She isn't normal, she isn't who she thought she was, and all her answers lead her to the last person she expected. A dark force beckons behind her eyes and power surges in her veins. Just days before her wedding to a corrupt prince, something happens to her-something so frightening it's been kept a secret for thousands of years. She wears the gowns and the crowns and knows the right words to say as a noblewoman, even though her heart longs to be out on the field, fighting among the brave. Seventeen year-old Echo Abbeny has always minded her role as a Warrior and heiress to the Alwaenian throne.
The champion is granted mercy and the privilege to see another sunrise, but the fallen meet their fate in the bloodied sand. I look forward to getting my hands on the next book in the series and seeing where Echo and Ayden’s love takes them next.In a lost world divided between those known as the Hunters and Warriors, prisoners who have fallen prey to King Cyrus's decrees are forced into an arena to fight until death. 🙂 Nadège Richards has set up a series many fans of YA and/or dystopian novels would love to read, though its reach is potentially much farther. Though this is just not a love story, love burns at the center of every page, and reminds me what I felt like when I had my first love, though it wasn’t as fantastical, perhaps only in my head. And save a glass slipper, it’s a chance meeting between our two protagonists, which leads them down this path of survival – for their love. A princess who finds she is something else, I suppose you could say it’s Cinderella in reverse, a lot more death and battle in this story than the other. Nadège’s tale of blood, death, and love was craftily formed, only making me more interested in the world she’s created.
I woke up today not wanting to get up or do anything – so what did I end up doing? I turned on my phone and went to my Kindle app and decided to finish reading Burning Bridges by the wonderful Nadège Richards.
