The premise of this book is quite interesting and even at the end of the first book, I have so many questions!

The dynamic between Tessa and Corrick is addictive. Tessa is a strong FMC who has an affinity for research and apothecary skills. Corrick is a multi-layered prince who has multiple masks he must wear to keep his brother safe and uphold his reputation as King’s Justice. 

The high-stakes politics and corruption from the councillors keeps the reader guessing about what will happen next.
