From Goodreads:
She’s on borrowed time…and she has only one chance to set things right.
Find life.
Deep in a forest, Aileana Kameron claws her way out of the earth. Back from the dead with no memory of who she is or what has happened to her, the Falconer now possesses even greater otherworldly powers and a ruthless instinct to kill—and the one piece of knowledge that can change everything.
Find Kiaran.
Two fae monarchs, Aithinne and Kadamach, stand on the brink of war, and according to an ancient curse, one must die at the hand of the other or all the worlds will perish. Once, Kadamach was known as Kiaran, and he was mentor, protector, and lover to Aileana. Now, under the grip of the curse, his better nature seems lost forever.
Find the book.
Aileana’s only hope lies in the legendary Book of Remembrance, a book of spells so powerful that it can break the fae curse and even turn back time. But the book has been lost for centuries, and many are looking for it, including its creator, the Morrigan—a faery of terrifying malevolence and cruelty.
Sacrifice everything.
To obtain the book and defeat the Morrigan, Aileana must form an unthinkable alliance, one that challenges every vow she has made to herself—even as the powers that brought her to life are slowly but surely killing her.
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
I just turned the last page and I'm crying. I'M CRYING. I can't remember the last time I cried over a book and now here I am. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Everything about this book was perfection. It was exciting, romantic and brilliantly heartbreaking. How do I even begin to get over this?! Okay, deep breaths. Let me explain. I actually read the first two books years ago. I read this one the moment it came out and I only got as far as the first few chapters. Why? Because I knew. I KNEW. This was going to be one hell of a ride. And I wasn't ready for it to end. To break my heart. Now years later I decided to read the trilogy again. This time 'til the end. And I was right. It was one hell of a ride. It was magnificent. It was heartbreaking. It was bittersweet. I don't know how to recover from this. I don't want to.
This brutal, exciting world the author created is one I wouldn't forget anytime soon. The characters I've come to love will always have a special place in my heart. Kam, Kiaran, Derrick, Aithinne, Catherine and Gavin. (Even Sorcha and Daniel kind of grew on me.)
I am having the worst case of book hangover. Help. Me.
I am so ready to sell my soul for another book with Kam and Kiaran.
“One day, you’ll tell people the story of the faery king and the human girl. And how he watched from afar as she lived out twenty thousand human days. And if she listened closely during winter, when the wind was cold and the nights were longest, she could hear him whisper that he cherished her so much he was willing to give her the world.”
