Really really fantastic and addictive. It keeps getting better and better. 
 Spoilers ahead.......Do not read anymore if you have not read the book or the previous one 
 So this book picks up right from Jonas' pov as a rebel where he is observing King Guius make an important and shocking announcement. The king has decided that Cleo will not marry Aaron but Magnus instaed. I did not see that coming but I got really excited when I read this where by now one will know that I am a strong Magleo shipper. 
 and Cleo 
 Lucia is still unconcious after she used her magic so violently in the last book. She is having strange dreams from a watcher, Alexius, whom she seems to be falling for. Magnus is saddened still by how she reacted to his statement made from book 1 and where their relationship currently is. 
 The road is ment to be built and the blood of the scorceress will lead to the kindred. Everyone wants the kindred for themselves. Somehow Cleo alligns herself with the rebels in order to get back her kingdom. She feeds them information and as her wedding to the Prince draws closer she dreads it and the rebels have certain plans but as usual they fail. Meanwhile Cleo tries to figure out who the real Magnus is when he is not trying to please his father. The wedding does take place and it is a disaster. 
 Lysandra is a new character introduced where she is a rebel. She is enigmatic and not really the ladylike type. She quickly takes a liking to Jonas Agallaon.This book has so much going on that it is very hard to get every thing without getting readers bored. All in all it keeps getting better and it was awesome. My new favourite series. Wow wow....
