Synopsis
Two former-teen-protagonists-who-saved-the-world now need to learn how to be adults - with adult feelings - in this witty, warm and fantastical fantasy. Perfect for fans of T Kingfisher, Tasha Suri's The Isle and the Silver Sea and Cait Jacobs' The Princess Knight
'AN ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL LOVE STORY ABOUT SAVING YOURSELF AFTER YOU'RE DONE SAVING THE WORLD' SARAH BETH DURST
Princess Elysande Sybilla Aurelion of Estrachia, Voice of the Thousand-Eyed Goddess, impulsively made a vow to her knight, Faron, at eighteen years old, under the secrecy of night and the thousand watchful eyes of her patron deity. To be fair, they expected to perish at the hands of a raging sorceress the next day - but then they didn't.
Once she took the throne, everything changed. Ely and Faron agreed that they were too young and too important - as the now Queen and Knight Guardian - to be anything more. And with Ely's responsibility as the new sovereign of her people, it was better to forget the whole thing than risk the kingdom's new-found peace.
Ten years later, Ely finds herself needing to marry the prince of a neighbouring territory for political advantage, and she discovers that she is, technically, married to her best friend. And the Goddess won't let her out of her oath easily. Now, Ely and Faron must work together to seek the deity and break their vows in favour of the greater good - even if they risk rekindling a flame that never truly died.
