WARNING: This review contains spoilers from the first book in the series. 
 Lia has finally arrived at Venda, but now she's more at danger than ever. The Konomizar, the ruler of Venda, has decided that she may be of value and plans to use her as a pawn in his power games. Kaden just wants to keep her alive, but his loyalties still lay with his country. Rafe promised he's rescuing Lia, and that his best four men are coming to infiltrate in the castle and save them; he just needs to have more time. But Lia is starting to nurture her gift and wont sit tight while everyone else uses her as a tool. 
 I enjoyed this book. It took me a while to remember every character and everything that happened, but once I did I could once again connect with the characters. I enjoyed watching the reality of Venda through Lia's eyes and to see her change her preconceived ideas. The other's pov where nice, except with Pauline: (view spoiler)[ I would have liked to see her taking more action. I get that she is pregnant, but they are not really doing anything really. I guess is just a way for us to know that the queen and Lia's brothers are being manipulated by the chancellor. I guess we'll know more next book, but it was painful to see the princes distrusting their sister. (hide spoiler)] 
 I love Rafe, and i like Kaden. Both characters are sweet and in love, but one is willing to do anything for Lia and the other is just way too naive and biased to really make an impact. I'm dying to see how things progress, since (view spoiler)[ Lia definitely chose Rafe, and doesn't love Kaden the same way. I want to know what Kaden vision mean, if she is meant to be with him... maybe that means that Rafe will die. (hide spoiler)] 
 I liked Lia in this book. She is strong and stands up for herself every time. She is impulsive at times and a bit naive and irrational, but she is smart and stands firm for what she believes. At times I didn't agree with her actions, but she didn't rub me the wrong way like other selfish main characters of other series. 
 The end of the book was a bit rushed, or maybe I read it too quickly. (view spoiler)[ I can't believe The Konomizar killed Aster... but I loved that she took revenge. Finally he was dead! It's a shame she won't stay, I would have loved to see Lia as a Konomizar. Now Rafe and Lia are alone and she has two arrows in her chest!!! Talk about a cliffhanger (hide spoiler)]
