If she can learn to trust her four bestowed mates with more than her life. Only with all four of her bonds in place will they be strong enough to win.

My thoughts
“…you must learn to trust one another. Any ounce of distrust will weaken you all.”
In the world of Solaris, it was a blessing to find out you had a bestowed mate. So when the FMC found out she had not only one but four, she didn’t know what to think.
The book surrounds a rare shifter Maeve as she takes the journey down her chosen path. To accomplish her destiny, she must find and become fully bonded to, all four of her mates. This seems like an easy enough task, but for the mating bound to snap, the two mates must trust each other fully.
Finding trust between strangers is hard enough, and became even more of a challenge when each of them has a troubled past. Luckily for Maeve, her first found mate was her best friend and she knew their bonding wouldn’t be a problem. His jealousy, however; started to rear its ugly head when the other mates came into the picture. Together, the bestowed mates found themselves in a situation they may not be able to overcome.
The perspective of the mating bond forming by trust rather than the actual act of mating was very intriguing. In the real world, giving in to desires can be a lot easier than offering up all of your trust.
The world-building, I thought was great. The author took you through different kingdoms in Solaris, each one having its own set of distinguishing features.
My favorite character of course was Declan, the mysterious and problematic one. His hot and cold tendencies had my mind all over the place, but then came the “bedroom” scene, and yup….Declan won me 🥵. His inner struggles were the most relatable (at least to me) as to why trusting anyone fully is not easy.
All and all, this book was really good and I do look forward to reading the next one! The ending does have a cliffhanger, that I kind of saw coming, but definitely NOT to that degree. The author truly leaves you wanting more!
