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!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from Net Galley.
