A fallen Empire. A forbidden royal romance. An ancient treaty with the Fae.
In a world tainted by greed and rebellion, death prowls the shadows of the once glorious Sun Empire, waiting to devour those who dare fight back.
Corvus, heir to the most powerful House, is a threat to the Emperor, despite being the dearest friend of Crown Princess Saphyr. When the Emperor forbids their friendship, Corvus forms an Alliance to overthrow him, until betrayal forces Corvus into exile.
After the lethal Queen of the Sirens emerges from the secret realm of Sirenibus, Corvus is tempted by an irresistible deal at a dangerous price. Caught up in a conspiracy and a war between light and darkness, can he and Saphyr save the people from a terrible destiny and restore the Empire to its former glory? Or will Corvus have to sacrifice more than he is willing to give? Will his life be enough, or will it also demand his soul?

My Review
I absolutely hate writing negative reviews. Especially when it’s a NetGalley read. But, thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this book early.
I’m dnfing at about 25%. The idea of this book is fantastic. A forbidden romance? Yes, please. Unfortunately, at this point, it seems like it’s not really forbidden. Just that Saphyr’s father wants to marry her to some old man that has more money than Corvus.
The plot was going way too fast. There’s not much worldbuilding so it’s kind of confusing as to what exactly is going on. The book starts off with a coup and you don’t really even know exactly why there’s a coup going on.
The characters also have no personality. I didn’t like a single one of them.
I really wanted to like this book. I mean, look at that amazing cover. It’s so freaking pretty.
