Synopsis:
All her life, Sabine has been intrigued by the humans—the tales of their bustling cities, busy streets, and especially their grand theaters. But as a Fae princess of West Faerie, and the kingdom’s future queen, Sabine is forbidden from crossing the bridge that leads into human territory.
When Sabine’s mother falls ill, she realizes this might be her last chance to experience all the things she’s only heard of in stories. She sneaks out of Faerie and travels to Davon, the capital of Valsta, and discovers the human world has a magic that’s all its own.
But the beauty of the city is a mirage. Dark people lurk in shadowed corners, waiting to take advantage of a young Fae woman who’s wandered somewhere she doesn’t belong. Soon, Sabine finds herself trapped in an opulent prison, caught up in a web of crime and betrayal that extends all the way into her own kingdom.
Her only hope of escape is in the hands of a human—one of her captors. Sabine is determined to win Alexander over no matter the cost, but when their battle of wills becomes a battle of hearts, neither is prepared for the consequences…
The Gilded Fae is an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance, with a touch of angst and lots of chemistry. Each book in the series is a complete story, and although it’s best to read them in order, there are no cliffhangers.
Review & thoughts:
The Gilded Fae is a new Fantasy Romance by Shari L. Tapscott and the second book in her Royal Fae of Rose Briar Woods series that I really enjoyed. After The Masked Fae I couldn’t wait to read Sabine’s story and it was even better than I expected!
Sabine is the future queen of West Faerie but she doesn’t want the throne so when the opportunity presents itself she decides to visit the human lands for a few days. There she meets Alexander, a human theater owner she first met five years before when he performed during her birthday celebrations. They never forgot each other and the connection they felt during their first meeting. Due to some events Sabine is forced to spend more time in human lands with Alex and she will soon need to make important decisions regarding her future as the queen and her growing feelings for Alex.
I really liked our main characters, Sabine was really strong and likeable FMC who always stood up for herself and didn’t let others dictate her actions. While I didn’t agree with some of Alex’s choices he ultimately won me over with his devotion to Sabine and I could understand how his past affected his feelings and decisions in the present. This book was really fast paced, I read it in one sitting always wanting to know what happens next. Really enjoyed it and can’t wait for Drake’s book!
