Synopsis: The last sanarii -

Eva, the last true sanarii, uses her forbidden magic despite the risks, not realizing she could irrevocably affect the destinies of Jullayans and Kitarrans alike. Yet caught in the machinations of the Guardians and their prophecy, can she protect those she loves from the menace of dark magic threatening not just Kitarra, but all who value goodness and light?

And her hero prince -

When Illiah learned he was not just a hero, he was also the lost prince. He came to court with one thing in mind: he sought to arm Jullayah against any further attacks from the monstrous invaders. And in a land where magic is forbidden, he has secrets to hide. But when he finds himself falling into the secrets of a woman unlike any other, he must choose to fight for her and risk everything … or lose her forever.

Review: I really enjoyed the book after I got into it some. The characters were endearing, the plot was phenomenal, and the writing was really well done. I think this is going to be an excellent series.

However, I do think that the book had some shortcomings in my opinion. The way it was told was really cool but it made me confused several times. The pov switches mid chapter threw me off and it made the book a bit more difficult to grasp. The world building and the background scenes (like what's going on in places where the focus is not there) could have been a bit more fleshed out too.

Verdict: Overall though, once you start getting into the book it's absolutely amazing.
