Summary: Bound as one to love, honor, or burn.
Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned.
Sworn to the Church as a Chasseur, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. His path was never meant to cross with Lou’s, but a wicked stunt forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony.
The war between witches and Church is an ancient one, and Lou’s most dangerous enemies bring a fate worse than fire. Unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, a choice must be made.
And love makes fools of us all.
My Review: I want to say when I read this book I was in a severe reading slump. Like one of my worst ever! So take this with a grain of salt.
The plot seemed good. The witches really intrigued me. But because I wasn’t invested in the book I couldn’t keep the POVs straight and I got lost and confused easily.
Other than that I liked what I read but reading slumps really suck!
