Clio became the last Oracle when her family has been killed by Mannix, the King of Sheehan's adviser. She inherited the Oracle's power by seeing the fate (except she can't see hers). She didn't really want to become the Oracle in the first place. To her it's a curse than an honor. With lack of training, she didn't know what to do and left with no choice, she has to survive by going to Morek, a place where Oracles are banned being sacrificed but she has to conceal her identity and pose as a slave. 
 While imprisoned, she met the highest ranked warrior, Riece. She's fascinated with him and instinct tells her this man isn't that ruthless. It seems the feeling is mutual as they're both drawn to each other. They shared some tension and have a good chemistry. However, she's afraid he'll know her true identity and possibly kill her. Clio is gaining strength and she kept seeing Visions of Mannix and his brutality. She must stop him once and for all but there goes a lot of conflicts that will challenge her on this journey. 
 I picked this book out on a whim as I try to break my fantasy genre slump. This debut novel is a good start. I like the author's writing style, the story is unique, the concept has a great potential and the fantasy elementa are elaborated in the simplest manner. For someone who hasn't read fantasy novels in a while, it's a good comeback (the first five chapters is quite challenging to get into but it started to pick up the pace afterwards). The characters have great character developments, especially Clio. The romance is good and I like it doesn't take over the entire story. It focuses more on its world and conflict. It wasn't over the top but it's still enjoyable.
