Trusting him is the only way to save the kingdom. 
Betraying her is the only way to keep them both alive. 
Stripped of her memories and her magic, Raven has been left for dead. 

As a prisoner in the enemy’s mineral mines, her only clue to who she is and where she came from is the mysterious map tattooed on her hand—a map containing hidden secrets that some people would kill for.

Jeddak is one of those people. 

A warrior from the Kovak tribe, he’s hunting for the powerful Zavien stone to pay the corrupt king’s ransom. If he doesn’t return home with it by the new moon, his betrothed will be executed.

When Jeddak discovers that a prisoner named Raven has the only map that leads to the artifact, he allies with her as they navigate treacherous lands and battle against ancient magical forces to unravel the map’s secrets. But can Raven trust this stranger who’s helping her? If the map gets into the wrong hands, thousands of people will die.

As their feelings for each other grow, their tenuous alliance begins to fray. Until Jeddak is forced to make a decision—betray Raven or forsake his kingdom. 

Choose wrong, and he’ll lose everything.

What I liked:
Lost Kingdom is a debut fantasy novel by Laurel Black, due out in January 2024. Lost Kingdom is told from two separate points of view. We have Raven, who is from a lost tribe taken prisoner to work in the rahthlan mines. She has no memories of where she is from; her only clue is the map on her hand. Jeddak is a kovak with a bear familair who is desperate to save his love by finding a lost stone. Both characters have a lost lover or family member they are desperate to save; both will be tricked and tested as they journey together to restore Raven's magic and her memories.
Final Verdict:
Lost Kingdom is a creative, thought-out fantasy novel; it contains exciting characters, betrayal, and a plot that keeps you guessing as you travel along with Jeddak and Raven. The romance is there but not overwhelming for the story; it relies more on the decisions of the two main characters and the path they take. I found the places they travel through quite creative, especially the Forbidden Forest and the Bramble Thorn territories. The ending is open for more books in the series, and I hope we get them.
