Summary of the Book:
Faerie bargains are not easily broken.
Elora has decided to stay in Faerie to help Prince Brannick become High King. With the element of surprise on their side, they only have to hide their sword training lessons until the last phase of testing.
But Brannick is ruled by a bargain that could ruin everything. Queen Alessandra is beginning to remember her history with the prince. With one word, she could force him to lose the testing and give up his freedom forever.
With a growing reputation, Elora’s anonymity in Faerie is shrinking fast. Her sisters are safe in the mortal realm, but she is desperate to help Brannick win the throne.
If he doesn’t, any number of fae could capture Elora. Or even worse… her sisters.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This is a wonderful sequel to the series. Elora and Brannick have both grown since the first book. Elora is brave and does not let anything hold her back or down. She knows she has to protect her sisters and she has decided the best things to do is help Brannick become High King instead of working against him. Brannick is less of a jerk in this one and we get to see more of him and not just his darker side.
My Rating of the Book: 4 Stars
