In love with a girl from school
and the man hired to torture her, Einan is sent reeling when she thinks them
dead. Destitute, she finds herself responsible for protecting children left
uncared for in the wake of the Cedesian War.
Poor children are disappearing
all over the city. While struggling to keep them safe, Ein accidentally sparks
a rebellion. Will love find her again in the chaos or will she die a martyr?

Ein starts with a sultry scene
that immediately hooked me. The characters were believable right from the
beginning. They had contrasting lives but common goals which made for a strong
foundation. The plot became completely unpredictable after the second chapter.
I knew from that point that I would adore this book.
Ein’s story goes from one
extreme to the next, and her romance is not limited to one sex or the other.
The creativity with which Sorcha Black writes the sexual encounters had me
flipping several pages back just to reread them. It seems each scene was at
least a couple pages long, and that in itself was a treat.
Most importantly, Ein had an
amazing and intricate plot. The amount of thought Black put into the story
shows through the details. Ein is a strong matriarchal character who uses her
station in life for activism. Some of the situations in which she finds herself
are really intense and may be too much for some readers, but lent to the
realism of the story.
I was incredibly impressed by
the story, the characters, and the romance. I would definitely recommend Ein to
fellow romance readers.
I received a copy in exchange
for my honest review. I was not compensated for my review.
