Description
In Ellas, strength is everything—but magic has long been out of reach.
Aziza of Clan Ares has spent her life proving she belongs among the greatest warriors of her people. Raised to believe the other clans are weak and that loyalty to Ares must come above all, she has never questioned the traditions that shaped her. But when the king arrives and announces a shocking betrothal meant to unite all of Ellas, Aziza suddenly finds herself in a world of politics, secrets, and expectations that have nothing to do with the battlefield.
King Stefanos has ruled Ellas for thirteen years under the shadow of a prophecy: that a war will rise from his land and destroy the world unless magic Awakens soon among his people. Determined to prevent that fate, he has spent years searching for a woman whose bloodline, when combined with his, might bring this long-sought gift. When every sign points to Aziza, the fiercest warrior in the kingdom, he gambles everything on a union meant to bring magic to Ellas in the next generation.
But the clans of Ellas were built on ancient divisions, and not everyone welcomes Stefanos’s plans for their future. As danger creeps ever closer to the throne, Aziza must decide whether the traditions that defined her are worth defending—or whether true strength demands she embrace a truth that calls everything she believed into question. For the future Stefanos has spent his reign fighting for may be Ellas’s only hope of salvation…or the spark that ignites the very war he was warned to prevent.

Margaret Nelson –
This is the third book in Roseanna White’s romantasy (romantic fantasy) series, following Awakened and Aflame. You definitely want to read this series in order, including the novellas, to understand everything and everyone involved in this book.The “continent” featured in this one is Ellis– a land with four separate clans and NO magic. The king, Stephanos, is desparate to get magic for his country and add to their strength.
Again, there are lots of new characters to get acquainted with, along with more ancient history for the entire fantasy world. I was sucked into the story right away, and at every plot twist, I wondered how in the world White was going to get the good characters out of that particular trouble caused by the bad characters! It was a very satisfying read, and I can’t wait to read the final book in the series!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
