Summary
A failing warrior。
A prince in pain。
A city in the mountain where they and their loved ones hide from Solevar's curse。 But this reality will soon shatter。 For among the cursed ashes of Solevar， a Seer has been found。
Eirin， the king's favored warrior-in-training， is going to fail her combat test。 She knows this， as does everyone around her。 This comes as no surprise， though。 Eirin never understood why the king chose to train her alongside the Walled City's most promising fighters。 She's always been too slow， too weak， never enough for what a true Sgaeth is meant to be。 And now that it's nearly over， she dreams only of returning to the home where she's loved and she belongs。
For years， Drystan， the king's Heir， chosen for his strength and prowess in combat， has watched Eirin fight only to fall again and again。 And though he's only the king's Heir， his patience with the situation grows thin。 Anyone can see that Eirin was never meant to be a Sgaeth， but the king refuses to listen。 As if his worry over Eirin's safety isn't enough， the ever-present pain in Drystan's chest is reaching nearly crippling levels。 If he can't get it under control， his suffering will soon begin to affect those he should be keeping safe。
Both Eirin and Drystan's plans and ambitions are brought to a halt， however， when just before Eirin's combat trial， the Walled City is attacked by an army of monstrous shifters。 And Eirin and Drystan hear a word uttered that changes the course of the battle and their lives。
Seer。
Upon hearing mention of this word， the king sends Eirin， Drystan， and a small party of companions out of the Walled City， out of the mountain， into the ancient， dying land of Solevar。 There， he promises， they will find the answers they've been seeking。 But no matter what happens， Drystan must protect Eirin at all costs。 The Walled City's survival depends on it。
As they make their way into the dangerous world of the Atharrach shifters， far from the safety of their city's walls， Drystan and Eirin begin to see that perhaps the world is not exactly as they've been told。 Even more importantly， though， they learn world-altering secrets about their own selves。 And if they can't learn to embrace their true natures。。。and trust one another along the way， the world as they know it might fall。

I'm glad I waitedI knew I would be completely engrossed in this tale， And that I would need to be prepared to focus on all that was happening， so I waited until I would have no major distractions to pull me from this tale。 I am so glad I did。 My goodness！ So much has happened！ An epic tale where truth and lies are life threatening and the entire world is at stake！。 I do love this and can hardly wait until the next book is out。 I'm glad I waitedI knew I would be completely engrossed in this tale， And that I would need to be prepared to focus on all that was happening， so I waited until I would have no major distractions to pull me from this tale。 I am so glad I did。 My goodness！ So much has happened！ An epic tale where truth and lies are life threatening and the entire world is at stake！。 I do love this and can hardly wait until the next book is out。 。。。more

Thoroughly enjoyableI really enjoyed this （enough to spend about 4 hours downing it when I should be asleep）。 The characters， plot， and there growth was super well done。 I enjoyed how they had strengths and weaknesses without being overdone or painfully cliche。 The plot was very interesting - even if I felt like some of the revelations came too quickly while others took way too long。 I also thought the whole idea of the book was so well done and created - the world building is just beautiful

Amazing！I don't know what I was expecting， but it wasn't this。 It was so different than what I usually read， and， man， an I glad I did。 I have read all of Brittany's books， so it shouldn't surprise me that I ended up liking this one。 Can't wait for the next book！ Amazing！I don't know what I was expecting， but it wasn't this。 It was so different than what I usually read， and， man， an I glad I did。 I have read all of Brittany's books， so it shouldn't surprise me that I ended up liking this one。 Can't wait for the next book！ 。。。more

I've read a few of this author's books before and I was lucky enough to get an advanced readers copy of this one in exchange for leaving an honest review。 I'd been looking forward to reading it， and finally I had the time to do so。Our heroine in this book grew up being trained as a warrior in a city where the population is threatened by outside forces and the walls are the only thing apart from these warriors that protect them from both monsters and from the sun that might kill them。 The other p I've read a few of this author's books before and I was lucky enough to get an advanced readers copy of this one in exchange for leaving an honest review。 I'd been looking forward to reading it， and finally I had the time to do so。Our heroine in this book grew up being trained as a warrior in a city where the population is threatened by outside forces and the walls are the only thing apart from these warriors that protect them from both monsters and from the sun that might kill them。 The other people in the city needs medicines to deal with the sun even if it does not hit them directly， but by accident， she learns that she can go without it。During an attack on the city， she ends up saving the heir's life and from there her life starts getting interesting as she keeps ending up meeting with him， but she's hesitant because he hurt her once before and she's afraid he might do so again。Our heroine is well written， she might not be the best fighter， but she has a good head on her and you can't help but wonder if she'll be able to get through the challenges ahead and as you get to know the heir to the city's throne， you can't stop yourself from liking him either。As the story progresses， challenges are overcome and mysteries are slowly unraveling， I found myself more and more absorbed in the book， to the point where I forgot to feed my cats until I was done。 （Luckily for them I read fast and finished not too long after their regular feeding time）I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series， because I need to know how the story continues， and I fear this will be another of this author's series where I'll end up not wanting it to end。-Elle 。。。more

Great epic adventure！This is a a great story！ It has interesting and dynamic main and side characters， action， adventure， mysteries， and a little bit of romance。 It was hard to put down for sure。 I definitely recommend it！

This is a great story！！I really enjoyed reading this book！ The characters are very interesting and the enemy to friend to something more vibe is very good。 There is a lot of intrigue which receives a lot of answers at the end of the story but also makes me ready to read book number 2！！！ Well done！

