Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. 4.0⭐ ( ) Rovan has hidden her magic ever since her father was taken from her and her mother in order to escape that same fate. But when she wakes up massively hungover on a roof with another girl, she accidentally uses her powers to save that girl from falling to her death, and then the authorities haul her off to the palace, where she's bound to a spirit and forced to become a blood mage. As she plots her escape she struggles to know whom to trust and whom to let herself love, including two other royal blood mages and the ghost she's bound to. I loved this cool fantasy both for its plot and characters and for its fantastic LGBTQ+ representation (Rovan is pansexual, and there are lesbian, ace, and nonbinary characters as well). It's so well written that I'll definitely be looking for more of Strickland's work.

She believed him dead and strove to hide her own powers, save for using them to weave incredible tapestries for her mother to sell. When a drunken tryst on top of a roof ends with her having to use her magic to save the other girl, it lands her in the custody of the king. Her journey through the trials of becoming a sanctioned blood mage (something she resists at every turn), having an undead shade linked to her and learning about her inherited powers, are just the beginning of her wild ride, one involving romances, treachery, sneaking and lots of fighting. All in all, a terrific tale and one that will quench many a reader's thirst for a story that will keep them turning pages well into the night. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Auszeichnungen
"In Thanopolis, those precious few gifted with magic are assigned undead spirits who guard them--and closely control them. Ever since Rovan's father died trying to keep her from this fate, Rovan has hidden her magic. But when she accidentally reveals her powers to save a life, she's bound to one of the undead and thrust into a world of palace intrigue and deception. Desperate to escape, Rovan finds herself falling for two people she can't fully trust: Lydea, a beguiling, rebellious princess; and Ivrilos, the handsome spirit with the ability to control Rovan, body and soul. Together, they uncover a secret that will destroy Thanopolis. To save them all, Rovan will have to start a rebellion in both the mortal world and the underworld, and find a way to trust the princess and spirit battling for her heart--if she doesn't betray them first."--from front jacket flap.
