I was Penellaphe of Castle Teerman, Kin of the Balfours, and the Queen’s favorite. I was the Maiden. Chosen.
I tried to prenounce Penellaphe at several times but my tongue literally tied. Interesting and compelling choice for heroine name. Chosen part intrigued me. Let's move on to see what makes our heroine so special!

“Because everyone should be able to live a little, even for a few hours.”

And I had no excuse other than wondering what often made him pace like a caged cave cat. Hawke was always in pain.

Not the physical kind. It was deeper than that, feeling like chips of sharp ice against my skin. It was raw and it felt never-ending.
Here comes my favorite kind of tarnished but not broken hero type! Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you the charismatic Hawke (another interesting name choice reminding us Ethan Hawke!)

The Craven were creations of the Atlantians, the product of their poisonous kiss, which acted like an infection, turning innocent men, women, and children into starved creatures whose body and mind became twisted and decayed by ceaseless hunger.

“Half of her face is a masterpiece,” the Duke murmured, and my skin flashed cold and then hot as my stomach twisted. “The other half a nightmare.”
Meet the Duke: one of the detestable characters you want to turn into punch bag!

Hawke’s gaze remained fastened on mine as he stepped forward. “Both halves are as beautiful as the whole.”
That’s the line earned our hero several brownie points!

it a heavy, coarse blanket of shame, and a cloak constructed of embarrassment. But with Hawke, even in the short time I’d known him, I didn’t feel alone. Could it be simply his presence? When he was in a room, he seemed to become the center of it. Or was it more? I couldn’t deny that I was attracted to him, forbidden or not.
Great definition loneliness and the best way to fulfill it! I already started to chant for TEAM PENKE!

And your scars? They are a testament to your fortitude. They are proof of what you survived. They are evidence of why you are here when so many twice your age wouldn’t be. They’re not ugly. Far from it. They’re beautiful, Poppy.”
I want to give a long hug to Hawke! He’s so close to be at my top ten best romance book boyfriends list!

He was going to take me back—to that room where I was the Maiden, the Chosen. Back to where I wasn’t Poppy but a shadow of a person who wasn’t allowed to experience, need, live, or want. I would no longer be who he saw.

He touched my cheek with his fingers. “I hope you realize that no matter what anyone has ever told you, you are more worthy than anyone I’ve ever met.” My heart squeezed in the best way. “You haven’t met enough people, then.”
Another classic Hawke moment increase my adoration for him! 🌈

“Because he wants you even though he knows better, even though he knows it will end in yet another tragedy.”
