More than one man in Azulland has set his sight on the ultimate prize—control of the country. Nafino Zephyr, high counsel to the king of Bellux-Abry, is willing to sell his soul to get it. Denyson Folworth, heir to the throne of Qaddys, is willing to execute almost anyone who stands in his way, perhaps even his own father. After months of bloody warfare, a respite is desired by all, especially Ammey McKeaf, daughter of the country's greatest living general. Exhausted by the tribulations of the previous year, Ammey craves normalcy and peace, but she also wants to live up to expectations and fulfill her destiny. For many reasons, she is torn as a king and a famed hero-assassin vie for her heart. In a perfect world, there would be time to rest and recover, but this is not a perfect world. A dark entity has been unleashed and the lives of everyone are in mortal danger.

    SPOILERS


    I don’t think I am going to be able to finish this book. I am curious to know what happens with this land and the world that the author has put together but I simply cannot get past the fact that Ammey cares for her rapist. She also justifies some of his terrible deeds towards her. The story begins right where the previous book ends with the withdrawal of the soldiers on both sides. Rapist has agreed to peace just like that after finding out Ammey is alive. Just like that. Isn’t he a peach? Ammey is agreeing to meet with her rapist in the spring after the snow melts. He will want to marry her at that time for real. She is conflicted, she cares for him but whom should she choose? #1 Non rapist? #2 Rapist? If she chooses one she hurts the other! Oh for crying out loud, really? Hurt the one that hurt you, silly girl.

    Various brothers and friends are watching their meeting play out. The love that rapist has for Ammey is so very evident they can see it in his body language from way over here. Maybe he does love her, and why not? He wasn’t the one who was victimized.

    And I just can’t read it anymore.

    There was a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I read about the rape as it was happening in the first book, the way it was so casually tossed out there with the introduction to the event as if was nothing more than “the taking of her virginity” and then told as a flashback which clearly described a rape – she had to experience the event as if it was happening with someone else in order to get through it. She had to be drugged. She wasn't given a choice. Then if that wasn’t bad enough he becomes the third side of a love triangle. I’m not sure how any of this makes sense. The only conclusion I can come to is that this is the way Ammey is mentally trying to un-victimize herself.

    Either way, I’m done. I’m disgusted that there is even a choice to be made.

    This book was a big disappointment compared to the last one which was AMAZING this one focused too much on other characters as I like the strong female that Ammey created in the first book that was lost in this book.
