Transcript

come find my next fantasy read with me One thing about me is I love fantasy books. So let's go to Barnes & Noble because I'm on a hunt for my next fantasy read. And I heard about this one called The Iron Hex by Victoria S. Walsh. It's her debut romance and fantasy novel. And look how pretty this edition is. The story follows Era who's been living a quiet life after losing most of her memories. She's managed to stay hidden from the Iron Empire and the witch hunters. Until a very handsome and very annoying man walks into her shop. And apparently, he knows more about her past than she does. So they end up going on a quest to find a missing princess. And along the way, Era starts uncovering her forgotten memories, her real identity, and the forbidden magic inside her. Hello? Fantasy, romance, forgotten memories, and yearning. Yes. This is coming home with me. Bag secured. Oh my god. Oh my god. This cover is so beautiful. I already know I'm gonna eat this up. Wow. I already know I'm gonna eat this up.
