The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Monday we had a relaxing day for the most part. I did end up taking Big Girl to the doctor that afternoon for a wart on her foot. Bless her! I've never had to deal with a wart personally so I feel bad for her. Tuesday, we did our normal grocery pickup and went swimming after lunch. Wednesday, we had a short playdate with some friends who came to swim. Thursday, we went to my parent's house. I had a dentist appointment and had to run to that. And then Friday was a mostly normal day. We went for a short walk. Since Big Girl is dealing with pain in her foot I didn't want to walk long, but the weather was so nice that I didn't want to pass it up either. We did go swimming, but the water was almost cold from the lower temps and tons of rain we've had over the last two weeks.

Goodreads description--A lost queen’s sacrifice. Two kingdoms at war for centuries. And a spark of passion between hunter and hunted with the power to end everything…The shadow magic has always whispered to Wren. The same dark power that once ravaged her home kingdom of Asteroth. So she must keep her magic hidden, only using it to help people in need in the remote border village she calls home. Discovery of her gifts would mean death.
Noble knight Finn has sworn to serve his new home, Asteroth, by hunting down those who use shadow magic. He has never forgiven his father, ruler of enemy kingdom Ilanthus, for his terrible cruelty. Spying for Asteroth in his own father’s royal court is his revenge – and carrying a warning of raiding parties on the move, Finn is passing through Wren’s small town…
When terrible creatures in the nearby forest attack him, Wren risks exposing her magic and saves his life. But as they touch, burning desire takes over. And Wren’s magic floods through them both.
As the power fades, Wren and Finn’s wariness of each other returns, even with a new bond between them. But there’s no time to untangle their feelings from the seductive call of the magic. Because with enemy soldiers crossing the border, dark days are coming to Asteroth…
Their fates now entwined, can Wren and Finn learn to trust each other to save their kingdom? Or will they be the key to its destruction?
