The Silver Kingdom
Book Review
I adored this book because it was an immersive and magical read
The Silver Kingdom is about Princess Layla of Sawan and Prince Zayd of Dakaria. Layla is plagued by a power-hungry mother who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Soon, Layla discovers that she possesses the same magic as the mages her mother once slaughtered.
Meanwhile, Zayd begins trying to negotiate with the mages in order to save his kingdom. Eventually, Layla and Zayd meet and feel an undeniable connection. However, they are both betrothed to other people, even though their hearts seem destined for each other. Unfortunately, that is far from their only problem.
Personally, I adored this book because it was an immersive and magical read. I especially enjoyed the magic system because it was unique and well-developed. The plot twists kept me engaged throughout the story, and the cover is absolutely beautiful.
I would recommend this book to fans of epic fantasy, romance, political intrigue, and magical worlds.
About the Book
Sparks fly when Prince Zayd, fresh from defending the borders of Dakaria meets Princess Layla of Sawan, determined to run away from her cruel, power-hungry mother. But the young royals must marry to build alliances, not for love. As Layla and Zayd struggle between their hearts and their duties, a centuries-old prophecy is set into motion, calling upon a magical saviour to bring the mages out of exile.
When Layla discovers she has latent powers, ones she begins to fear and must keep hidden, and Zayd begins to secretly negotiate with the mages, the young royals’ paths become irreversibly intertwined.
But the kingdoms are divided, still suffering from the fallout of colonial rule, and peace between them is fragile. Could Layla be the key to finally uniting the lands, or will forbidden love plunge the lands into a devasting war?
