The Foxglove King

3.5 stars

This one was hard for me to rate.

Lore can sense and control Mortem (death magic). She was born in the catacombs below the city where the tomb of a dead Goddess is. Mortem leaks from the tomb and has to be controlled by the Church to keep it from destroying everything and everyone.
When entire towns start dying overnight, Lore is brought in to help. Apparently she's been being watched for years by the King and the Church. They all know about her power even if she doesn't completely understand it herself.

I liked a lot of things about this book, but the love triangle really annoyed me. It annoyed me enough that I didn't really want to finish it. However, I liked Bastian and Gabe enough to carry on. The ending was intriguing enough that I will probably continue the series.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an e-arc.
