Wren is competing in the Bonewood Trials where her father instructed her to not just pass, but pass spectacularly to impress her grandmother, the overseer of the trials. When Wren is double crossed, she’s exiled to the Breachfort which is pretty much ignored by everyone because it’s supposedly desolate. She’s doing her guard duty diligently and when the visiting Prince Leo is kidnapped, Wren goes after him to save him. Julian is an ironsmith with the group who kidnapped Prince Leo but when the group tries to assassinate Julian, he and Wren end up falling in a deep crevasse together. The two of them are born enemies but are forced to work together to save themselves, rescue the Prince, and figure out why someone was targeting Julian.
Amazing world-building. I enjoyed the character depth, development and growth. I love the characters of Wren, Julian and Prince Leo. Wren is fair-skinned. Julian has pale skin. Prince Leo has caramel-colored hair and light brown skin. Wren’s father has olive skin. Commander has ruddy brown skin.
