I'm almost done with this book, but it's the only one that I'm reading that I haven't already shared. The last few months have been terrible reading months for me.
Synopsis:
In a world where the Roman Empire never fell, two star-crossed lovers fight to ignite the spark of rebellion…
Londinium, the last stronghold of the Romans left in Britannia, remains in a delicate state of peace with the ancient kingdoms that surround it. As the only daughter of a powerful merchant, Cassandra is betrothed to Marcus, the most eligible bachelor in the city.
But then she meets Devyn, the boy with the strange midnight eyes searching for a girl with magic in her blood.
A boy who will make her believe in soulmates…
When a mysterious sickness starts to leech the life from citizens with Celtic power lying dormant in their veins, the imperial council sets their schemes in motion. And so Cassandra must make a choice: the Code or Chaos, science or sorcery, Marcus or Devyn?
Book Beginning:
I scowled as I studied my reflection. Something was off... I couldn't quite place it, but I could see it was there. Or not there. And if I could tell, others would too. There would be consequences. I just wasn't sure what would be yet.
Friday 56:
Fidelma smiled softly. "Bronwyn tells me that your friend is using magic to help people with the illness. Yes?"

Q: Do you own an e-reader? If so, what is your favorite thing about it?
A: Yes, I have a Kindle Fire, and I use it to borrow Library E-books and read the books I get from NetGalley. The best thing about it is the Library aspect.
