This book was dark. It took me longer to get through because it was so heavy. However, I still really enjoyed this book!
My heart broke for Talia and everything she had been through. Being betrayed by someone she trusted and then being forced into a marriage.
But that marriage may have been the best thing to happen to her because she fought to live vs giving up.

Alexei has his own battles he is fighting. He has a secret that others can’t find out about or it could be the end of him. He needs a wife so that he can get out of marrying who is set for him so he weds Talia. As these two become closer they start to heal each other but others would like to see them torn apart.
While I got upset with Alexei a few times he was willing to ☠️ everyone who harmed Talia no matter the consequences.
