Heart of Stone
Part of the Odium Trilogy Universe
by Sam Ledel
Maeve’s quiet life of isolation has kept her from the outside world—as a gorgon, she has to protect herself and others. Princess Keeva Glantor is proud to be a member of Uterni’s royal family. But her mother’s health is failing quickly, and Keeva’s life of ease is turned upside down.
On a hunt for the key to keeping Uterni’s queen on the throne, Keeva meets Maeve. The princess is intrigued by the lone woman in the fen, but she has her own mission to complete and no time for anything, or anyone.
Maeve yearns to believe she has a chance at a regular life and is curious enough to push the boundaries of what she’s always known, revealing a deception that has kept her a pariah in a world she fears as much as it fears her.
Both must unravel lies and come face-to-face with the truth to create a future they can call their own, perhaps even one that includes each other.
5 out of 5 fairies
A beautiful story that will find its way into your heart, and draw you into an unforgettable fantasy world. I love getting to see the story unfold from both Keeva and Maeve’s perspectives. They’re unique, interesting characters, and by the end I feel like I know them both so well. Ledel does a great job of drawing the reader in, and spinning an interesting tale that will keep you turning pages long after you meant to go to bed. There were times I just wanted to speed read ahead to find out what would happen next. If you enjoy fantasy stories with a sapphic romance woven in, you’re going to love this book!
