Publisher's Summary

Having learned a lesson about thwarting the will of the gods, Imriel and Sidonie publicly confess their affair, only to see the country boil over in turmoil. Younger generations, infatuated by their heart-twisting, star-crossed romance, defend the couple. Many others cannot forget the betrayals of Imriel's mother, Melisande, who plunged their country into a bloody war that cost the lives of their fathers, brothers, and sons.

To quell the unrest, Ysandre, the queen, sets her decree. She will not divide the lovers, yet neither will she acknowledge them. If they marry, Sidonie will be disinherited, losing her claim on the throne.

There's only one way they can truly be together. Imriel must perform an act of faith: search the world for his infamous mother and bring her back to Terre d'Ange to be executed for treason.

Facing a terrible choice, Imriel and Sidonie prepare ruefully for another long separation. But when a dark foreign force casts a shadow over Terre d'Ange and all the surrounding countries, their world is turned upside down, alliances of the unlikeliest kind are made, and Imriel and Sidonie learn that the god Elua always puts hearts together apurpose.

These books are so long they could easily be shortened

I’m so done with this series these book are just so long and dragging out, I feel like the author definitely could’ve left some stuff behind. They just get so boring the books would have been much more enjoyable if they were 1/2 as big as they are.

The magic in this book was interesting at first but considering it took until basically the last chapter for the spell to be broken it was just really dragged out. The man’s face & identity he had to take on for 1/2 the book was annoying, i couldn’t stand him I couldn’t wait for it to be over!

All of these books had interesting stories but they don’t keep your attention, each book was just dragged out needlessly!
