Ayleth and her shade move as one, ever hungry for the hunt. Under her mentor's tight control, she fears her memories are being stolen.

When shadowy threats descend on the crown, Ayleth seizes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove her worth in open competition. Seeking to win the prince's favor and escape her scheming mentor, she resolves to hold her own against Terryn, a handsome, arrogant opponent who may be more than a match for her untested powers.

But as the two rivals follow a trail beyond the Great Barrier and confront legendary evil, the stolen secrets of Ayleth's past may return to haunt her . . .

Can Ayleth win the trial and reclaim her true self? Can she even survive her first day?

Good fantasy

This a common fantasy, however, it's really well written. It's not a fantasy that takes too long to develop, I think with ten chapters half have action scenes
I really loved the main character, she is funny, brave and honest about herself. Also, as we can see not just the Ayleth view but also from the other characters, is amazing as I had a way to not just judge one carachter by its surface.
There is a little bit of mystery around the relationships and the universe created, what made me anxious to read the next books.
The world made is really interesting and made me want to fight shades 😂
I also liked that thing that they can acess their own subconscient, although, I don't know if it's a desirable ability 😂
I didn't like that on the synopsis there is a tip saying what is going to be the couple, my judge is spoiled, I can't say if I really liked them together or I was pushed by the mini spoiler.
I laughed so much with the kissing scenes 😂😂😂 They are going to be a funny couple.
Now I am going to search the author saying the name of the characters, why american authors like to put such difficult names on their carachters? Ayleth, Terryn...
Thanks Kindle for having a tool for who is learning English, it was hard to imagine all the details but without the tool I shouldn't get it, as I am not a native english speaker.
I felt really curious about the world and I think I didn't loss the interest at any moment. I recommend this books for everyone who wants a little bit of fantasy to its life, I think we need to scape a little bit from the current world.
What did you think about the book?
Do you like fantasy books? I love 💕
