Kyra, an orphan raised on the
streets and thief, never imagined she would be a part of the palace guard. Half
cat, however, she must keep her identity a secret or risk being hunted like the
rest of her Demon Rider kin. Tensions start to rise between her and Tristan as well as within
Forge’s Council. As vicious Demon Rider attacks continue in surrounding
villages, Kyra knows she must do something to save her city. But she walks a
dangerous line between opposing armies. Will she be able to use her link to the
Demon Riders for good, or will her Makvani blood prove to be deadly? As a
lord’s son with a secret, can Kyra trust Tristam? Will she ever be accepted for
what she is?
Kyra is a
well-developed, engaging character that readers will want to follow. The plot
is fast-pace and easily draws the reader into Kyra’s world. Fans of Rae Carson
will enjoy reading this book.
