Except that Jaoven, humbled by the war that elevated his rank, appears to have reformed, and the fate of both kingdoms now hinges on the disastrous union he’s about to make. The marriage could not be more poetic: each deserves the misery the other might inflict. The treaty will rid Iona of the toxic Lisenn, and the potential groom is none other than her erstwhile bully, Jaoven of Deraval. However, a promise of reprieve and retribution arrives when the neighboring kingdom of Capria proposes an alliance between their new crown prince and Wessett’s heir to the throne. So I went in to Deathmark with high expectations, especially since she described it as loosely inspired by the Blue Castle, another book I. I loved every single one of her retellings and all books in the Ruses of Lenore series. Her art and music provide refuge, but her cruel sister Lisenn ever lurks like a monster stalking its prey. Ever since I read the Heir and the Spare, I knew Kate Stradling would turn out to be one of my favourite authors. Tormented at home and bullied during her studies abroad, second-born Iona of Wessett hides in the quiet corners of her father’s castle. Digitally printed, with excellent print and paper qualityĪn evil princess, a ruthless persecutor, a wretched match.
