A Spark Glows In The Ashes - And It's Ready To Ignite.

Burned out and desperate for change, Izzy has just quit her job and retreated to her late parents' summer cabin, hoping to rediscover her former self. Instead, she tumbles unexpectedly into the mysterious realm of the Fae - straight into the path of the enigmatic Caleb – a hot, brooding stranger who refuses to let her out of his sight.

If Izzy ever hopes to return home, she has no choice but to follow him into Skarvindar, and the fortress of the ruthless Queen Kalia, who sees more in Izzy than just a lost mortal.

While frantically searching for a way back, Izzy becomes entangled in a deadly game of power where her life is at stake.

But within her, a fire stirs, poised to become an inferno - one that might save her, or reduce everything to ashes.

Meanwhile, a dangerous attraction ignites between her and Caleb, but their connection harbours secrets that could destroy them both.

Izzy faces a crucial decision: will she use her newly discovered strength to return to the person she once was - or to become the person she could be?

I really liked this one and I’m excited to see how it plays out in the next books.

There were some parts of the book that had me like “????” because it felt unrealistic.

FMC is great but can be childish and unreasonably arrogant. Her actions don’t always make sense considering her situation. She ends up in a new world and is not at all cautious about her new companions and has the audacity to even whine. There is no sense of “omg will they leave me here” at all. There’s also not much talk about adjusting to different ways of living (no shower, technology, electricity etc). It’s just kinda weird.

MMC is actually quite charming. I saw other reviewers say there was no chemistry between them but I don’t think so! It was also refreshing how he wasn’t extremely distant.

Side characters - I loved the side characters! I actually laughed at some of their actions.

Plot - it was an interesting plot that had me guessing. I really wasn’t sure where the direction of the book was going. The ending was not a big cliffhanger but enough to be like hmm what’s going to happen next??

I’m kinda hoping for a love triangle hehe

Interesting with some funny moments

This book is easily in the top five of my books for 2025. Beautifully written and flew through. My only complaint-finding the series so early. I need the second like meow. Romance, sarcasm, plot and magic. Love.

Romance and sarcasm are two of my favorite things

Can’t wait for the next book!! The cliff hanger on this one is so good and horrid at the same time. I can’t wait for the next book!

Leaves you wanting more!

Literally my only complaint is finding this book so early into the series. I'm ready to "binge-listen" to the entire saga, not wait for the next one! But don't wait, this is a wonderful way to spend your time.

Every chapter, each word, is so deliberate and powerful, making the book so captivating it's enthralling.
And as the story progresses, its laced with some of the most beautiful poetry I've heard in a long while. Incredible work from all involved and I eagerly await the next volume :)

The story is like a painting you could find in the Louvre: stunning, dark, magnificent.
