Embers in the Snow by Anna Carven

They’re marrying me off to a monster.

I always knew the day would come. I just didn’t think it would be so soon.
I’m betrothed.
I imagined my future husband would be some minor lord; maybe an old, uncomely man who’d only value me for the fact that I would bear him heirs.
I never thought my father would go to the capital and seek an audience with Emperor Valdon Duthriss himself. What unholy deal did he make with the emperor that I, a mere baron’s daughter, would end up betrothed to that man?
The son. Corvan Duthriss. War hero. Commander. Fallen.

My Thoughts

I never knew how much I wanted a story like this until I read it. It had all the elements I needed for a great read, a bit of smut, a bit of adventure, a blob of self growth, a splodge of darkness and a large scoop of magic.

Would 100% read again and again.
It’s set me off on a vampire hype now though, so I shall have to sift through the great mass of titles to find another to captivate me as much as this.

We shall see, we shall see..

I loved the sheer strength of mind of the FMC, despite the situation she was in, she grew as a person, in ways she wouldn’t have anticipated.

There was many supernatural elements in this story. My favourite were the trees.

I simply loved this book, I was able to read it fairly quickly, it’s an absolute page turner.

There’s a deeply satisfying political vibe throughout; war, political marriage, class.

I strongly recommend this to all romantasy fans.

A little song that I vibed with while reading Embers in the Snow:
