Heart’s Escape by Meredith Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alindra is a magician for the Kingdom of Summer, she is young, talented and imprisoned, she is terrified for her life and she is desperate to get away, so she makes a plan to leave and packs a few belongings so that when she does leave, it won’t be obvious to start with. Phaedron is a man who has been through a lot, as a child he was sent to the Land Below with his mother, but it was to escape something worse than death, but that is when his challenges began and his losses, but he trudges on and tries to achieve his dreams, but this is not to be and when he loses his arm and then his brother.

Phaedron hatches a plan to go to the Kingdom of Summer and steal away a magician who will be able to help him rescue his brother, however, when he steps through the portal, it doesn’t go quite as expected. When the night comes that Alindra has prepared for, she is checking that she has got everything she needs when suddenly a portal opens in her tiny room and a man step through it, so when he asks her to go with him back through the portal, she is shocked, but she agrees. This is where every plan both have made shatters when the portal closes behind them, neither of them can believe what just happened, but Alindra immediately goes back to her plan A and hustles Phaedron out of her room and to another escape route promising that she will meet him the next day.

This is where the challenges soon begin again, as both travel to their last resort way to get away, this is where Phaedron explains about why he needs her to go with him, who has imprisoned his brother and where, he also asks Alindra why she wants to get away, so as they both lay out their truth, can they learn to trust each other enough to complete their missions, or will there be more challenges along the way and can they really trust each other, knowing they are on different sides of the same war? This is an adventure across kingdoms where opposites must work together, magic is everywhere and trust is hard to find, not to mention attraction and forbidden feelings, it is a heady mix you will not want to miss out on.
