Absolutely Brilliant Start To This Historical Fantasy Romance
I was glued to this book from the first page and I could not put it down. It’s one of those books that felt like it ended too soon because I was so immersed in it. There is action, fighting, political intrigue and a lot of sexual tension.
I’m not usually one for historical romances but this is not your run of the mill historical romance. The characters are well thought out. The worldbuilding is great and the story so believable that I didn’t want it to end. I can’t wait for book two.
This is the first book in a new Historical Fantasy Romance series from HP Mallory and JR Rain writing as Mallory Rain. The book is set in a fantasy realm in the Kingdom of Woodfall Gath.
Charlotte appears to be your average, everyday maid. She’s recently started working at the castle kitchens and manages to get herself in the position of serving the prince and his protector, Nicolo. Charlotte is no maid though. She’s a highly trained Guild assassin and her mark is Nicolo, a man who has spent his life as a target for assassins and who is notoriously hard to kill. She’ll have to get very close to him and gain his trust to even stand a chance.
Nicolo has something mysterious about him; more than his unusual appearance and violet eyes which had led to him and his mother being shunned and ousted from their village. As a child, a chance encounter with passing royalty sealed his fate. Young Nicolo’s mere presence appeared to have the power to heal the ailing young prince, who was next in line for the throne. Nicolo was stolen from his mother and forced to remain by the prince’s side as his childhood companion, then later as his protector.
All is not well in the kingdom of Woodfall Gath. The prince is widely unpopular. He has grown up to be a womanising drunk and no-one wants him to succeed the throne. He has many enemies and the surest way to get to him is through Nicolo. Can Charlotte succeed where so many others have failed?
