Ruins of Sea and Souls
Lisette Marshall
Fantasy Romance
“You fell in love with a fae executioner. Did you truly think that would end well?”
With war looming, Emelin’s plan is simple: break the Mother’s bindings while her more diplomacy-minded friends persuade the rest of the world to join their rebellion. Unfortunately, their would-be allies are far too concerned about Em’s exact connection to the feared and hated Silent Death.
They might risk their lives for the world’s only unbound mage, but they’ll never fight for a fae prince’s puppet.
Forced to hide the explosive secret of their love, Em and Creon journey to the plague-cursed continent to learn more about the bindings. But as they face dragons, ruins, and murderous forests in search of the vanished gods, distrust between Creon and their travel companions brings tensions to a boiling point.
And if their love may cost them the victory against the Mother … how will Em ever choose between her heart and her duty?
Uncaged Review: Emelin and the gang need to travel to the continent looking for the god Zera to find a way to break the
bindings. They must travel to a continent that was destroyed by war, and the only way for them to go is by taking the demons to keep the toxic atmosphere safe for their travels. During their search, Emelin finds the goddess, and spends time with her, not knowing how much time has passed for her friends. We see plenty of growth with Emelin and she is beginning to come into her own and her time with Zera nutures the power.
We see that the rest of the group is slowly starting to trust Creon more and more, and more revelations will be brought out. The world building is top notch and all the characters are not perfect, but they are perfect for this story. The ending is explosive, and you will be left hurrying to grab the next book.
