We who will die – Stacia Stark
This review describes a fast-paced fantasy story set in a world with vampires, mythical creatures, and powerful Sigilmarked individuals. It follows Arvelle, who enters deadly trials after a vampire promises to heal her sick brother if she survives and assassinates the emperor. Along the way, she faces brutal challenges, unexpected betrayals, and reconnects with a mysterious figure from her past. The story is full of twists, political intrigue, and violence, with many competing factions and hidden motives. Despite being complex and sometimes overwhelming, I found it very engaging, recommending it to fans of action-packed, dark fantasy like The Hunger Games and The Vampire Diaries.
