Overall Content Rating: Restricted R

This fantasy story follows a young woman caught in family secrets, magical books, lordly power, and conflict among friends and villagers. Tension builds through captivity, betrayals, and fights that lead to serious injury and death on the page. Parents should note moderate swearing and insults, action violence with blood and stabbing, mild name-calling, and substantial concerns raised in reviews about racist portrayals and tropes involving Black characters. There is no sexual content in the sampled language; matched terms for anatomy and head movement are non-sexual in context.

About this book

For the first time in a thousand years, the men in Noll’s village possess the freedom to love whom they will. In order to give each man the chance to fully explore his feelings, the lord of the village decrees all marriages null and void until both spouses declare their love for one another and their desire to wed again. What many women think will be a simple matter becomes a source of village-wide tension as most men decide to leave their families and responsibilities behind. Rejected by the lord and ashamed of her part in the village’s history, Noll withdraws from her family and lives life as an independent woodcarver. This changes when her sister accuses her of hiding her former husband, Jurij, from her—and when Jurij eventually does ask to move in. Determined not to make the same mistakes, Noll decides to support her male friends through their new emotional experiences, but she’s soon caught up in a darker plot than she ever dared imagine possible from the men she thought she knew so well. And the lord for whom she still has feelings may be hiding the most frightening truth of them all. Sequel to Nobody's Goddess, winner of The Romance Reviews' Summer 2016 Readers' Choice Award in Young Adult Romance. Read more
