Synopsis
Princess Naria has always preferred crafting medicines to wearing tiaras. Living in a secluded forest village, she studies healing after a huge fire destroyed her kingdom eighteen years ago. But when a gilded carriage arrives, her people rejoice while she reaches for her anxiety powder. The time has come for Naria to rejoin royal society and rebuild her fallen kingdom as a queen.
However, even her heaviest science books seem simple compared to life at the palace. Worse still, she’s being forced to marry the roguish Prince Lukas, who declares that Naria’s only use is to bear him heirs and that her kingdom should remain in ruins.
Determined to escape her engagement, Naria spends her nights sneaking away to the crystal-walled, underground realm of the faeries. Yet, while the faery prince might be willing to help her people, behind his charming looks lies a sinister obsession for his darling new princess. To deepen her troubles, the more Naria finds herself in heated exchanges with Lukas, the more she begins to fear she’s falling for the wrong prince.
Because only a selfish princess would fall for the one prince who has vowed to forever leave her kingdom in ruins.

Une très bonne surprise ! Des détails environnementaux, une écriture assez répétitive mais excellente lisibilité. Beaucoup de personnages très appréciables mais il m'a manqué un truc pour que je m'attache complètement à eux, rythme de l'histoire un peu trop rapide, comblé par certains moments très mignons et qui ralentissent positivement l'intrigue. Le final est très surprenant ! A recommander !
Une très bonne lecture. La plume est agréable et addictive. Les personnages sont intrigants et bien développés. Naria m'a pas mal fait penser à Evangeline (OUABH) ! Toute l'atmosphère nous fait croire être dans un véritable conte de fée. Malheureusement, j'ai deviné pas mal des plots-twists du roman — bien que cela fasse partie du charme des contes.
