“…I can be something else. A person of my own…”
With a simple touch, Selestra can tell when someone is going to die. Trapped in a tower, waiting to take her mother’s place at the king’s side, Selestra longs for real connection and freedom from the cruelty of the castle.
Nox is a soldier, daring to join in on the Festival of Predictions, risking his own soul in order to attempt to steal the king’s immortality and destroy the court—and Selestra is the first target.
But when Selestra touches Nox, she sees their entwined futures, and now they must work together to escape their dark fate.
I was hooked into the premise from the first chapter. The banter between Nox and Selestra was delightful. Having their friends Micah and Irenya along on the adventure really rounded out the tale. This magical world was full of beautiful details, with interesting diversity as they traveled the isles.
