A fantasy novel packed with magic,
elemental powers, prophecies, and two furiously headstrong, stubborn, badass female characters. The book alternates between the perspectives of Rielle and Eliana, who have been born with powers – power that could mean they are one of the prophesied Queens-
the Queen of light and salvation or the Queen of blood and destruction.
Rielle Dardenne has kept her power
hidden since she was a kid, but when an assassination attempt is made on Prince Audric – her best friend and her first and only love – she unleashes her power, in order to save him, revealing everything she has tried so hard to conceal. Hoping to prove her
allegiance to the kingdom, she has to go through various magic trials or be executed. She has to convince everyone, especially herself, that she is the ‘Sun Queen’. All while trying to keep Corien, an angel who has certain plans of his own, from poisoning
her mind.
Eliana Ferracora – an assassin for
the king – has a connection to Rielle, despite being born a thousand years later, when the story of Queen Rielle is nothing but an age-old legend. However, in a world where magic has long been eradicated, she possesses certain powers that she herself hasn’t
yet discovered fully. When females of all ages start vanishing from her kingdom, including her mother, Eliana teams up with her enemy, Simon (aka the Wolf), who seems to know a lot about who she is, and sets off on a journey to save her mother, and possibly
her empire, while discovering who she is and what she is capable of doing.
Furyborn is nothing short of an adventure,
especially the untangling of the connection between the two characters, that will have you hooked to the last page!
