Book Rating:⭐ 9/10

Spicy Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️4/5

Marketed as “blistering hot romance,” “highly addicting enemies-to-lovers romantasy,” and widely tagged as high-heat with multiple explicit scenes—but still more plot-heavy than pure erotica.

Description:
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is a thief eking out a living in a brutal desert city, hiding strange magical powers and a past she can’t remember. When she steals the wrong artifact—a cursed silver sword—Saeris is yanked through a portal into Yvelia, an icy fae realm ruled by deadly Courts, where she becomes entangled with Kingfisher, a ruthless, infuriatingly charming fae warrior and heir to a dangerous throne. Bound by bargains, ancient prophecies, and a key that can open a world-ending gate, Saeris and Kingfisher are forced into an enemies-to-lovers partnership full of razor-sharp banter, political intrigue, monsters, and scorching attraction that could either save their realms…or destroy them.

Trope/Mood:
Enemies to lovers; fae prince MMC; morally gray, traumatized assassin/thief FMC; portal from desert world → icy fae realm; forced proximity and reluctant allies; found family crew; prophecy/chosen-one vibes; action-packed, banter-heavy, dark, and high-spice romantasy with big cinematic feel (now in development at Netflix).
