Historia
Magic has been outlawed for almost a century, and anyone caught wielding it or bearing its mark is executed. Which is why I know every day could be my last. I'm marked for death. My skin bears the branding of the moon. I just thank the stars that it's not somewhere visible. For one night, I willingly put myself in danger, picking a stranger to lose myself in before I begin my life of servitude to the crown as a member of the King's Guard. But the man I thought was a stranger turns out to be the Blade of the King, Thorn, my new boss.

It has potential! But overall, it was very dry. When you cut out all the layers it’s really about a girl who is relentlessly bullied for sleeping with her boss. At least, that was the main focus of this story. And it’s not like the “reason” is all that wild either. The other guards are upset because she’s sleeping with their boss…. Ok? Why did that take an entire book to convey to us? Being beaten in the bathroom, and locked in the tower was about 60% of the book. Perhaps the next few will dive into the actual magic part.
The previous review also has a valid point. There is no actual reason why this lady had to join the kings guard. Especially if she is literally marked for death and Is well aware it grows bigger every month??Her magic “sister” works in the castle so she wants to protect her ok sure, but why does she need a body guard to be a librarian again? Because she’s performing magic in the castle? But why is she doing that in the first place if it’s that dangerous? Can magic touched not resist the pull of magic after a certain amount of time? Do they die if they don’t cast a spell or something? Why would a king who apparently doesn’t think woman can fight call a literal woman to his castle to personally defend him? And if it’s well known that these marks mean someone is moon touched, wouldn’t they at least check if a guard has one before assigning them to protect king??? Apparently the most important assignment in the world? Uh?
This needs a bit more development and then I think it would be an amazing story. Give us readers a better understanding of the WHY behind her decisions and you might have gold.
