Summary of the Book:
Selah has waited her whole life for a happily ever after. As the only daughter of the leader of Potomac, she knows her duty is to find the perfect match, a partner who will help secure the future of her people. Now that day has finally come.
But after an excruciatingly public rejection from her closest childhood friend, Selah’s stepmother suggests an unthinkable solution: Selah must set sail across the Atlantic, where a series of potential suitors awaits—and if she doesn’t come home engaged, she shouldn’t come home at all.
From English castle gardens to the fjords of Norge, and under the eye of the dreaded Imperiya Yotne, Selah’s quest will be the journey of a lifetime. But her stepmother’s schemes aren’t the only secrets hiding belowdecks…and the stakes of her voyage may be higher than any happy ending.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. Selah is the only child of the ruler. She needs to find the perfect match and she thinks that she got the perfect person only for the person to reject her. Now her stepmother is sending her away to meet suitors for possible matches. The books focuses on the first couple of stops on her journey. I am still not very sure about the stepmother yet. There are still some questions I have but I am sure there is more to come.
My Rating of the Book: 4 Stars
