The Songbird and the Heart of Stone

by Carissa Broadbent

Our rating

Spice 3/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: moderate. Darkness: dark.

Mische, the sunny one from book two, gets her own story opposite Asar, a brooding Shadowborn warrior with a grudge. Grumpy and sunshine stuck on a journey together, with Broadbent's usual gorgeous gloom.
