Book Description from Goodreads:
From internationally bestselling author K.A. Tucker comes the third novel in her Fate and Flame series, an adult fantasy novel that should be read in series order.
“You betrayed your brother to steal a broken crown.”
The kingdom stands on the brink of chaos. Atticus’ grip on the realm is faltering, and as threats arise ever closer to home he is driven to increasingly desperate acts to hold onto power.
With Islor’s fate now in the balance, Zander stands to defend the Rift from the oncoming Ybarisan army. With the king’s forces scattered, he must risk unlikely new alliances.
And behind the walls of Ulysede, secrets wait for its new queen. Romeria knows that the paths of the hidden city will lead her to answers. But will they be enough to save the realm – or is their fate already sealed?
Review (5 Stars):
TW: Description of violence/murder/light gore/noncon sex
No surprise here, but I continue to absolutely LOVE and DEVOUR this series!
This book definitely hit the ground running – so I will say that not only do these books need to be read in series order, but also that if it’s been a while since you’ve read the previous books you may want to either consider a re-read or have a quick synopsis/recap handy!
I had a tiny bit of trouble really getting into the groove at the beginning of this book because I was having to remind myself what had been happening, but once I caught back up the pace was running from the word go, and honestly didn’t stop until the final page. And honestly returning to this world and it’s characters truly felt like coming home.
Overall I would definitely recommend this book to my friends, and have already done so frequently, but only if they are looking for a series! It’s worth saying again that these books absolutely need to be read and enjoyed in series order. I think that the best way to read this book would be curled up under a blanket during a big rain storm, listening to the rain on the windows, and with maybe a bottle of red wine.
Let the countdown to Summer 2024 begin for book 4!
