Summary of the Book:
Nonmagical people are being demonized and falsely blamed for Magnifico’s economic problems after Queen Vivian’s bloody rise to power. But politics very quickly becomes more than abstract views to argue when secret police wolves are deployed throughout the country to kill those born without magical abilities.
Seventeen-year-old Maximillian’s best friend Katherine is one such nonmagical person. In a bid to keep her safe, Maximillian turns to the queen’s estranged younger brother, a man thought to be dead until recently.
Prince Stefan is nineteen years old and has been in hiding from his family for years. He has no desire to resurface in the political world, but Maximillian must convince him that the country needs him before it is too late.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I wanted to read this book because the concept throw me for a loop when I first saw the description. It was the magical people going after the non-magical people. I was not sure why they were so much of a threat but I did enjoy the world creation and the uniqueness of the characters. I want to see what else could happen in this world. There is a few more things I want to say about this book but that would give away more of the good parts.
My Rating of the Book: 4 1/2 Stars
