Klappentext:
Lore has been living by her wits since she was a child, running poisons for the cartel that took her in, avoiding the attention of the law, and keeping her illicit affinity for death magic a secret.
When a job goes wrong and Lore is captured by the Sainted King's warrior-monks, she expects death. But King August has a different plan. Entire villages on the outskirts of the country have been dying overnight, seemingly at random. Lore can either use her magic to find out what's happening - or face the pyre.

Entire villages on the outskirts of the country have been dying overnight, seemingly at random. Lore can either use her magic to find out what's happening - or face the pyre.
Thrust into a lavish court where no one can be believed and even fewer can be trusted, Lore must navigate an intricate web of politics, religion, and forbidden romance and solve the King's mystery. A mystery more dangerous and twisted than Lore can even imagine.
Klappentext:
I was so excited to read „The foxglove king“ and happy that i received an e-ARC. The cover is so beautiful and the blurb sounded so very interesting. I started reading straight away and I was able to really get into the plot. But after a while it got a bit boring. I won't say I lost interest but there was so much detailed information about the world and everything else. That was a bit much for me and the characters and their development got lost a bit. I would have wished for a better balance.
Lore is an interesting character and I was very curious as to where she came from and why she perceives Mortem so intensely. I had a few good and interesting reading hours and the other characters also aroused my interest. In addition to Lore, these were Gabriel and Bastian. The investigations of these three were very interesting, but the plot was a bit lost because of the amount of information.
„The Foxglove King“ was an ok start for this series and i hope that the second book focuses more on the characters and that you can understand their emotions better.
