Archangel's Storm by Nalini Singh
4.0
4 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once, he'd used it in song, but the songs in his heart had gone silent long ago, and he knew that one day so would his voice. A man with nothing inside him eventually had nothing to say.
Archangel's Storm finally brings us to the story of the character that was always cloaked in mystery, Raphael's Spymaster, Jason.
And the mysterious characters with a dark past are always the ones I find the most intriguing. Needless to say Jason's backstory absolutely wrecked me.
Jason is tasked to investigate the murder of the Archangel of India's consort and to earn the trust of the devastated Archangel in hunting the murderer, he must take a blood vow of one of her own bloodline and so he ties himself to the Princess Mahiya.
In a Court of vipers and snakes, danger lurks in every corner but what Jason expects the least is to have his once frozen heart beat for a Princess whose inner strength and kindness settled the raging storm beneath the quiet exterior.
I've been looking forward Jason's book since forever but it's Mahiya who was a pleasant surprise.
She had an incredible inter strength, kindness, and such a vivacious spirit that I couldn't help but adore her (I don't blame Jason for folding so fast for her). She has no interest in power or court politics, all she hopes is to attain her freedom and live a happy life and while some might thing that is such a simple wish, it's one that is almost hard to make true in such a dark world.
One of my favorite elements of Nalini's writing is she makes it clear when there is a power imbalance, but she makes the couple treat each other as equals. That's what I appreciate about Jason and his relationship with Mahiya, he did not see a weak Princess with unrealistic dreams, but a dreamer who persevered among monsters.
The tenderness and love between them just sparked so beautifully and it healed some of the broken parts in them.
Mahiya found her happily ever after with Jason, and in return she became the song of Jason's heart.
While I devoured this book my only complaint is the book felt a bit slow so that explains the 4-star.
Content warning: violence, implied sexual assault, PTSD, brutal deaths, and adult themes.
