Book 3
“Her calm, beautiful, peaceful colony had been turned into a war zone.”
Amullette, after years on the run, has been captured by the Universal… the same people who assassinated her father years prior, after being accused of treason.
She spends her days in prison isolation, thinking of that horrible day when her world fell apart, till one day the Universal offers to grant her parole, under very odd conditions.
Amullette is told of a young girl, Mikaya, who is very important to the outcome of the war between the Rebellion and the Universal. Mikaya is not of this earth, and she needs protection. Amullette is called upon to raise the girl, along with her ex-fiance, Admiral Kroan. Under these conditions, Amullette is granted parole.
Amullette is taken to a holo-tech room, which can transform into whatever environment one wishes. This is her temporary home.
“This is the perfect place to leave your past behind you and begin anew.”
Amullette is forced into an arranged marriage, and instructed to teach a little girl to love the Universal she hates. She balances herself in a world that isn’t real… all in an attempt for freedom.
“On the surface it is parole, but in reality, it’s a real chance to make a difference. Not for us, but for them.”
Leave it to me…. I read the third book in the series, first. However, I feel that Amullete Aflame can be read as a stand-alone, because there is enough of a back-story in the beginning to catch you up to what is going on.
I loved this story. It is a perfect blend of dystopian fantasy and romance, with a heck of a cliffhanger! This novel also has me intrigued about the other books in the Princess X series.
One of my favorite elements of this novel is the holo-tech room! Amullette created a beautiful, wild paradise around herself, which is exactly what I would’ve done. Dive into this novel and experience the holo-tech room for yourself, and I guarantee you, you won’t be disappointed!
Treat yourself! Purchase on Amazon, here.
