A human girl born starblessed, Adara grew up knowing her destiny, but nothing of what it truly meant. 

From the moment the fea queen heard the news of a starblessed, she made a deal for the child. The entire village where she lived, would be cared for if they agreed to keep the starblessed safe and untouched. The starving villagers agreed. Her mother agreed to surrendered her daughter to the queen and be married to her son, the crown prince Gavril. Her father did not agree and when he fought for his daughter, he was killed.

She left her home as agreed, when the guards came to get her. If she refused, the queen would stop her aid and protection of her village. On the way to the palace Adara meets Evren captain of the royal guard and bastard son of the king.

Not long after they arrive in CitaliThe palace is attached and Evren is tasked with getting Adara to safety. Torn between the two brothers, Adara must decide who she can trust.

I'm torn on this book. I really like the story and where it's going, but there are parts that feel off. I get the 'love at first sight', but it still feels rushed in places. 

My advice, push through it. The payoff is worth it. About half way through the story pulls together.
