Their love could last for all time - unless the king’s assassins cut her life short...
Cassia
has reunited with her beloved Lio in the land of eternal night. She
longs to become an immortal Hesperine like him so they can stay together
forever. But she’s torn between their happiness and her duty to the
kingdom her human father rules. To free herself from the king, she must
convince his ambassadors to ally with the Hesperines, despite centuries
of conflict.
Lio will die if Cassia leaves him, but he won’t
force her to stay by revealing their blood bond. While they negotiate
for peace in public, he tempts her in private with the promise of
everlasting passion. But their future may end before it begins when
enemies within the embassy threaten her with a lethal spell.
- From Goodreads.
This was another very enjoyable installment in this series. Not everyone may enjoy the slow pace, but I really like how it takes its time to set each part of the plot in motion, helping us really understand the world and everything taking place in it, and I think all the plot twists and surprises are even more exciting due to the slow build up of the tension.
I loved how Lio and Cassia's relationship continued to grow and build in this book. Each problem they faced, even when it was due to their own feelings and insecurities, they found a way to work through it together and to talk through how they were feeling. I really loved reading about them together and look forward to seeing how their relationship develops in the future books.
The world-building continued to be very impressive in this book, it was very intricate and detailed, and I especially enjoyed the wonderful descriptions as we continued to learn more about the Hesperine's home and see all the magic of the land they had created for their sanctuary.
Overall, I'm continuing to really enjoy this series and I'm excited to keep reading and see what happens next and eventually see how it all wraps up! Lio and Cassia's journey is really compelling and I'm always curious to see how they face each obstacle and overcome them together.
