GOODREAD’S BOOK DESCRIPTION
Swallow, Daughter, pull them in, those words that sit upon your lips. Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them ‘til they’ve time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, ‘til the hour. You won’t speak and you won’t tell, you won’t call on heav’n or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, Daughter. Stay alive.
The day my mother was killed, she told my father I wouldn’t speak again, and she told him if I died, he would die too. Then she predicted the king would trade his soul and lose his son to the sky.
My father has a claim to the throne, and he is waiting in the shadows for all of my mother’s words to come to pass. He wants desperately to be king, and I just want to be free.
But freedom will require escape, and I’m a prisoner of my mother’s curse and my father’s greed. I can’t speak or make a sound, and I can’t wield a sword or beguile a king. In a land purged of enchantment, love might be the only magic left, and who could ever love . . . a bird?
REVIEW
You don't need wings to fly.
This is my first book of Amy Harmon. I am a fan of Fantasy Books and this book is really wonderful. The story is told in the POV of the heroine, who's name is Lark. Lark's mother has a great power in her words and Lark inherited this power. The gifted are prosecuted in their land so, the mother is not allowing Lark to use her power freely. After the brutal death of her mother, Lark became mute because her mother cursed her to stay silent for her won safety.
Swallow, Daughter, pull them in, those words that sit upon your lips. Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them ‘til they’ve time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, ‘til the hour. You won’t speak and you won’t tell, you won’t call on heav’n or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, Daughter. Stay alive.
Years later King Tiras claim her to become her prisoner because King Tiras is demanding something to Lark's father. I really love Tiras and Lark's story. The romance is flawed and perfect. I highly recommended this for fantasy book fans.
I am not a sword. I don't want to be a weapon.
You are what you are. I am what I am. It matters little what we want.
