Synopsis: In the tropical kingdom of Rhodaire, magical, elemental Crows are part of every aspect of life...until the Illucian empire invades, destroying everything.

That terrible night has thrown Princess Anthia into a deep depression. Her sister Caliza is busy running the kingdom after their mother's death, but all Thia can do is think of all she has lost.

But when Caliza is forced to agree to a marriage between Thia and the crown prince of Illucia, Thia is finally spurred into action. And after stumbling upon a hidden Crow egg in the rubble of a rookery, she and her sister devise a dangerous plan to hatch the egg in secret and get back what was taken from them.

Review: I LOVED this book! It was action and adventure and all the things I want in a book. The sister relationship was amazing and not cliché or written weak. The character development, and inclusion of mental illness, was excellent and the writing was immaculate. I also loved how detailed the world building was, but it didn’t make the book heavy at all. I’m SO HAPPY with this book!

My only complaint is that I didn’t think the main character needed a love interest and I think it somewhat makes her character a bit weaker, but I enjoyed him more as the book went on.

Verdict: A must read!
