Description
An entire town massacred.
A woman set on revenge.
A magical ability that may be the answer.
After half-blood Samara's family is murdered, she seeks revenge on Commander Dunnberg, the knight responsible. While on her path to retaliation, she meets Andre Prier, a rogue knight in the forest of Dunlow, who agrees to train her for combat.
Years later, after Andre is murdered by Dunnberg's mercenaries, Samara returns to her hometown of Norwich and encounters Henry, a boy from her childhood. Samara discovers that Dunnberg is now the Mayor of Norwich and is forced to hide her identity. As Samara grapples with falling in love and preparing to take down the treacherous Dunnberg, she struggles to control the magical ability she was blessed with as a half-blood.
With help from a wolf-pup named Denali, and childhood friends Henry and Mary, it appears that Samara finally has everything she needs to take down Dunnberg. But, Samara begins to question her mission and wonders if killing Dunnberg will be enough. Will Samara follow through with her all-consuming plans for vengeance? Or will she fail to kill the man who destroyed her family?
Advance Praise
This is Alyssa Green's debut fantasy romance novel and was a quick read. This isn't a genre I typically pick up, but her writing talent and ability to craft an intriguing story made it worth the read. I especially enjoyed the action scenes and could clearly picture them as they happened. If you enjoy fantasy romance books, don't miss out on this one! - Nichole Heydenburg

This was a quick paced Fantasy Romance, which as Alyssa Green's debut was fantastic. We follow Samara as she grows up and seeks revenge for the death of her family. It was well written. Samara, Henry and William were all loveable characters. Samara and Henry's relationship was very insta-love feeling. But since the book is under 200 pages there was no avoiding that. I look forward to seeing what Green writes next!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a simple read and the writing had an ability to weave an engaging story that made it worthwhile. I really enjoyed the action scenes, which I could vividly imagine as they unfolded as well as the bond between Samara, William and Henry. The only downside is I would have liked to see more magic use from the characters. Aside from that I highly recommend it for fans of fantasy romance novels.

I was a little bit sceptical going into this book because I’ve never read from this author before but I really should’ve been I thoroughly enjoyed this book sat and read it in one evening I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable I love the progression and the character growth the romance was sweet and on point but was not the main aim of the book I loved the talk on revenge and retribution and that the female main character had a growing period where she learned how to fight I would read more from this author in future
