My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summary from GoodReads

No one can save her.

In order to protect Prince Lucien d’Malvane’s heart, Zera had to betray him. Now, he hates the sight of her. Trapped in Cavanos as a prisoner of the king, she awaits the inevitable moment her witch severs their magical connection and finally ends her life.

But fate isn't ready to give her up just yet.

With freedom coming from the most unlikely of sources, Zera is given a second chance at life as a Heartless. But it comes with a terrible price. As the king mobilizes his army to march against the witches, Zera must tame an elusive and deadly valkerax trapped in the tunnels underneath the city if she wants to regain her humanity.

Winning over a bloodthirsty valkerax? Hard. Winning back her friends before war breaks out? A little harder.

But a Heartless winning back Prince Lucien’s heart?

The hardest thing she’s ever done.

REVIEW

I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. 

To be honest with the fellow readers and blog followers, I jumped into the sequel without having re-read the first book. I knew that there had been a cliffhanger and that Zera had difficult choices to make.

So I was very surprised when the plot unraveled on a whole different level than the one I had expected. And that's good! Because I thought, mistakenly, that this was going to be a predictable sequel.

But nooooo.

I got political intrigue, magic creatures, lost lore and myth and a new witch hell-bent on 'saving' everyone...at the cost of her own humanity.

Zera in this book is mostly trying to keep her nonheart safe (as the real one is kept in a bag all Davey Jones style) from the emotional turmoil of losing Lucien's trust while also trying to make deals with her new 'allies' as war is on the horizon. Now at some points, the plot felt too slow while in other chapters there was so much action I kept reading quickly, trying to catch up with the plot unraveling before me.

The final revelations are amazing and stunning and left me reeling with the need for the third book! Because you can't just end all this mayhem and emotional rollercoaster with a cliffhanger!

This is a really good sequel to the first book and if you liked Zera then you'll enjoy her in this one too!

And don't miss the first book of the series!
