A
couple of weeks ago, I was stolen from my home and forced to take part
in an ancient fae ceremony; only someone made a mistake because I'm not
fae, and if Winter's Prince finds out, I'm dead.
When an
unexpected twist suddenly narrows the Royal Selection to a razor's edge,
the best that I can do is put my head down and try to survive, but the
Prince has other plans.
Part of me screams for me to keep him at
arm's length, but the other part draws me closer to the brutally
gorgeous fae, and it's going to get me killed.
He thinks I'm his
soulmate, but that's impossible because I'm not even supposed to be
here. So, why am I infuriatingly attracted to him? I need answers, only
to get them, I'll have to play with fire and hope it doesn't burn us
both alive.
Stolen is the second installment in author Katerina Martinez's The Coldest Fae series. Dahlia is
a human seamstress raised by three mages after she was orphaned by unknown parents. In the first installment, Dahlia was stolen by Fae to participate
in a competition called the Royal Selection against women who have worked hard all their lives in order to win the competition. The winner gets to marry Prince Cillian Wolfsbane & become the commander of the Winter
Courts military.
She has to pretend to be Fae or be killed on sight for being
a human in a very anti-human race of people. She also has
to go through trials against fae warriors who are much more skilled than she is, including her new roommate Mareen. Thanks to her best friend Guillie, a pixie, as well as Mira who has made Dahlia look Fae, she's managed to make it through challenges with luck and even saved a fellow contestant, Aronia, who is the daughter of the Kings Guard. One of this books first challenges forces Dahlia to face her own fears.
"Before you can defeat an enemy in battle, you must face and defeat your own fears."
Meanwhile, Dahlia is drawn to Cillian whenever she's around him. The foreplay between the two characters is sizzling hot just waiting to explode. Yet, there is no sex scenes. But there's also a huge issue. Dahlia has started seeing a difference in Cillian. He goes from being aggressive, to adoring. Dahlia is
also avoiding the truth about things that are happening to her. She's found something inside of her that she didn't know existed. As the competition moves forward, Dahlia is more danger than she
knows.
As Dahlia finds herself getting deeper and deeper into the challenge, and the typical mean girls make things even harder for her, Dahlia learns about a prophecy that may have everything to do with her.
“When the snow turns
black and red, and brother turns against brother, upon the light of the
full moon shall come the tath isia to bring light into the darkness.”
She also learns a huge, no spoilers, secret about herself that could make things quite interesting as the series progresses. I plan on continuing this series until it is finished. There are so many questions remaining including who Dahlia's parents are, what other abilities she may have and how she can help save Cillian.
