Short Summary of the book:

Jev and Zenia meet more challenges in the fourth book in the series. Jev’s father has found out about the attraction between Jev and Zenia and has arranged for a wedding to someone he feels is more suited. Jev tries to convince his dad to call off the engagement and allow Jev to choose his own bride but needs to deal with another problem first. One of Jev’s friends, Lornish, is at risk of being assassinated by Elfish assassins who consider him a traitor. Will Jev be able to come out on top of both challenges?

What I liked about the book:

I loved this book as much as the other three and just couldn’t stop reading. I read all books in the series in a matter of two to three weeks in February 2020.

What I didn’t like about the book:

There was nothing I disliked about the book.

My favourite bits in the book:

I enjoyed all the suspense and action within the book with the hint of romance.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The end. I wanted to read more and find out what happened next. This is most likely what led me to buy the next book in the series immediately after reading this one.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

The author has written more books in this series and I’m definitely a fan.

What books could this be compared to and why?

The book is similar to the first in the series. It uses magic, suspense, mystery and detective skills. Definitely a winner.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

 

Children

No

Young Adult

Yes

Adult

Yes

 

If you like mystery and fantasy with a bit of magic thrown in, this book may be the book for you.

Book Description by Author:

Jev Dharrow is trying to convince his father to cancel his arranged marriage so he can wed Zenia, the woman he loves. But when elven assassins arrive in the city, all his personal problems must be set aside.

 

They are after his good friend, Lornysh, an elf who has saved Jev's life a dozen times over the years. The assassins consider Lornysh to be a traitor to their people, and they’ll kill anyone who stands at his side. They wield great magic as well as their swords, and they have the power to destroy half the city as they chase after their target.

 

With the arranged marriage looming and elven assassins on the warpath, Jev is running out of time to save his friend—and his own future.
