Synopsis: Magic versus science. Wyst versus Etruria. The solution: a royal wedding to join the two warring lands.

She becomes entangled with the crown prince, his future bride and his best friend. Soon it is difficult to determine where her loyalties lie. 


And who can be trusted. 


With spies, assassination attempts and the age-old superstition against magic, Emrys walks a fine line between two worlds. 

But nothing is as it seems. 

Especially the Lady Emrys Bruma.

My Review: When I first saw this cover I wasn't to sucked in, I am a total cover person and well this one isn't the best that I have seen.  However, what I found when I started reading the book was a great story! I fell for Lady Emrys and what she was trying to do in this world.  She was a great character and I can't wait for book two!  The pacing in this one could have been a little better but overall it was pretty spot on for the plot. The blend of magic and science was one that I hadn't seen before and it worked so well.  Even though this book is just over 300 pages it felt much shorter. I think the author could have added another 200 pages and I would have still loved it.  I will totally be checking out her other titles if she has any!
