Halayda

By Sarah Delena White

Book Overview

A mortal alchemist. A faerie king. A bond that transcends death.

Betrayed by a trusted mentor, Sylvie Imanthiya hides on the fringes of society, caring for half-fae orphans and trading her alchemical creations on the black market. She lives for the one night each season when she can see her dearest friend--a man whose destiny is far above hers.

King Taylan Ashkalabek knows better than to exchange halayda vows with a mortal. Even their friendship is a risk; love is an impossible dream. Then a brutal alchemical attack poisons his realm, unearthing a dark power within him--and leaving Sylvie with the ancient mark of Faerie's savior.

Manifesting unpredictable abilities and aided by allies with their own secrets, Sylvie and Taylan journey into the wilds of Faerie to heal the damage and confront Casimir, an invincible star-fae determined to claim the realm as his own. But only their enemy knows Sylvie's true capabilities--and Taylan's weaknesses--and how to use them in his vicious schemes.

Her fate is life. His fate is death. With Faerie in the balance, Sylvie and Taylan must stand together before reality as they know it is destroyed.

Customer Reviews

Steampunk Elements, Redemption Arc, Annoying Yet Loveable Married Couple, and SO MUCH MORE to Enjoy!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. There were a couple of things that didn't quite click, the age gap between the romantic couple and how long a horse - even a pooka one - could carry two riders at a run - for example. But overall, I enjoyed! The steampunk elements, the redemption arc, the surprise climax/ending, the annoying yet loveable married couple, and so much more were epic to explore! Looking forward to reading Book 2 :)
