Synopsis:
A library with a deadly enchantment.
A Fae lord who wants in.
A human woman willing to risk it all for a taste of power.
In a land ruled by ruthless Fae, twenty-one-year-old Lore Alemeyu’s village is trapped in a forested prison. Lore knows that any escape attempt is futile—her scars are a testament to her past failures. But when her village is threatened, Lore makes a desperate deal with a Fae lord. She will leave her home to catalog/organize an enchanted library that hasn’t been touched in a thousand years. No Fae may enter the library, but there is a chance a human might be able to breach the cursed doors.
She convinces him that she will risk her life for wealth, but really she’s after the one thing the Fae covet above all: magic of her own.
As Lore navigates the hostile world outside, she’s forced to rely on two Fae males to survive. Two very different, very dangerous, very attractive Fae males. When undeniable chemistry ignites, she’s not just in danger of losing her life, but her heart to the very creatures she can never trust.
A stunning Romantasy debut about an enchanted library, two handsome Fae, and one human who brings them all together.

*************************
Lore is a fantastic protagonist. She's smart, caring, and the kind of character that's easy to root for. She is a little naive at times, but she's also in a situation she'd never thought she'd be in, and doesn't know who to trust so she just ends up trusting the Fae she encounters who are kind. Something she didn't expect to see from the Fae.
I liked Asher as a character. It's really hard to talk about this character without spoiling anything. I have a lot to say, but I can't say any of it.
Finndryl. Oh, Finndryl. He became a favorite character. He started as the typical grumpy character. He stayed grumpy but started to have a charm to it. I hope he has a larger role in the next book.
One thing that I wish is that the cursed/enchanted library was in more of the book. It was kind of forgotten at one point. I wanted to learn how and why it was cursed. Maybe that's for the next book? I hope to understand that aspect of it and to learn more about the world as a whole. I also hope to learn how the humans got to that world as well, and if there's some connection of some kind.
I don't know how many books are going to be in this series, but I am excited to read them.