Oh my word。 I loved this book。 I am so thrilled for Fichter's dragon story to finally be here and I cannot wait for the rest of the trilogy！ The world for this new trilogy is intriguing。 I must admit， it took me a few chapters to get the swing of things。 There were a lot of names that were kind of hard to track and I didn't really understand what was a name， a creature， a plant， a rank， etc。 But I adjusted quickly enough。 It made the beginning a little disorienting， but not enough to pull me out Oh my word。 I loved this book。 I am so thrilled for Fichter's dragon story to finally be here and I cannot wait for the rest of the trilogy！ The world for this new trilogy is intriguing。 I must admit， it took me a few chapters to get the swing of things。 There were a lot of names that were kind of hard to track and I didn't really understand what was a name， a creature， a plant， a rank， etc。 But I adjusted quickly enough。 It made the beginning a little disorienting， but not enough to pull me out of the story。 I was fascinated by the sun sickness， though， and the underground society Fichter built。 I really hope to learn more about the sun sickness in the later two books。 It's such a unique worldbuilding element and I really loved seeing how different people dealt with the ramifications of it。 And I loved the mystery of unraveling how it started and what caused it--and I'm definitely curious to see more on that front as the story progresses。 The different settings in the world gave the journey a very quest-like feel that was a lot of fun。 We started in a curious culture of people who valued order and strength and then saw different kinds of societies after that on the way to the surface。 I really liked the dwarf mines and hope we see more of those， too。 And the first glimpse of the surface was a moment that effectively made me pause with the characters。 I'm excited about exploring more of the surface， too。Much like the world， the storyline itself drew me in。 I love a good mystery and there are threads of mystery and hints of fairytale and loads of adventure smattered throughout。 I definitely suspected one of the twists， but Fichter still built suspense and uncertainty before she revealed the truth， and the twist was cool， too。 It was neat to start the book from one perspective and then see everything shift and realize the truth of what was going on。 I know she'll have more twists and turns in store！ The Testings ended a bit oddly， I thought。 I know it was explained later， so it wasn't a huge deal， but there was something about it that made me wonder why it didn't go a different way。 At first we didn't see a lot of the Elders， but I think they'll become increasingly more important and I'm still very curious about their role in all this。 They were an entertaining and suspenseful element to the story for sure。 The whole bigger plot still feels like a mystery， so I'm curious how much of this first story will carry into the rest of the bigger plot。 This one felt like a smaller story that sets up the bigger one， but I'm hoping some of what went down here still ties deeply into the bigger elements。The characters in this were soooo much fun！ I didn't love some of the names。 I did eventually figure out what was the name of a person and what was the name of some worldbuilding element， but some of them were still difficult to say in my head and I just ended up making something similar up XD But that was such a small thing compared to how much fun this cast was。 I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamics between the students， the teachers， and the Elders/rulers。 Eirin and Alys make me want to hug my best friend so much。 And I was so scared through half of this that something would sour their relationship--I'm still scared of it！ I may cry if it does sour cause I love these two。 And it was so sweet how their friends rallied around each other。 （I really hope we get to see more of Mateo and Jude soon！） I loved the loyalty and team mentality they had throughout the journey。 And those who rocked that boat， too！ Nuru is an interesting character and I'm willing to bet there's more to her yet to come。 Thane was a comic and I'm definitely hoping to see where his character leads。 Qeb is probably the one I'm most curious about， though。 There just feels like there has to be more boiling under the surface there。 Eirin's parents and family were such a sweet touch to the story， too。 I just want to scoop them up！Drystan and Eirin make me smile。 They each had such broken bits they began to work through and it was easy to cheer for them and hope for their growth。 I did feel like Eirin's hatred of Drystan was a little built up。 We spend half the book wondering what this mysterious thing is that she refuses to talk about or remember。 I mean， I get that it impacted her view of Drystan and his character， but I guess I was expecting something a little more deeply traumatizing than what it actually was--just in the context of the culture， it didn't seem so。。。awful。 Or maybe I just didn't have the ability to connect with her and experience it as much because it was only a memory。 I'm not sure。 And while I saw the reason behind what he did， I do also wish that had been explored a little more or discussed perhaps？ It just seemed for the amount of trauma it caused Eirin， it was pretty swiftly resolved and taken care of。 That said， I liked the way it was rooted in Drystan's character in a number of ways。 And most of all， I loved how they saw each other's character， who they were， and their brokenness。 Also， it doesn't hurt they each looked good ;） But that wasn't the focus and it made the romance feel more realistic。 THE CREATURES！ Okay， guys！ So， first: I found the names of the creatures really confusing and difficult to keep up with。 They had a race name （I think？） and then each had species names。 Maybe I'm just not as up and up on my mythology as I should be， but until Fichter described what they were， I was so in the dark。 The characters had a great knowledge of the creatures and had studied them thoroughly， but I was a little lost。 That said， I loved the variety of them so much！ I loved the function they served in the world and I'm soooo curious about what they should have been before the world broke。 It was so much fun to have so many fun， cool creatures interacting at different points in different ways。 （Also， shoutout to my merman！！！ YAS！ Absolutely hoping he turns up again later！） Um， and I totally figured out the dragon on the cover！！ Also， MORE DRAGON！ :D I'm a little excited for the dragons， okay。The book has no swearing， some fantasy violence， and a sweet， clean romance。 It explores questions of truth， deception， power， etc。 There is allusion to less-than-wholesome boys with less-than-wholesome plans for one of the main girls， but nothing actually happens and it's tactfully portrayed。 I'd feel comfortable giving the book to a teen。 。。。more
