This book was one of my favorites from 2018 and if you can make it through a rough ending, I recommend you pick this one up. Now granted, you don’t have to wait as long as I did for book 2 since this series is complete so that ending shouldn’t be so bad for anyone deciding to read it now. This book has everything I love in a good story; interesting characters, a story that will grab you from page one, and of course…swoony bits. While I know there are mixed reviews / feelings about book 3, I would still encourage anyone who is looking for a YA Fantasy retelling (this is Tristan and Isolde’s story), to pick this one up.

Not you without me, not me without you.
Two proud kingdoms stand on opposite shores, with only a bloody history between them.
As best friend and lady-in-waiting to the princess, Branwen is guided by two principles: devotion to her homeland and hatred for the raiders who killed her parents. When she unknowingly saves the life of her enemy, he awakens her ancient healing magic and opens her heart. Branwen begins to dream of peace, but the princess she serves is not so easily convinced. Fighting for what's right, even as her powers grow beyond her control, will set Branwen against both her best friend and the only man she's ever loved.
