Four stars
"In this novelette set five years before the events in the Kanin Chronicles, Bryn Aven is struggling to find her place in the secret kingdom of the Kanin—a realm as beautiful as it is treacherous.
Born of mixed heritage, fourteen-year-old Bryn has never felt like she completely belonged. Now, with the summer sun thawing the frozen province, the yearly King’s Games are about to begin, and an opportunity has arisen to squire the popular guard, Konstantin Black. Bryn can finally prove herself and earn the respect she craves." - Goodreads
I didn't know this even existed until I stumbled upon it on Goodreads. I've always really liked novellas. They are short, give a lot of insight that usually wouldn't be included in the full story and are usually focused on a certain event or period of time.
This prequel takes place years before the events of Frostfire. Bryn participates in the king's games. A group of people are placed against each other to fight in rounds. The final match is against the very popular and respected Konstantin Black. This is an honor for anyone who wishes to be on the king's guard, the Hogdragen.
This story really gives so much insight on Bryn Aven and why she is the way she is in The Kanin Chronicles. In this story she is only 14 years old, yet she is very determined to be the very best that she can be, and won't let anyone hold her down. She fights against her friends and many other people who don't deem her worthy of even participating. Bryn demands respect and to prove her worth to her community.
I really enjoyed this story. if you would like you can find it on Amanda's Wattpad after making an account here.
