Book Description

When twin heirs are born in Tourin, their fates are decided at a young age. While Izaveta remained at court to learn the skills she’d need as the future queen, Asya was taken away to train with her aunt, the mysterious Firebird, who ensured magic remained balanced in the realm.

But before Asya’s training is completed, the ancient power blooms inside her, which can mean only one thing: the queen is dead, and a new ruler must be crowned.

As the princesses come to understand everything their roles entail, they’ll discover who they can trust, who they can love--and who killed their mother.

My Thoughts

When I was asked to read this book I was immediately interested by the description. It talked of magic, mystery, and murder. All the things I love in a good book. What I did not expect was just how good it was going to be. 

Twin sisters separated early in life raised completely different yet bound by their love. 

When the Queen dies Izaveta is next to be crowned. However dark forces are at play and when her twin sister arrives newly inducted as the Feathered Flame strange things happen. Can they survive and be sisters again or well one betrays the other.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. It had so many twist and turns that just when I thought I figured things out it took another turn. I was so captivated by it.

I loved the complexity of the characters. The struggle the sisters faced and how they overcame their things they were raised to believe. If you love a good book with a complex and twisting storyline this is the book to read. I absolutely loved it.
