Summaryįeared and despised for the sinister power in her veins, Alyce wreaks her revenge on the kingdom that made her an outcast. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. While the action kept me reading, what truly entranced me was the romance. ![]() But Misrule is a complete departure from what you might know and it was fantastic.
