“You don’t need to be fixed. You just need to be loved.” 
 
If you’re looking for fantasy romance with epic world building, morally grey character and spicy slow burn romance then grab this book asap! 
 
The storyline is very interesting, I really like the dessert which portrayed as a living magical being along with a unique magic that our main characters has. 
The first few chapters is a little bit slow as the author wanted to introduced the characters and the world building but I was intrigued by the background story of Kelvadan city and the truth of the Dessert itself.. 
 
I admire Keera, the FMC – she’s grown so much throughout this book from an exile to a fierce warrior participating in a deadly tournament. 
I also enjoy the slow burn romance between her and Erix, I really like the second part of the story where they started to open up to each other and Keera started to realize Erix is not as evil as she thought he'd be. 
 
The last few chapters were quite intense and action-packed, I can’t wait to see what happens next after that cliff-hanger! 
 
Overall, this is a very enjoyable, entertaining and fun romantasy! 
Loveable characters and great writing style makes this book quite hard to put down. 
I’m really looking forward to read the sequel once it came out! 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free from the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily!
