Zarya must become the darkness…

Soaring through the sky to the frozen mountains of Andhera, Zarya knows that only she can save her home from annihilation. Ruthless armies hunt her friends and toxic dark magic spreads through the land, consuming all it touches. To fight back, she and Rabin must find dangerous new allies.

In a palace of black marble, Zarya finally meets her father—the mysterious Raja Abishek. She approaches warily. For years she was told to fear this man, that he seeks to steal her power. But Abishek welcomes her with open arms, with gifts and lavish celebrations.

Rabin is sure the king can help them, turning the tide of war and decay. And when the magic binding Zarya’s heart to Rabin begins to fail, only Abishek can offer a cure. Zarya dreads the thought of placing their lives in his hands… But can she hesitate, when Rabin might be torn from her forever?

As Zarya makes her choice, ancient magic breaks loose, and her world shatters. In a ruined and long forgotten city, her love for Rabin will be tested to its limits. An army of shadows marches against her, destroying all in its path, and everything Zarya loves will be lost, unless she can face the darkness inside her—and release its devastating power.

An absolutely gripping fantasy romance that’s perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Carissa Broadbent, Queen of Shadows and Ruin is the epic final volume in the Nightfire Quartet.

MY REVIEW:

Queen of Shadows and Ruin by Nisha J. Tuli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The last book of the series and it did not disappoint. The story moved right along and kept me engaged the whole time.
Zarya finally meets her father, She wasn't sure what to think as she had been told for years that he was not a nice person at all. I didn't trust him and kept yelling at the book for her to be careful lol.
She did not tell him that Rabin and her were married. They wanted to wait for the right time. He raised Rabbin for quite a few years and was Rabin's mentor.
I loved Yasen ad Miraan. Miraan s a royal and Yasen doesn't think he is good enough for him but these 2 together were perfect.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for the book to review.
