Saying first and foremost to definitely read the prequel, Sacrament and Smoke, as it gives you the background information and basis of the story.

This takes place some number of years after Sacrament and Smoke and Sorcha, the vessel for the Saint, is captured. She has a tattoo of the Saint's body piece locations on her body. The Wolf works for the Prince, who wants to bring the Saint back to life to revive his soon to be dead mother.

If you're familiar with Kathryn's fantasy writing it is fantastical, imaginative, and detailed. There were a few parts that dragged through for me, but overall I love following Sorcha and The Wolf as they collect pieces and slowly fall in love.

The combination of romance, fantasy, and a bit of horror and gore is a wonderful combination!
