Having run off to study at Oden’s Ford, unknowingly Han bumps into Raisa, under the name of Rebecca Morley. But an old bond between them physically forces anything further to continue. The following books continue the story with more forbidden loves as Raisa and the head of her own guard, Amon, begin a fling. Raisa, however, refuses to upset the rest of the Queendom.

Wizards are forbidden to marry into the Gray Wolf line after the war but her mother and the High Wizard think this could be a new opportunity. A gift from the High Wizard’s son, Micah.

Meanwhile, one of the gifts is a little too charming. Wearing a new dress everyday, and accepting hundreds of gifts from her admirers and possible marriage candidates, she chooses to do good and offer up funding for those less fortunate at the local school. On the other side of the social spectrum, Raisa, the princess heir, deals with constant parties and balls. When that secret is revealed, it insights a huge test between Han and Bird since any love between them should now be forbidden. A big secret brews between Han and Dancer whilst a new relationship seems to blossom between Han and Bird. After fostering with the clans, Han (also known as Hunts Alone) deals with his friendship with best friends Dancer and Digging Bird. Running a gang isn’t quite as easy as some people think as he deals with a lot of harassment from the queen’s guard. The plot follows Han, head of a street gang and infamous heartthrob.

Three days later I was finished, longing for the second book ( The Exiled Queen) which I had to wait for. I decided it was time to trust that what they are reading is also something I might like and so last year, whilst in Dominican Republic I picked up The Demon King having no clue as to what it was. If I get through that then it’s highly likely the hotels or hostels where I am staying will have a small selection of books left by past travellers. I’ve now taken an oath with myself that if I do take any books, I only take one paperback and maybe a few on my phone/iPad Kindle app. I’ve always loved reading and I suppose I can read quite fast but there have been many times in the past where I’ve not even been able to complete one book because of how busy I’ve been on holiday. It’s becoming a thing now that when I go abroad I usually have to pack less so carrying around four or five books like I used to can no longer be done.
