation of Astranza, and hope that the royal family’s power to manipulate the weather will help his land flourish once more. He just needs to ensure no one finds out how the blaze began.
PRINCESS. With war looming on the horizon, Princess Jory’s home needs the protection of the fearsome warrior king, but she is hiding a dangerous secret: her family’s magic is fading. Tempting as it is to reject her duties and run away with her childhood friend, Asher, Jory knows that she is the kingdom’s last hope. When she meets her intended, Jory is surprised to discover that beneath Ky’s daunting exterior is a compassionate and sharp-witted man who sets her heart aflame. But what will he do when he realizes she's deceiving him?
ASSASSIN. Asher’s done what he must to survive, even if that means getting his hands dirty. Once a young nobleman in Astranza’s palace, where he and Jory caused mischief together, now he’s part of the Hunter’s Guild, employing much darker skills. When a lucrative job comes his way, Asher can’t say no—until he discovers the targets. Someone wants Ky and Jory dead. With the Guild watching, Asher must decide what he’s willing to do to protect the woman he loves.
A tale of three complex characters torn between chasing, betraying, and falling in love with each other, Warrior Princess Assassin marks the beginning of a thrilling new fantasy trilogy filled with enchantment, adventure, and passionate romance.
I went in expecting to love this. The start pulled me in, and I was genuinely excited to see this author step into adult fantasy. But that excitement didn’t last long. The story quickly turned into something completely different than what I signed up for, and not in a good way.
The relationship being a polyamorous one was fine. But I wished I would have known going in at the start. That being said I wouldn't have had an issue with it at all. My biggest issue with it was the Assassin ugh.
The Assassin? Absolutely not. I hated his chapters SO MUCH!!!! He’s supposed to be dangerous, intimidating, someone you fear… but instead he just came off weak and irritating. Every time his chapters popped up, I wanted to skip. And for me that killed this book dead.
This wasn’t a slow decline either. I hit a point where I just didn’t care anymore and shut it down. Hard DNF.
