Bookseller Review

Prophecies are always tricky things, and this story has them in abundance! Set on earth somewhere in the future (I think?) There is a war, and one side has a highly contagious fever that is fatal if you are infected – but you might come back to life! Elegy Ahn and Rava Vidar are from different sides, but both seem to be at the heart of a prophecy that could end the war, but which of them is it really about? With twist after twist, this epic fantasy feels destined to be remembered as one of the greats! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this book since I finished reading it. It manages to blend dystopian with sci-fi and have the best slow burn romance I’ve read in a long time! I literally had goosebumps!

Description

From Veronica Roth, the legendary author of the Divergent series, Seek the Traitor’s Son is a dazzling, epic tale of war, fate and devastating love.

The daughter of a bounty hunter.
The knight sworn to protect her.
And the prophecy that destroys their lives . . .

Elegy Ahn did not ask for destiny to find her. She’s a soldier defending her small country against a powerful enemy: the Talusar, who worship a Fever that brings death to everyone it touches . . . except those who it resurrects, forever changed. Rava Vidar is a Talusar general with a reputation for cruelty and triumph. And when Elegy and Rava first meet, it’s to hear a prophecy that could apply to either of them.

The prophecy declares that either one of them could carry their people to victory. But at the center of both of their fates is a man. A man who, Elegy is told, will bring her death. A man she’ll fall in love with. With two nations at stake, she and Rava are destined to collide. And when they do, only one will be left standing. Elegy intends to make sure it’s her.

An extraordinary epic begins.
