Blurb:
My
kingdom is dying.
I
am next in line for the throne, but a crown means nothing in a
kingdom consumed by shadow. A desperate whisper of magic leads me to
a Rhysand Page. Not the legendary dragon I sought but a broken man
hiding amongst humans.
He hasn’t shifted in decades, but
I sense a flicker of power within him—a fire I must rekindle. I
offer him everything—my hand, my crown, my very being.
To
save my kingdom, I’ll bargain with a dragon. To save his soul,
he’ll embrace the fae. But in this dance of fire and shadow, will
we find salvation or destruction?
My Review:
Emerald & Shadow presents a captivating narrative centered around a dragon and a fae. The Fae realm stands on the brink of annihilation, prompting Mai to journey to the human world in search of the magic required to rescue her people from her uncle, who harbors ambitions of usurping her father's throne.
Should her uncle succeed, he would not only obliterate her world but also seek to conquer additional realms. In the human realm, Mai encounters a dragon named Rhysand, whom she fervently hopes will assist her in thwarting her uncle, Erebus, from dethroning her father.
Emerald & Shadow is a succinct read that conveys the depth of a full-length novel. It captivated my attention from the very first page. Once I commenced reading, I found it impossible to set the book down until I reached the conclusion. The intertwined journey of Mai and Rhysand kept me engaged as I eagerly turned the pages, eager to discover if and how they would safeguard the Fae realm.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of following Mai and Rhysand, gaining insight into their characters as they became acquainted with one another. The depiction of their magical connection was particularly enchanting, allowing me to visualize each moment as if I were present, witnessing the magic that flowed between them.
I highly recommend that all enthusiasts of magical tales acquire a copy of Emerald & Shadow and accompany Mai and Rhysand on their mesmerizing adventure.
