Goodreads Synopsis:

As Acting Queen, one of Sariphi's duties is to soothe and comfort the citizens of Ozmargo. Embarking on a journey for this purpose, Sariphi is joined by Randbert, the Captain of the Royal Bodyguards. Randbert's words and actions are anything but royal, and they shake everyone's faith in him...everyone besides Sariphi. But when Lord Brown, the local governor, is attacked, suspicion falls on Randbert. Will Sariphi's trust be enough to clear him? And after being separated from Leonhart for so long, what awaits Sariphi when they're reunited?

Review:

It's to no one's surprise that we see Lante's sad backstory in this volume. And it's, unsurprisingly, truly awful. Which makes how hard Sariphi stands up for him all the more right, as she always sees the good hidden inside people.
Once all of that wraps up, we get some sweetness between Sari and Leo. Their relationship is growing ever closer, and it's sweet and heartwarming, and necessary as their relationship gets more serious and Sari gets closer to being accepted as queen.
There's a little break at the end of the volume, as we get a chapter solely for Ilya. He's still hating on beasts, and then stumbles upon the sweetest little armadillo boy, lost and in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm not sure if this will be a recurring thing, but we do get to see him slowly becoming a better person here.
As always, these volumes are sweet and sappy and full of warm goodness. Always a must buy.
