"Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.
Adelina Amouteru's heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she flees Kenettra with her sister to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her.
But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good when her very existence depends on darkness?"
My Rating: 4.5/5
I love a villain origin story. I love reading about characters you shouldn't root for and how they become who they are. Not that it justifies their actions but living in the villain's head is a wild ride. To know how these actions are clearly affecting others but also be able to see Adelina's thoughts behind her actions. The setting in this is interesting to me, with the different creatures and the different atmospheres.
I look forward to finishing the series soon.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
