After two years, Knight Savaric Fitz Leonard never thought he would see Marguerite Studdal, the woman who has haunted him since he walked away from her, letting her believe that he was not interested in her, which was far from the truth. As a biracial man, he has often been the object of bigotry and prejudice, so despite his attraction to her, he believes by pushing her away, he is protecting her from the abuse his heritage will cause her. But now she is here and to add insult to injury, she saves him when he was attacked as he was going to return to where he had seen her last to save her. He is floored to learn that she is in service to Hubert de Burgh, the man Savaric and his fellow Knights of Fortitude have sworn fealty to. He is even more dismayed to learn that his fellow knights knew she was working for Hubert and kept the knowledge from him. Now to protect the Crown from the threat of the Duo Dracones, they will have to work together, will he be able to walk away again?

After Savaric left her, Marguerite made a deal with Hubert de Burgh, she will work for him to bring down the Duo Dracones and in exchange, he will posthumously absolve father’s name as a traitor to the crown and return his title and confiscated lands to her brother. She is not the same woman that Savaric walked away from, she is no longer the innocent, timid lady he knew, after two years working undercover in Paris she is a cunning, dangerous agent who can take care of herself. And while she is still attracted to him, she won’t make the same mistake of trusting him with her heart again. Working together, they begin to unravel the mystery of Duo Dracones and grow closer as they do. Will they finally give in to their feelings or will the past repeat itself?

This was such a wonderful book, it is well-written, perfectly paced, and filled with intrigue. I loved this story, I was impressed by Marguerite and felt a lot of compassion for Savaric – it was very easy to get invested in and root for their journey to HEA. The story is filled with secrets, evil sects, wonderful secondary characters, cameos from previous characters, lots of sexual tension, and finally a HEA that didn’t seem possible. This is the third and final book in the series and while the author gives enough backstory to read this book as a standalone, do yourself a favor and read the series in order – believe me, it will make the ending so much more satisfying!
