Fantasy/to review

This book takes place during one night of chaos and blood. There are flashbacks, and more to tell about the world and how these two came to be.

Yash is a barbarian princess sent to marry prince Chej to save her kingdom. But he is not all he seemed to be. Lowest of them all, and does he even like women?

But promises are broken. This kingdom never meant to respect borders. And Yash is not the princess she seems to be either. She can become male, and in her country gender and whom people love does not matter. Mostly she is an assassin. She is meant to kill the masters of the towers and set free the spirits they have imprisoned so save her homeland.

So...blood, lots of blood, lots of killing, chaos. Darkness, and she does not give up. While her new husband is the quiet kind sort, he steps up.

It is a lot, that I confess. But it is only 1 book so a lot has to happen for everything to come to an conclusion. And I liked it

Good narration. I mean there are talking bugs, monsters, lots of different people. It all works well

ALONE AGAINST AN EMPIRE.

When Yash of Zeltah arrives in the fortress city of Honaq, she is greeted as a barbarian, a simple pawn. Her marriage to prince Chej has been arranged, they say, to avert war. Yet she knows the truth, for the armies already ravage the land.

A skilled and deadly assassin, there is more to Yash than any might suspect. Before another day can pass, she must defeat the masters of the nine towers—the plagues, magics, and monsters they control, the soldiers they command. Without raising an alarm, she must kill all who oppose her—even the immortal emperor. The lives and souls of Zeltah, the people and the land upon which they live, all depend on it.
