Sophia has blessed us with a captivating storyline and world, two morally grey MMCs 😍, and a strong FMC who doesn't back down. Can it get any better? While this one started out a little slow for me, Sophia kept me interested enough to keep going and I'm so glad I did. 

"I'm not the begging type, Lessia. But if you need me to, I'll get on my knees. I'm already risking everything. I don't mind throwing my pride into the ring as well." 

Locked into a blood oath with a vile king, banished to the human isle, and being half-fae/ half-human, Lessia doesn't let it keep her down. She wants to make a better life for those like her so that they can have a sense of belonging. When the king makes a demand for Lessia to join the local election for Regent, she nominates herself and is accompanied by her secretive, grumpy, morally grey fae guard Merrick. Unable to escape the blood oath, Lessia has to battle the trials and tribulations of the election process while keeping her true purpose hidden from the other nominees. When things at the castle start getting a little murderous, she isn't sure who she can trust. Merrick? Sworn to the king. The current Regent, Loche? Extremely secretive and clearly hiding something big. We get to follow along with Lessia as she faces her fears, and new found feelings for Loche. Will Loche find out the truth of who she really is?
