In a way, The Mark of Tala felt like returning home. It has been a few years since I last read a Fantasy Romance novel. In the beginning of my teenage years, Fantasy Romance was one of my favourite genres, but as time passed by, my preferences shifted to other types of books. But despite every precaution to shield her, Andi knows that not even being a wallflower will keep him from finding her.

The king sends her away to keep her hidden. She learns to have been promised to the stranger from the woods long before she had been born, a stranger who happens to be the ruler of a people heard of only in myth: the Tala, ravenous shapeshifters, wielders of dark magic. Suddenly, her father deems her a traitor, an object that belongs to him and him alone. She flees, but that brief contact is enough for her world to change. Until she meets a stranger in the woods, with hounds as companions, who means to take her away. Indeed, while the eldest learns how to rule the kingdom, and the youngest marries a prince, Andi is left to her own devices, living at the sway of the current.

Nobody ever expects much from a wallflower. Andromeda, or Andi, is the latter, something she has never minded. One a strategist fighter, one an angelical beauty, and one invisible. I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review. Andi doesn’t know if her own instincts can be trusted, as visions appear to her and her body begins to rebel.įor Andi, the time to learn her true nature has come. Whispers call her dead mother a traitor and a witch. In a moment everything changes: Her father, the wise king, becomes a warlord, suspicious and strategic. A country she’d thought was no more than legend–until he claims her as its queen. Until the day she meets a strange man riding, who keeps company with wolves and ravens, who rules a land of shapeshifters and demons. She enjoys the company of her horse more than court, and she has a way of blending into the shadows. Andi, the other one.Īndi doesn’t mind being invisible. No one says much about the middle princess, Andromeda. The youngest, the sweet beauty with her Prince Charming. The eldest, a valiant warrior-woman, heir to the kingdom.

The tales tell of three sisters, daughters of the high king.
