This book is the first of a series, but we don’t know what the series is called yet. Lyra is being traumatized by her stepbrother, Samuel, and ignored and neglected by her parents. Lyra just wants to get away and see the world to make a difference. When she finally is away from her awful family, she learns she isn’t who and what she thought she was. Now she is on a road to discovering herself but also what others are trying to do as well.
The book is one of those books that starts fast and keeps going. Lyra is has not had it easy, but she is coming into her own. Even with everything that has happened to her, she still wants to protect those who can’t do it themselves. This world is filled with magic, with Fae, Lycans, Lamia, and Sorcerers, which gives it a rich mythos. The characters throughout this book keep you guessing as you have to figure out who is friend or foe. I enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing where this book will go from here.

“Young, beautiful, and without an ounce of magic…
Lyra Lewis, a courageous eighteen-year-old princess, has lived a life of oppression under the rule of her abusive Sorcerer stepbrother and neglectful mother. She meets a mysterious man at a palace banquet—a Faery unlike any she’s ever seen before—but before she can say anything she’s taken away by a dominating Lycan king with dark intentions.
As her stepbrother stages a violent coup, the faery comes to her rescue, setting off an epic journey of self-discovery and adventure. As they navigate through fantastical realms, Lyra learns of the dark secrets of her family’s past, and the powers she may inherit on her nineteenth birthday. With the faery by her side, Lyra must confront her fears and embrace her destiny, no matter how dangerous it may be.
