Title- Sworn to Raise
Series- Courtlight Series #1
By- Terah Edun
Genre- Young Adult, Fantasy, Coming of Age
Seventeen-year-old Ciardis has grown up in poverty, a
cleaner in a small vale on the outskirts of the empire. But beneath her
empire’s seemingly idyllic surface lies a hidden secret. Whispers of an inept
crown Prince are growing ever louder—intensified by the five year anniversary
of the soulbond initiations.
Amidst scandalous whispers, Ciardis finds herself chosen to
train for the Companion’s Guild. She leaves her home and sets off on a personal
journey to become a Court Companion. A position she’d never thought possible
for a lowly servant to obtain, she must prove that she has the skills to
attract a Patron.
But she must master those skills quickly. If the legends are
true, only Ciardis can harness the power to raise a Prince in an Imperial Court
sworn to bring him down.
This sensational series debut melds intricate storylines
with remarkable characters and unforgettable magic. Sworn To Raise is ideal for
fans of Kristin Cashore, Michelle Sagara, and Maria Snyder.

Wow this book is full of surprise, this was not what I was expecting, I love this series and I have read all three books and cant get enough of it. this book jumped right in where the second one left of,Ciardis finds herself in the North, right in the middle of the war, she being unconscious for the better part of three weeks, her mage core being drained extensively. she knows there's something wrong at the warfront, and is determined to find out what it is while simultaneously defending Sebastian, but she realized that Sebastian is not a boy anymore but a man, and oh what's that for, their feeling for each other become more deep throw their bond and their magic complementing each other.
We also get to meet new characters, Ciardis also get to meet her brother, and who his fighting for, Ciadis always felt alone in the world without a family, and the appearance of her brother means everything to her. She's desperate to find out more about him cause they are family and she want's to be closer to her brother.
I really wish I could write more but I don't want to spoil anything.
I hope that when you read this that you enjoy it and love it as much as I did.
