BLURB
In this spellbinding debut fantasy, passion and peril entwine in a tale of curses, monsters, and forbidden desire. Perfect for fans of dark romance, this sweeping first installment introduces a heroine whose heart may be as dangerous as her power.
Born with the blood of a hell god in her veins, Helaina Ironblood has lived her life in secrecy, hidden from a realm already teetering on the edge of ruin. When tragedy shatters her family and the heir to the throne is lost, Helaina is cast into exile--her cursed power now a beacon to enemies who would see the world burn. Beyond the Ash Cliff Mountains, monsters stalk the land, and darker forces hunger for the weapon Helaina carries within her.
Seized by Theodon Wrenn, the feared captain of a mysterious legion, Helaina is thrust into a war that stretches far beyond her imagining. Ruthless, commanding, and bound by secrets of his own, Theodon believes she is the key to victory. Yet the more he tries to bend her to his will, the more he is drawn to her defiance--and to the dangerous fire in her blood. Unlocking her power requires the Bone Dagger, an ancient relic that binds gods, beasts, and mortals alike, but demands a price--Helaina's mortal life.
Torn between the man who would sacrifice her and the destiny she never wanted, Helaina must decide whether her curse will bring salvation ... or ruin.

Review
What a debut! From the first chapter I was all in. I only wish I had the time to read this one straight through but alas...life.... This book is paranormal but also set in a historical setting--think castles, candle light, horse and wagon travel. It is a refreshing take on the world of Gods messing with the world of men.
The story follows Helaina with present day and flashbacks to the time before. Her family believes her a curse and they hide her away her whole life. But others in this world know exactly who she is. The question is will she rise to the challenge or continue to shrink away.
Theo is the captain of the army keeping the other world beasts out. He needs Helaina and she doesn't yet know how much he will mean to her. Great world building. Loved the Troika and the other side characters.
Fair warning there is a cliff hanger! So worth it though! Looking forward to the next book. Great start for this new author!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
