If Alina is to fulfil her destiny, she must discover how to unlock her gift and face up to her dangerous attraction to him. But what of Mal, Alina's childhood best friend? As Alina contemplates her dazzling new future, why can't she ever quite forget him? Glorious. Epic. Irresistible. Romance.

This is a book i waffled on for quite a long time I not sure if it was the title or the description but something felt off. I am so glad i choose to give it a chance cause this book was amazing. It had a whole concept i not found much in books that have to do with magic. I like the plot twists, the anticipation of what is going to happen next. Just the right of amount of fantasy and dash of romance. I excited for the next book.
