Prince Corin helps run a fairly happy kingdom, but one that is growing with superstitious disease. Things only get worse after the dragons select him to be the one to free them from the Emperor who enslaves them. Tam, a commoner with Powers she doesn't even know about, is staying at the Prince's castle for court. Once they met, they can't deny the chemistry between them. When war strikes, they have to band together in more than love to help free to dragons, save the kingdom, and hopefully still have their lives.

MOTH AND SPARK by Anne Leonard is a brilliant and stunning adult fantasy full of dragons, royalty, forbidden love, danger, and writing that will make you want to devour every page. From the first chapter, the world building is positively exquisite. The enriched political history and background of the characters are wonderfully detailed enough while never taking away from the action. The overall language and feel to the novel is simply delicious.

Prince Corin and Tam are such strong characters that work so well together. From Corin's sense of duty to his people to Tam's strength of mind, they are wonderfully complex and a joy to read about. I love how the two are constantly holding each other to the high standard they know they can reach. They always want to protect each other, but they also know they both have to face some battles on their own. They develop beautifully, and the powers they have and learn to use are so unique and interesting.

MOTH AND SPARK is hands down one of the best books I've read this year, and it's absolutely an addition to my favorite's shelf. With a mixture of Eragon, Game of Thrones, Cinderella, and buckets of original personality, Anne Leonard has written a fantasy you don't want to miss.
