There are vivid descriptions that bring the world of Aadilor to life- I loved the description of the thief kingdom as seen through Darius’s eyes when he visits the land for the first time.
But of course, her mission is complicated by her growing attraction to the tortured ( literally) Darius who happens to be the Duke’s stepson. On becoming an adult, she is given an assignment to pose as the Duke of Lachlan’s potential bride to stop him stealing drugs from the Thief Kingdom then using this to fuel his magic and abuse his tenants. Larkyra power lies in her voice, and she can slay monsters with her voice but this is a gift she uses sparingly. The Mousai helps the Thief King reign over his kingdom where magic exists hidden away from the rest of the world. Larkyra is one of the Mousai, a trio of sorceresses, who just happens to be sisters. Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where lords and ladies can be murderers and thieves, and the most alluring notes are often the deadliest.This is a sweet romance set in a fantasy setting with a feisty, heroine and a tortured hero but I really wanted to learn more about the world and the Thief King and his kingdom. Larkyra and Darius must learn to trust each other if there is to be any hope of saving the people of Lachlan-and themselves.
Soon she suspects Darius has his own motivations for ridding Lachlan of the corrupt duke. But her plans grow complicated when she finds herself drawn to Lord Darius Mekenna, Lachlan's rightful heir. Eager to prove herself, Larkyra accepts by posing as the duke's potential bride. When it's discovered the Duke of Lachlan is siphoning a poisonous drug from the Thief Kingdom and using it to abuse his tenants, Larkyra is offered her first solo mission to stop the duke.
Larkyra Bassette may be the youngest of the Mousai, but when she sings her voice has the power to slay monsters. There, the mysterious Thief King reigns supreme with the help of the Mousai, a trio of revered and feared sorceresses. Many whisper of its existence, but few have found this place, where magic and pleasure abound. The Thief Kingdom is a place hidden within the world of Aadilor.
From the award-winning author of the Dreamland series comes a new dark romantic fantasy about a young woman finding hope in her powers of destruction.
