Goodreads
A lush and gorgeously written debut, packed with action, intrigue, and a thrilling love triangle.
Alexa Hollen is a fighter. Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alex uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alex, who is virtually unbeatable, can't prevent him from abducting her, her fellow guard and friend Rylan, and Prince Damian, taking them through the treacherous wilds of the jungle and deep into enemy territory.
The longer Alex is held captive with both Rylan and the prince, the more she realizes that she is not the only one who has been keeping dangerous secrets. And suddenly, after her own secret is revealed, Alex finds herself confronted with two men vying for her heart: the safe and steady Rylan, who has always cared for her, and the dark, intriguing Damian. With hidden foes lurking around every corner, is Alex strong enough to save herself and the kingdom she's sworn to protect?

Alexa remains by the newly crowned King Damian’s side as his guard, ever committed to helping him rebuild Antion and reclaim the hope of Antion’s people, despite continuing to harbor a secret love for him. However, when another threat to Damian and his kingdom emerges, and blame is cast on their newly forged allies from Blevon, Alexa knows things are not what they seem. With the fate of her nation hanging in the balance once again, will Alexa be able to protect her king and uncover the true enemy — before it’s too late?

I LOVE the trailer! I love how it’s got castles and fire and all you want in a fantasy. And it’s awesome how you get her backstory and also a little of what she’ll have to go through just in a few minutes.
LOVE the music as well 🙂
Lovely trailer! 🙂

Just in case rafflecopter shows my location outside US, I’m doing a semester abroad and would use my regular US address.

I read (and liked, but didn’t LOVE) Defy, so I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read Ignite. After the book trailer, I am convinced I should give it a chance!

I’m not sure how I feel about the cinematography, but I love the voiceover. The overall feel fits the book well.
I’m lucky to have an eARC of Ignite via Edelweiss. I can’t wait to start reading it!
