Synopsis:
Long ago, war ravaged the lands of Estrana, until an agreement was set. A tentative peace is now on the verge of collapse from centuries-old prejudices. Verena never sought to conquer, nor rule, but betrayal forced her hand. To protect the forsaken, she must attend the quarter century meeting. And assume her place at the demon High Lord's table, just as her parents before.The blood in Verena's veins determined her path, but other's secrets will decide her fate. A lineage she has always denounced now weighs heavy upon her shoulders. The power of an Empress was never a weapon she wanted to wield, but for her people, she will take what is hers, by battle and blood. High Lady she was born, but an Empress she was destined to become.
Review & thoughts:
Let me start by saying I didn’t know much about this book when I started it, I was drawn to it mainly because of that stunning cover but I just finished it and my. mind. is. blown! The Empress of Scarred Secrets by Andrea Corbin is such a great new adult fantasy romance I have no idea why I haven’t heard of it before. It is evenly paced with some great battle and action scenes but also fascinating politics that made me constantly want to know what happens next and made me finish this book in one sitting. Also the world described by the author was really unique, I don’t think I have ever read anything even slightly similar, I really liked it. The romance is slow burn but the moment Hadeon was introduced I knew I would love his and Verena’s relationship and I was not disappointed. I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything but I actually screamed at the end of the book, that epilogue was so unexpected and I absolutely cannot wait for the next book.
