Publisher's summary

She will not be the same as when she left.

Fire and Shadows.

Scarlett Semiria knew the cost of her actions the day she sacrificed everything to keep her family, her Courts, and her twin flame safe. At least she thought she did. When she discovers the cost was more than she could have ever anticipated, she finds herself once again forced to choose between saving innocents or saving the ones she loves. But this choice might just leave her so broken, even the stars won’t be able to bring her back.

Light and Dark.

Crown Prince Callan is more than happy to leave the Fire Court behind, along with the woman who chose someone else. But when he arrives home, he finds there is no escaping the world of darkness he has been dragged into. To protect his people and his kingdom, he is forced to enter into a dangerous deception that quickly turns into a game of cleverness and strategy, and he finds that he has allies in the most unexpected places.

Beginnings and Endings.

Fae Queen Talwyn Semiria has been waiting for decades for her cousin to return home. She had expected to find a kindred spirit. What she got was a brash assassin who does things her own way and flouts all traditional decorum. But she refuses to let Scarlett stand between her and what is best for her Courts. She will play nice for now, but when it comes down to going after the true evil that resides across the sea and threatens their lands, she’ll take it all and sacrifice everything.

The fight for love!

I loved this book, it included heat, intrigue, revenge, every emotion and I swam in it , I could not stop listening, I have dark circles under my eyes. I am about to dive into the next.

AMAZING

So so so good! I read all the books and I have been waiting for this series to come out on audio forever and it was worth the wait! Great story line, amazing characters and world building, and the performance for audio is fantastic!! By far my favorite book series ever 😍😍

So much depth to the story

If you've already read the first two, it just keeps getting deeper and better.

THE BETRAYAL

Ughhhhh this hurt so bad. That ending!!! Immediately starting the next book cuz there is no way to leave off on that cliffhanger

Please, get a male narrator whole actually has heard a strong woman speak.

He sounds as if he either has never heard it, or dislikes powerful women. His voice for the men is great, but I have a hard time not skipping his idea of the strong females in this series.

Story just gets better

Story and performances get better and better!! I Can’t wait to start the next book!!

Gotta keep reading

This book begin to unravel towards the end and gave me whiplash. Enjoyed every moment of this ride. I did not like that it took so long to get to the point.

Couldn’t stop listening!

Couldn’t stop listening! Best one so far in the series! Can’t wait to delve into book 4!

These books have me broken to all other series. It's not even fair.

This whole series is immaculate. It's got so much story and lore woven in, with just enough spice. It's not like other fantasy romance books that lack depth, and are clumsily put together loose plots between sex scenes. You get invested in the characters, the sex scenes are carefully written in and not just made at every possible chance the main characters are alone. And when they happen they are just the right amount of spice and passion I personally enjoy. Also the female Narrorator is one of my favorites so far.

Disappointed

I won't give spoilers.Scarlett is supposed to be powerful but acts like a helpless toddler pretty much all the time. The story had some twists but they were predictable. I barely could get through the entire book,I took a lot of breaks. The writer is repetitive and makes Scarlett sound like she's a toddler throwing a tantrum, instead of an lethal assassin & Queen. I'm not listening to the next book. It has potential but listen to your reviews, I'm not alone in feeling like it needs more work to be a quality series.
