Current read

So far I’m already at chapter 14 and I find it to be really interesting. It’s a Christian fantasy and from the beginning of the book a lot is happening so it pulls you in quick. Which I really appreciated because slow beginnings are super hard for me to get invested in. I was however invested in the main character Iris. She doesn’t appear to know much of who she is which I find intriguing considering the circumstances of the first chapter. ‘I was frustrated for her’ I have a lot of questions which is also why I’m hooked 😅 I am reading the kindle unlimited version but already ordered the book itself as a future trophy for later enjoyment. To share what the book is about without ruining the magic of it , I’ll add the summery below. But if you like 3rd person pov’s,magic, mystery, danger, clean romance; then you should give this book a read.

📖📖📖 👇🏻Below is the book summary 👇🏻📖📖📖

A powerful imposter. A land torn by war. Their only hope-a child born in innocence.

And Iris has killed him.

Iris is a frightened girl thrust into a foreign world by her own terrible mistake.

Besaun is Crown Prince of the Fire Empire who would rather tinker than assume the throne.

Both are fated to save the world.

Iris knows little of her past and less of her heritage, but she knows Fire. It whispers to her, leaping at her urging, delighting her eyes.

But then, fire takes everything from her, and she learns her bloodline’s terrible secret.

Her terrible secret.

Because of her, the world is dying.

But there is hope for them all, if she can face her deepest fear.

If she can master the fire.
