The Witch’s Heart meets The Foxglove King in this debut fantasy about a woman who can bring people back from the dead, and the princess she must protect, no matter the cost
The first time Hellevir visited Death, she was ten years old…
Since she was a little girl, Hellevir has been able to raise the dead. Every creature can be saved for a price, a price demanded by the shrouded figure who rules the afterlife, who takes a little more from Hellevir with each soul she resurrects.
Such a gift can rarely remain a secret. When Princess Sullivain, sole heir to the kingdom’s throne, is assassinated, the Queen summons Hellevir to demand she bring her granddaughter back to life. But once is not enough; the killers might strike again. The Princess’ death would cause a civil war, so the Queen commands that Hellevir remain by her side.
But Sullivain is no easy woman to be bound to, even as Hellevir begins to fall in love with her. With the threat of war looming, Hellevir must trade more and more of herself to keep the princess alive.
But Death will always take what he is owed.

Ein tolles Buch. Besonders gefiel mir, dass Hellevir nicht nur wichtige Menschen zurückholt, sondern auch Tiere. Sogar ein kleines Vögelchen. Die Interaktion mit Death war spannend, die Liebe zwischen Hellevirs Bruder und Calgir so schön, die Gefahren eine verordneten und mächtigen Staatsreligion deutlich, die Royals nicht zum Aushalten in ihrer Arroganz und Selbstsucht. Das. Einzige, das es für mich noch besser gemacht hätte, wäre, wenn Sulli ein Prinz statt einer Prinzessin gewesen wäre. Ist halt nicht ganz Cup of tea. Unbedingt lesen ....
