Who are the night senders? Where do they come from? Why are they so shrouded in secrecy?
These are the questions Rose Woodburn desperately wants answered.
At midnight on her 18th birthday, Rose, like all ladies of the court, receives a visit from one of the night senders. It is a coming of age rite she has been warned to fear, but Rose, always defiant, is not scared. She’s fascinated by these creatures.
When the visit awakens a part of her she never knew existed, Rose begs her night sender, Roosha, to return. But Roosha, condemned to a life of servitude, is bound by sacred law never to see her again.
Undeterred, Rose embarks on a mission to uncover the secrets surrounding these mystical creatures and their true purpose—a mission that will reveal far more than she bargained for and forge an unlikely alliance. But can it be trusted?
Obsessed with discovering the truth, Rose finds herself on a harrowing path of self-discovery and drawn into an affair so forbidden, its punishment is a fate far worse than death.

The premise of this debut novel is very interesting. Set amongst the
backbiting world of royal court intrigues, we get to watch Rose
navigate the transition from young girl to woman. The coming- of-
age ceremony of young women is super secret and the revelations in
this book are unique and surprising. The level of sensuality and
eroticism is more than expected in a new adult novel, but are done
very well.
The strength of this book is the strength of Rose. She defies
expectations and has a clear and purposeful voice throughout the
narrative. Her relationships with the other women in the book: her
mother, and her friends Anne and Roosha, were some of my favorite
parts.
There were gaps is the world building that I hope will be clarified in
future installments. It detracted from the enjoyment a bit as it was
not as the understanding of why an event or moment was important
was not as complete and encompassing as it could have been.
Overall this is a good regency paranormal romance with a lot of
promise for the continuing series.
