BOOK FOUR IN THE FIVE CROWNS OF OKRITH SERIES Neelo Emberspear, heir to the throne and realm, would never leave the library if they could help it. They certainly never asked for a kingdom or a husband to rule it with. But when their mother, the troubled queen, disastrously lights the castle on fire Neelo knows duty can be put off no longer. No matter how charming everyone else finds fae warrior Talhan Catullus, this is not what Neelo chose. Fighting to save their mother's life and throne, Neelo is astonished when the written word brings them closer than ever to their cavalier new fiancé. But a dark force is rising, which not only threatens their love, but the entire continent.

I've received an e-arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Oh my goodness, this series keeps getting better from book to book. Each time I think, huh tough to top that and I'm wrong. I love books that make me love love, and get a little heartsick in the process. What is pleasure but pain and vice versa.
This book follows Neelo (They/Them) the Heir to the Southern Court as they work together with Talhan (He/Him) to uncover the mystery of the Violet Witches return, and stop a drug from killing/controlling their people. The slow burn romance in this one almost killed me. I fell in love with Talhan promptly, and really resonated with Neelo in this book. A shy bookworm, who doesn't think they are ready or worthy for the things they want, and the journey to find that hidden strength they've always had. The only thing I wanted from this book is Talhan's point of view, I was practically raving for it. Like I said, I fell in love with him, and just needed a touch more of him, and his point of view.
This book contains friends to lovers, mysteries, poly relationships, found family, LGBTQIA + characters, touch them you'll die, sunshine/grumpy, and some really good smut. Can't wait to read the next one to see how this one could be topped!
