Two orphans grow into powerful young women as they face countless threats to find their way back to each other...

Farleigh is just an orphanage–at least, that's what the church would have the people believe. But beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place—while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins.

Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans and the love they hold for each other.

What a beautiful world. A terrible world, but wow is it beautiful. 

The terrible bits are bad. This definitely takes you into the medieval type of fantasy. Which isn't my favorite. Ultimately this book feels like quite a lot of set up for an interesting series. As a standalone, it was good. But ultimately, I'm just really curious what's going to happen in the next book. how will being separated for year sad then reunited under duress impact Nox and Amaris in the longer term? 

But also, Amaris is a badass. Nox is a badass in different ways. And I'm really looking forward to see how they both compliment one another, and I'm really looking forward to a fight. I think they deserve to have a good fight and make up.
