A Goodreads "YA Best Book of the Month" An Amazon "Best Book of the Month: Science Fiction & Fantasy" Zera is a Heartless—the immortal, ageless soldier of a witch. Bound to the witch Nightsinger, Zera longs for freedom from the woods they hide in. With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger's control, she serves the witch unquestioningly...until Nightsinger asks Zera for a prince's heart in exchange for her own. But if Zera's discovered infiltrating the court, Nightsinger will destroy her heart, rather than see her tortured by the witch-hating nobles. Crown Prince Lucien d'Malvane hates the royal court as much as it loves him—every tutor too afraid to correct him and every girl jockeying for a place at his handsome side. No one can challenge him—until the arrival of Lady Zera. She's inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree, and out for his blood. The prince's honor has him quickly aiming for her throat. Now it’s a game of cat and mouse between a girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all. Winner takes the loser's heart. Literally. The Bring Me Their Hearts series is best enjoyed in order.

A few years ago, Zera's family was killed by bandits and she was left dying. The witch Nightsinger saved her. Instead of just using her magic to save her, she made her Heartless. With Zera's heart in a jar, NIghtsinger controls her entire life. Zera longs to be back in the world but she is unable to leave the woods that conceal them.
When Nightsinger finds out that the humans are planning another war to wipe out witches and Heartless, she decides Zera might be their only hope of preventing the war. The witches want Zera to go to court as a prospective bride for Crown Prince Lucien and steal his heart. If she steals his heart, Nightsinger will free her.
When I started this book, I felt like the ending was going to be pretty obvious. I was pleasantly surprised! There's a lot more going on in the story. Lucien's story is interesting, and I enjoyed some other characters as well. Fione's great, and I loved Malachite. I don't want to say much more or I will spoil it!
The ending left me hanging, so I will have to check out the next book to see what happens!
