KINGDOMS WILL RISE AND FALL FOR HER...
BUT NOT IF SHE CAN HELP IT

Catalia "Cat" Fisa lives disguised as a soothsayer in a traveling circus. She is perfectly content avoiding the danger and destiny the Gods-and her homicidal mother-have saddled her with. That is, until Griffin, an ambitious warlord from the magic-deprived south, fixes her with his steely gaze and upsets her ...

Loved it from start to finish!

Constant action! Cat is fierce,Darcy and kick ass!!
She goes from strength to strength, being kidnapped to falling in love she bitches and gripes like a pro! I loved watching her evolve and find a family she never expected! The Greek gods and mythology are just an extra bonus. Amanda has each character perfect. Looking forward to book 2!
Highly recommended

I love the world I enter reading this book. This is the second time I have read this book, and I can say I loved it just as much. The first time I read it I absolutely loved it, then watched the movie and hated it because it wasn’t as good as the book, typical for 11-13-year-old me. I later learned to LOVE the movie. Re-reading it allowed me to compare the two a little more clear-headed and I have to say that despite differences the tone is caught in the film. I love everything about this book, characters, setting, plot, magic… It is so much fun, and I get completely sucked it. This time I am planning on reading the remainder of this series.

Prince. Prodigy. Mage. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Falling Kingdoms, and Tamora Pierce.

This prequel novella is set before the events of The Black Mage series. Novella follows Prince Darren as a child through adolescence and his first run-in with Ryiah at the Academy of Magic. Readers discover the dark backstory between the two princes and their father, as well as the ensuing events that shaped Darren into the Academy’s most illustrious mage.

I found this just in time I was about to start First year. I found the king's treatment of his boys so awful I struggled with the violence of it (think it's the mum in me lol). I'm excited to see where this story goes as a prequel it was pretty good. Think I'm going to like this series.
