What he’s done ten years ago had Jules and her father expelled from Everless. Liam is Roan’s brother and he’s always been known for his cruelty. She despises the Gerlings especially Liam. He was her childhood friend/crush before the Gerling family evicted them.
Jules had her heart crushed thinking about Roan marrying someone else.
Jules wants to save him and she’ll take her chance to go back to Everless to help prepare the wedding of Roan Gerling with the Queen’s daughter. They’ve been chased from Everless ten years ago and her father is slowly dying as he keeps giving his blood to feed her.
What was missing for me to connect fully with her I still have no clue! Jules was a loveable heroine but I would have loved knowing her even better. This is a very small and short version of the tale but it’s crucial to understand this universe.Īs the summary says: “The rich live for centuries the poor bleed themselves dry.” She was immortal and he stole her immortality as well as her heart. Somehow the Alchemist tricked the Sorceress. They caused this strange phenomenon with living blood being turned into coins. The world is filled with myths and tales on the Sorceress and the Alchemist. This is another kind of social classes battle. Of course you’ve got it: the poor sell their lifetime and the rich can live eternally. How many stories do you know about people whose blood can be drawn and their living time goes down with it? Their blood is melted into coins? Said coins can be drunk when poured into some liquid and give more living time to the drinker. I was lucky to get an ARC of Everless in my Fairyloot box.Īs the book was so hyped and promoted everywhere I could not wait to read it!Įverless is a very original story build on a brand-new world at least one I had never read about before. Her decisions have the power to change her fate-and the fate of time itself. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she’d never see again. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.īut going back to Everless brings more danger-and temptation-than Jules could have ever imagined. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night.
No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries. In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency-extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan.
