Sera and Galina are ready to take down the Empress and the rest of the ruling class after years first of being used as pawns in their mother's schemes and then on the run using political intrigue.

I really love fantasy inspired by revolutionary/imperial Russia. I thought the magic system where the ruling class gains magic by trapping gods within their bodies was really unique, and I really loved the romantic plot lines. I really look forward to reading the sequel.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
