The Wraith King

My Current Read

📖 Name of the Book: The Wraith King

📄 Plot:

The story follows Gollaya Verbane, the last of the dragon fae wraiths, and Una Hartstone, the Princess of Issos. Gollaya's god has prophesied that Una is the key to the dark fae's rise, so Gollaya demands her submission. Una agrees to give her life to end the war, but Gollaya realizes he wants more than just a weapon when he falls in love with her.

📖 Genre: Dark Romantasy

📄 My Favorite Quotes: “This news will be spread everywhere. If they think me monstrous, so be it. But all will know the consequences to anyone who dares touch what is mine. That goes for my land, my property, and you.”

“I realized with sudden and unwavering certainty that this was the true Goll, the compassionate one who hid behind a hard, brutal exterior.”

💭 My Thoughts: I’m loving this book. I’m 65% in and it’s so hard to put down. The world building is crazy good. It’s just political enough to where it’s not overpowered by romance and spice.

⭐ Star Rating: predicting 4.5⭐️
