A curse, dreams, revenge, and romance all packed into a wonderful book. The story is set in a world where the realm is cursed to bring nightmares alive and only magicians who serve as territory wardens can help stop these nightmares. Clementine Madigan has been raised to be the next warden for her small town, and has been working as her father’s partner to train for the position. However all that goes in flames when two magician brothers come and challenge her and her father for their position and win... leaving Clementine and her father homeless and without a position. Clementine vows revenge against these two magicians who had humiliated her and took away everything from her... and when the opportunity lands in her lap Clementine sets in motion her ultimate revenge. Clementine disguises herself as Anna Neven, a rather plan magician, and applies for the job position of being Phelan’s ( one of the young magicians who challenged her father) partner as a warden. She will discover his family secrets and use it to her advantage to make them suffer the same pain they had caused her and her family... except bigger things are at play and a larger curse awaits her. Her own family secrets will be unraveled and it doesn’t help that she is starting to fall for the sweet and caring Phelan despite being the enemy. There is also a strange knight who comes out during the nightmare battles who is bent on killing Phelan. Soon Clementine will have to decide who she sides with and what path she will take, and if revenge is what she truly desires. This was a fantastic read! The journey of Clem and Phelan was great and the whole magic system of nightmare fighting was fun and the overall curse was interesting. I really had a great time reading this and would definitely recommend it!
