I was elated and excited when I was given an ARC of this book from none other than the amazing author herself. I have eagerly awaited and anticipated its release, so to be given an opportunity to read it before everyone else was an honour and I am truly grateful. With that said, I really cannot say enough about this book. Fantastical, lyrical, mesmerising, captivating, engrossing, amazing and undeniably whimsical. These are just the few words that come to mind when I think of this book. It reads like a fairytale and I was suddenly taken aback to my youth reading magical stories like The Princess Bride. I became enchanted and felt like I was there within the forests, among the Fae and harnessing my skills. I was firing a arrow out of a bow, wielding a sword against a troll, throwing daggers at the evil Raynor Bird and harnessing the elements against my enemy, Maligo. All while tattoos creeped their way down my arms as I grew stronger in my powers. I love when stories make you feel like you are part of the book!The story is about a faery Princess named Alannah, who is feisty and stubborn as hell. Unlike other fae she has yet to harness her power. A power that is so great and unyielding even her biggest enemy of her people will do anything to obtain. However, Alannah is not your typical damsel in distress. She can hold her own and when she is kidnapped she proves herself capable. She rescues herself from prison and escapes with the help of Brennus a Warrior Fae. He has more markings on his body then any before him, which proves he has great power and is well trained. Ah Brennus. What can I say about him....I can say that he is strong, determined, handsome and oh so sexy as hell. But he is also arrogant and has a quick wit that makes him utterly irresistible and very charming. Oh my *flustered just thinking of him with his tattoos and big sword* he is very swoon worthy that's for damn sure! Together they must travel terrains, delve deep into the forrest, fight the many enemies they encounter along the way, in order to find the Elder Faeries, who will help Alannah learn and control her power.Mark of the Princess was an adventure that I really enjoyed going on. It was full of fast paced action and had a touch of romance, which will make you blush. The tender moments that Alannah and Brennus share are so magical and enchanting it really leaves you wanting more and just when you think things are going the way you want them to BAM out of nowhere B.C. Morin leaves you with that ending...NOW how the hell am I supposed to live with that cliffhanger. Seriously B.C!!! LOL I guess I've got to wait for BOOK 2!!! Bravo B.C. Morin for enchanting me with a beautiful fairytale :)
