I must say this first: Wow! Ashes of Dearen: Book 1 by Jayden Woods far beat any expectations I had for it. As a free book from B&N's marketplace (I know, I know, I complain about the stories there often enough), I expected to rate it no higher than a 3!
It takes place in the smallest of the three nations in Dearen. There are actually four MC: Princess Frya (it opens with her- and I was like "Purple hair? Is this some kind of fanfiction! Ugh!"- and her younger brother Kyne overlooking the city of Dearen and the safra haze that cover it), Sean (a Wolven assassin who's mortal enemies are the Volveni aka the rulers of Dearen), Picord (the son of the Kahn- ruler of one of the three nations- and a safra addict), and Elenor (King-wife of Yamnir- I hope I spelled that right). It weaves a magical story of love and deceit and plots of stealing the ancient recipe for Safra, joy incarnate.
5 out 5 stars! I give this rating gladly. I found little to no spelling/grammar errors and the story was just- wow, amazing! It contains a few racy scenes including several homosexual ones!
