Selene Ravenwood, once the heir to House Ravenwood, is now an exile. On the run and free of her family's destiny, Selene hopes to find the real reason her family was given the gift of dreamwalking. But first she must adapt to her new life as wife to Lord Damien Maris, the man she was originally assigned to kill.
While adjusting to her marriage and her home in the north, her power over dreams begins to grow. As the strongest dreamwalker to exist in ages, her expanding power attracts not only nightmares but the attention of the Dark Lady herself.
With a war looming on the horizon and a wicked being after her gift, Selene is faced with a choice: embrace the Dark Lady's offer, or search out the one who gave her the gift of dreamwalking. One path offers power, the other offers freedom. But time is running out, and soon her choice will be made for her.
My Thoughts:
I knew going in that this book was going to be fantastic
from the way book one ended. I mean wowza. And it didn't disappoint.
I love character driven stories and this is certainly one. I
adore Selene and Damien. They were like family and I didn’t want anybody to be
mean to them. And I didn’t want any disrespect on Taegis either, counselor,
guardian, and matchmaker.
Like in the first book, I really enjoyed the world building
and details of the political families and their houses.
Where the first book was much more fantasy, this was much
more romance. I do wish that there was some more action, and the ending was a
bit anticlimactic. Still I was never bored and the next book looks like it will
more than make up in the action department.
Content:
Not much, a fade to black scene between a married couple as
well as insinuations of their relationship. Mild violence and some slightly
creepy demonic stuff (as showed in contrast to the Light- it never bothered me
but it might make more sensitive readers uncomfortable).
This was a solid second installment in this series. I am
invested in this world and these characters' happiness. I can't wait for book
three!
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was
not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

Lady Selene is the heir to the Great House of Ravenwood and the secret family gift of dreamwalking. As a dreamwalker, she can enter a person’s dreams and manipulate their greatest fears or desires. For the last hundred years, the Ravenwood women have used their gift of dreaming for hire to gather information or to assassinate.
As she discovers her family’s dark secret, Selene is torn between upholding her family’s legacy–a legacy that supports her people–or seeking the true reason behind her family’s gift.
Her dilemma comes to a head when she is tasked with assassinating the one man who can bring peace to the nations, but who will also bring about the downfall of her own house.
One path holds glory and power, and will solidify her position as Lady of Ravenwood. The other path holds shame and execution. Which will she choose? And is she willing to pay the price for the path chosen?
