But, honestly, sometimes all you need is a book that makes you smile, swoon, and wish for your ship to sail. I will admit that, at one point early on, I put this down because I just wasn’t feeling it-I mean, the writing is nothing special and I’ve never really been a fan of ‘I am’s instead of I’m and other such contraction draw outs. “It is worth very much.” His eyes consumed hers. His voice had a richness to it that she had never heard before. When he spoke it was slow and deliberate, little more than a whisper. “You are my friend, whatever this commoner’s friendship is worth.” I really couldn’t ask for more in a story, especially during this busy time for me. Every time he was in the story my heart was pounding and my stomach erupted in butterflies. He’s dark-haired and silver tongued and…well, I’m sure you get the picture. And, let’s face it, he’s one of those misunderstood bad boys. In a sea of fantasy, Aldrik, wait, scratch that, Prince Aldrik is exactly what I have been looking for. Each time there was some clever excuse, and when those ran out he simply materialized between the shelves in the library and they would slink off together like children. The prince spirited her away the next day, and two days after that. So, alright whatever, fuck it– All I want to talk about is Prince Aldrik, so that’s what I’m going to talk about. And yeah, sure, there are fifty million things I guess I could talk about, but why bother if I can’t talk about what I want to? How am I not going to fangirl about a guy? What’s the point otherwise? I mean, obviously I have a ship and obviously it was my favorite part about the book-I mean, duh-it’s me we’re talking about here. Now that I have time, the gravity of what I promised lays heavily on my shoulders. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined. Now she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all-the Crown Prince Aldrik-she finds herself enticed into his world. Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war. A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond.
