With some further editing I think there could be a really good story here. But unfortunately I found it difficult to get through. The character development and story line felt rushed and also left me confused and rereading pages to see if I’d missed something. 

I found the main character Verona tiresome, and was often completely baffled by Lo and what was going on with him. 

The story ready very much like moments in both A touch of Darkness and A Court of Mist and Fury. 

With some more time spent on the world building and the characters development and interpersonal relationships I think it has potential.
