Branwen is struggling as she has to watch Tristan (whom Branwen loves) and her best friend, Princess Essy, try to deny their magical love bond. Tristan is loyal to his King Marc, but the magical pull to love Essy keeps making Tristan feel guilty. Essy doesn’t even try to deny the pull, all the while Branwen also carries guilt because it’s her fault there was even a magical love potion in the first place. Branwen loves her country above everything and realizes that if Essy can’t play a good queen to King Marc, then her country will continue to suffer from raiders. What neither King Marc or Branwen expect is outside forces allying against both of their countries.
This series is insane. I can’t put it down because the story is so twisted with romance and no-win situations. I keep reading but the drama never lets up. I like Branwen but am frustrated because every time she tries to fix something she makes it a million times worse. The ending of this book is a cliff hanger. The magical elements are quiet and not a main part of the storyline, until the ending and then they are over the top which seemed imbalanced. There is on page sex and war violence.
