No one can save her.
In order to protect Prince Lucien d’Malvane’s heart, Zera had to betray him. Now, he hates the sight of her. Trapped in Cavanos as a prisoner of the king, she awaits the inevitable moment her witch severs their magical connection and finally ends her life.
But fate isn't ready to give her up just yet.
With freedom coming from the most unlikely of sources, Zera is given a second chance at life as a Heartless. But it comes with a terrible price. As the king mobilizes his army to march against the witches, Zera must tame an elusive and deadly valkerax trapped in the tunnels underneath the city if she wants to regain her humanity.
Winning over a bloodthirsty valkerax? Hard. Winning back her friends before war breaks out? A little harder.
But a Heartless winning back Prince Lucien’s heart?
The hardest thing she’s ever done.
Review:
I’m not even gonna lie...this was a just a bit underwhelming for me in the beginning. So much so that I almost put the book down. I loved Bring Me Their Bones so much but I felt the sequel dragged at an alarming rate. Luckily, I don’t give up fast.
The story definitely picked up a bit more as it progressed. With the way the first book ended, you could bet that I was more than eager to get my hands on the second one. Zera has revealed who she is and Prince Lucien wants nothing to do with her.
Wolf’s writing is both lyrical and enchanting in every way that counts. Her books fill me with a sense of wonder and magic—for the sole fact that she can take me completely away from the world.
Zera is a strong and amazing character that I love. She’s still the same sarcastic girl with a heart of gold. Her life is definitely the kind you feel empathy for because it’s one that she was thrust into.
I can’t wait for the third book because again...THAT ENDING!

Have you read the first in the series Bring Me Their Hearts yet?
Blurb:
Zera is a Heartless – the immortal, unageing soldier of a witch. Bound to the witch Nightsinger ever since she saved her from the bandits who murdered her family, Zera longs for freedom from the woods they hide in. With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger’s control, she serves the witch unquestioningly.
Until Nightsinger asks Zera for a Prince’s heart in exchange for her own, with one addendum; if she’s discovered infiltrating the court, Nightsinger will destroy her heart rather than see her tortured by the witch-hating nobles.
Crown Prince Lucien d’Malvane hates the royal court as much as it loves him – every tutor too afraid to correct him and every girl jockeying for a place at his darkly handsome side. No one can challenge him – until the arrival of Lady Zera. She’s inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree, and out for his blood. The Prince’s honor has him quickly aiming for her throat.

So begins a game of cat and mouse between a girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all.
Winner takes the loser’s heart.
Literally.
