Synopsis: Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate. Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed. The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details... Now with an embossed cover, silver foiling, and an updated interior design.
Pro:
Ummm... what?
Con:
I don't know how to express how much I disliked this book. Honestly, I think I'm the one reader in the world who didn't like this book because this is a top-rated book on every book site, and I cannot figure out how. The constant twists and turns not only gave me whip lash, but it was like the author smashed every troupe of fantasy books and slathered them onto the pages. This whole storyline was complete nonsense and couldn't keep up with it. First, they hate each other, then Fisher is off saving her at every turn, then they hate each other, then they're having sex, then that can't stand each other ... then they're
(SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT ON!!!)
fae-vampires, on top of vampires already being the enemy ... THEN MATES.... then she's a queen and he's the king ...
It's not worth the read! There are better stories out there than this.... trust me
