About this eBook

“At once fresh, at once classic, Onyx and Ivory is a page-turning blend of monsters, magic, and romance.” —Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of Truthwitch

Acclaimed author Mindee Arnett thrusts readers into a beautiful, dangerous, and magical world in this stunningly epic and romantic fantasy for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sarah Raasch.

They call her Traitor Kate. It’s a title Kate Brighton inherited from her father after he tried to assassinate the high king of Rime.

Cast out of the nobility, Kate now works for the royal courier service. Only the most skilled ride for the Relay and only the fastest survive, for when night falls, the drakes—deadly flightless dragons—come out to hunt. Fortunately, Kate has a secret edge: She is a wilder, born with forbidden magic that allows her to influence the minds of animals.

And it’s this magic that leads her to a caravan massacred by drakes in broad daylight—the only survivor Corwin Tormaine, the son of the king. Her first love, the boy she swore to forget after he condemned her father to death.

With their paths once more entangled, Kate and Corwin must put the past behind them to face this new threat and an even darker menace stirring in the kingdom.

Ratings and reviews

Honestly this could have been such a good book, but it was almost like the author looked up words in the thesaurus just to make the book more interesting. It was really unnecessary, as a lot of normal words and regular writing is still good enough. Also, some of the transitional sentences were confusing or just written awkwardly. I stumbled over them, so it was a little hard to figure out what was happening. Dialogue was almost unnecessary as well, a lot of the characters didn't add anything except maybe to add a casual effect, which again, was unnecessary.

Kept mw interested from start to.finish with a twist I didn't expect! Hope for a sequel

Great read, definitely drawn into the characters and the journey! Wish for a more satisfying ending, maybe a sequel??
