Summary of the Book:
In the seedy world of Merethia’s underbelly, not everyone with a smile is an ally.
The elven city of Merethia is a wondrous place where dreams come true–for some. From the dirty streets they tread to the darkened alleys they lay their heads, life in Merethia for Marshalla and Tip is little more than a daily fight for survival.
But in Merethia, even they dream, and Marshalla dreams for they both to share in Merethia’s wealth. It is a dream she holds dear, one she is determined to make real by any means.
There is a cost, of course, a price for every plot. They bear this without fail until the last one, until the betrayal that leaves Tip with blood on his hands and they both running for their lives.
With enemies around every corner, both Marshalla and Tip must turn to each other and what few friends they have to survive the chaos. Except, this is Merethia. Not everyone with a smile is an ally.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. The first think I noticed about this book is the cover as I held it in my hands. It feels magical. That drew me in. I enjoy the characters of Marshalla and Tip. They just want to improve their lives and that start with getting enough money to just get off the streets. This is their journey to reach that goal but hitting a lot of bumps and road blocks in the way. It is a little slow paced and I have a lot of questions, but it is the first book in a series so I have to see what comes next.
My Rating of the Book: 4 Stars
