...med Malquin, took over their kingdom over night with the help of the Wraths and these three teens of royal blood barely escaped to find a solution to save their family and kingdom. Their lead is to find scrolls to open a portal back to their world but it proves to be a hard task than initially anticipated. Liv feels drawn to them unconsciously and that is the great mystery!
This story was incredibly compelling. I loved how the author made it so that the readers could both understand a little what foster children go through in the system as well as connect to children who have lost a parent and may be in the foster system/ adopted. A world of magic is spun into this other realm mixed with how Liv's parents died in a fire that is incredibly powerful and full of excitement! The more I read this book I felt I discovered more and more secrets and discoveries. I can't wait to read more of this book series as it has so much to add and grow. I really really loved how I was never bored with this book either.
