Summary (Goodreads)
Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive. Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City’s most notorious crime boss. But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom.
Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor’s sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death. But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess—an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince.
Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being. Fortunately for Romeria, she is more valuable to him alive than dead. Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell, or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him.
Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape, a ruse that brings her far closer to the king than she anticipated and threatens more than her safety. As she digs deeper into this sacred garden and the ancient feud between Ybaris and Islor, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all.
She would know the world of vengeful gods and monsters, and the lengths one would go for love. And nothing would ever be the same for her again.

Review:
From the very first chapter I was instantly hooked! K.A. Tucker you have created a masterpiece with this one. Even after finishing A Fate of Wrath & Flame, I already wanted to read it again! As I'm writing this review, I'm having a hard time writing this because I didn't want it to end. I've always loved K.A. Tucker's books and this has been no exception, I loved all the characters especially Romeria and King Zander. Plus its about one of my favourite genres of enemies to lovers. If you loved From Blood and Ash, you will fall in love with this book as well. Also very glad for a pronunciation guide.
This story and world building is so well developed, I was so happy that K.A. Tucker has written another fantasy because she is a great author! You will really love Romeria, who is a mastered thief and is chosen to go to a different realm of opposing thrones and magic! She was such a fun character, that you can not help but go along for the ride. There were so many challenges for her throughout the entire book! I really loved how unique the story was, then throw in a beautiful slow-burn romance made me more consumed with the story.
Also the cover is gorgeous!! I absolutely love this cover!! Overall, you need to pick up A Fate of Wrath & Flame immediately and get ready to fall in love with the entire world that K.A. Tucker has built on May 25th! You will not regret it!
5/5
