Synopsis 

Fans of enemies-to-lovers romance and epic dragon-filled fantasy will be swept into Le Fay's Wings of Life, where duty, danger, and forbidden desire collide.


They cast me off to Rihtlond as a bride.


They don’t care if I come back alive.


Too sharp-tongued and too curious, I am my mother’s greatest lament and my father’s constant frustration. Unwilling to bow to their will, I’ve become expendable, worth sending on a mission doomed to fail.


Armed with nothing but a coded journal, a quill, and my wits, I’m thrust into the kingdom of our oldest enemy—a land of storms and warriors—to wed their high dane’s son. Trapped on their ruthless continent, I am no blushing bride. I’m a spy sent to unlock Rihtlond’s weaknesses… a cuckoo in the robin’s nest.


But my heart still bleeds red when the weaponmaster of these strange people steals it away. Through him, I learn to unlock their secrets. What I uncover is more dangerous than I ever imagined: magic thrumming in the roots of Rihtlond, a dragon hidden in plain sight, and a love I was never meant to feel. Holding this knowledge, I am meant to return home and bind myself to a future I was given long ago.


Now, as war rises and alliances crumble, I must choose between duty and desire, between the family who cast me aside and the bond that awakens who I truly am. To protect what I’ve found—and who I become—I must risk everything. Even if it brands me a traitor. Even if it costs me my life.


Review 


I received Wings Of Life in return for an honest review from Page & Vine. 


Serae is betrothed to a rival prince to form an alliance between two waring kingdoms. However, her father has other plans and sends her in to discover secrets and he will sweep her away before the wedding. The more time she spends with Wep the more she starts to question everything add in secret dragons that she's formed a connection with. She may not be able to betray the people she's come to care about. 


I love Serae as she's been forced into a marriage she didn't want and sent away from the only life she has known. Instead of rolling over she embraced it even forming a connection with a dragon and finding that maybe friendship and even romance. This is an action packed story from start to finish I was on the edge of my seat till the last page. 


I was hooked right from the very first page and devoured this book in just one long afternoon of reading. I couldn't put it down and had to know what was going to happen next in Serae's advantures as well as I needed more dragons. I am official obsessed with the authors storytelling it was beautifully written and stole a place in my heart. I can't wait for the next book to come out. Highly recommend if you are in your romantasy era as it checks all my boxes.

   About the Author: 
  I started writing the moment I could read. My first characters were Wibbley and Squig and I used MS Word and clipart to bring them to life when I was a kid in elementary school. I started seriously thinking about being a writer in High School and I remember the day exactly, because it was such an epiphany. I was always so uncertain. You know how everyone was always asking what you wanted to be when you were older? Well I NEVER could decide. I wanted to be a marine biologist. An actor. A FIRE FIGHTER (thank you Joaquin Phoenix in Ladder 49 for that phase). One day it hit me—A WRITER. I could do it ALL. Then you couldn’t stop me from writing. I penned my first novel at fifteen (but don’t ask me to show it to you, because it’s like I was in competition to beat the thesaurus). When I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, writing became even more important, because it became my therapy. When I wrote my characters, suddenly I wasn’t so alone. These days you can find me daydreaming about where to travel with my husband, singing in my car, or lost in the newest K drama. And planning my next novel, of course     Connect w/Mary Catherine: Website: https://www.marygebhard.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marycgebhard/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/YouOwnMeMCG/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marycgebhard/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marycgebhard Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8441964.Mary_Catherine_Gebhard Amazon: https://amzn.to/32yfz6B Bookbub: https://bookbub.com/profile/mary-catherine-gebhard Newsletter Signup: mcglinkinbio.subscribepage.io
