This is the first book in the Seven Realms series.
Summary:
In the northern mountains of the Seven Realms, in the city of Fellsmarch, reformed thief Han Alister tries to make an honest living for him and his family.
In the castle of the same city, the princess heir Raisa ana'Marianna, is nearly sixteen. This means she can now marry, and although she has plenty of suitors, she has no plans to marry any time soon.
But the wizards power are growing... and as ancient rules are being broken, Han and Raisa cross paths, both fighting for what they believe in.
Review:
I loved this book. It was such an exciting read, and although it's very easy to follow, there is no lack in world building and character development. I absolutely loved the world it's set in and I cannot wait to read on and explore the rest of it.
We get to read from both Raisa and Han's perspective, and I felt it was equally enjoyable. Sometimes, with dual perspectives, you connect more with one than the other, but that wasn't the case here. I also really like the side characters in this book, as I felt they were very clear.
I also really like reading about the different people; the clan and the wizards, and their power struggle. I can see that becoming a really interesting part of the next books.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy and magic.
