I absolutely loved how she was persistent enough to take the reins on some of the kingdom ruling while Brishen was away and I became obsessed with how she suddenly turned into one hell of a boss lady! This novel is the prime example of a woman taking the situation into her own hands even though she's being shaded for it. Women empowerment - Ooft, what a strong woman Ildiko is. This novel was really unique when identifying the physical and emotional differences between Ildiko's people (humans) and Brishen's people (Kai). It very much reminded me of Fae society, the whole banishment and hatred towards humans. As the reader, you experience humour as well as sympathy and all the other emotions that go into a book.įantastic acknowledgement of the Kai Kingdom - Another favourite was the description of the kingdom and it's people.
Humorous and playful story line - Can I just talk about the amount of times I caught myself laughing out loud at this book. Both characters experienced a whole heap of doo doo but I loved how the story was able to showcase how they got over their hardships. Two people brought together by the trappings of duty and politics will discover they are destined for each other, even as the powers of a hostile kingdom scheme to tear them apart.Main characters - To be honest I was always obsessed with Brishen and Ildiko, their chemistry was on fire and their personalities were so well matched. Her son Brishen, younger prince of the Kai royal house, suddenly finds himself ruler of a kingdom blighted by a diseased darkness. In a bid for more power, the Shadow Queen of Haradis unleashes a malignant force into the world. Bound to her new husband, Ildiko will leave behind all she's known to embrace a man shrouded in darkness but with a soul forged by light. The sequel to RADIANCE and Book 2 in the Wraith Kings series. Resigned to her fate, she is horrified to learn that her intended groom isn't just a foreign aristocrat but the younger prince of a people neither familiar nor human. Ildiko, niece of the Gauri king, has always known her only worth to the royal family lay in a strategic marriage. Always a dutiful son, Brishen agrees to the marriage and discovers his bride is as ugly as he expected and more beautiful than he could have imagined. A trade and political alliance between the human kingdom of Gaur and the Kai kingdom of Bast-Haradis requires that he marry a Gauri woman to seal the treaty. Brishen Khaskem, prince of the Kai, has lived content as the nonessential spare heir to a throne secured many times over.
