Synopsis:
Epic
Fantasy combines with Young Adult romance in this stunning new adventure set in
a richly developed medieval world.
When
Emariya Warren learns enemy forces have captured her father, she'll do anything
to save him. Anything. Even marry a mysterious prince she knows nothing about
in order to rally the strength to arrange a rescue. During her journey to
Torian's foreign castle, Emariya comes face to face with her mother's
killers--and a deadly secret.
Not
only does Emariya possess a powerful but unexpected magical gift passed down
through each of her families, the prince she's promised to marry possesses a
third, and an ominous prophecy has warned the three gifts must never be
combined.
If
she breaks her promise to marry Torian, she won't be able to save her father
and if she keeps it, she may bring a curse upon everything she holds dear.
Determining which choice is best won't be easy, but when she meets the gorgeous
prince who may desire more than just her heart, she realizes she will have to
fight just to have a choice at all.
Her
heart wants him desperately. Her head begs her to run. If she doesn't want to
share her mother's fate, she'll have to find a way to untangle the truth from
the lies in time to save herself.
Discover
the heartbreaking betrayals, fascinating magic and fated love of Cornerstone.
I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank the author for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.
I loved this story!!!!
It's really great seriously. At first I was a bit worried about the content because this story has a background of magical kingdoms with Kings and Queens and normally I don't read such books but the cover and the blurb really impressed me so I picked it up and I'm so happy to say that I didn't get disappointed.
The characters are well developed and they all had their fair share of importance and role to play in this story and I really adored Emariya [Strange but Unique name!!!]. She is so tough and strong and knows how to handle your situation well and guard yourself from the worst unlike the cliche heroines who tend to bawl over everything and seek attention from boys.
She had a very tough decision to make and I was really sucked into that situation and just chomped on my nails fearing what she'll choose. The emotions were portrayed beautifully and it really touched my heart.
Torian was great and I really wanted him for myself but couldn't snatch him from Emariya, after all they are made for each other. Nice pacing though the beginning was a bit slow and over descriptive. The background info was good but a little less stress over than would have lightened the read a lot.
I would definitely recommend it to all and hope that you guys will love it. Enjoy!!!
