Synopsis: A darkly addictive romantasy debut about a girl who sacrifices everything to buy the dangerous magic that could save her sister—the first in a trilogy perfect for fans of Powerless and Throne of Glass.
On the mist-shrouded Isle of Eireann, buying magic comes with a price.
But when her beloved older sister is gravely injured, Maeve risks everything to buy the forbidden magic that might save her. In exchange, Maeve trades her life to a ruthless and dangerously alluring rebel leader. Bound to do his bidding, Maeve finds herself thrown into a deadly competition to become the next queen and stand beside a prince rumored to be more brutal than his tyrannical father.
With the isle on the brink of war, trust and survival come at a terrible cost—one that will tear Maeve’s world, and her heart, in two.

My Review:
I really wanted to love this one because the premise had so much potential. The dark island setting, forbidden magic, political intrigue, and dangerous romance all sounded like exactly my kind of romantasy. Unfortunately, the story didn’t quite pull me in the way I hoped.
The audiobook was enjoyable enough to keep me listening, and there were definitely some interesting moments, but the pacing felt uneven and I struggled to connect with the characters at times. There’s plenty here to build on, though, and I could see myself continuing the series to see where Maeve’s story goes.
