“A true king lives not for himself, but his people, sacrificing his own life to protect them.”
“Despite what you might think, I’m not some damsel in distress, oh mighty king of darkness.”
“Everyone has secrets buried in their souls. Some of us hide them better than others, waiting for the day another soul comes along, curious to know more.”


I read Death Cap earlier this year, enjoyed it, and wished to learn more about the characters. This short novella was the perfect answer to my wishes. I loved learning more about Morel and Hesper.

The world building and character development were, once again, so well written. Loved how strong Hesper was as a character. She truly didn’t need anyone to save her. Loved the relationship development and dynamic between her and Morel.



I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
