Publisher's summary

Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.

For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.

Then, we died on their swords.

All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.

Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.

But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.

My heart.

Interesting Spicy Fantasy

Sooooo the mysterious MMC is HOT AS F*CK! Anytime Caelum speaks I need to fan myself.

The FMC, Estrella, is strong and independent (except for when Caelum is around, she’s a simp for him).

I wish there was a just little more plot and a little less talk about how big Caelum’s d*ck is. But I enjoyed myself nonetheless.

Interesting world building. And that ending!!! Jeeeeez I need the next book ASAP.

If you’re a fan of Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses series, you should check this one out.

Never Again

Was not looking for soft porn romance novel. So maybe that’s why I did not enjoy this book there was not much of a story. And the last several chapters were basically her telling a controlling man who gaslights her into thinking she is having a choice in their relationship. I guess If your into that and rough, exhibitionists sex then you may like this. I just wanted to slap the women and say wake up you xxxx. The only character I enjoyed was the female leader of the resistance and it was like she was added as an after thought. I never would recommend this book.

ready for book 2

this starts out a little slow but hang in there its definitely worth it!!! ready for the next one :-)

V Good!

Very different from ACOTAR which is what I was looking for. The recording slipped around a bit though. I feel like I lost some sentences, not sure why. @Audible please figure out why the recording skips!!

Absolutely great No spoilers in my review.

From start to end I was absolutely captivated. With romance action and a great plot I loved it!
I had in my pre order pile and didn’t regret it at all!
I love fantasy romance, it’s my favorite genre. I would see this book becoming a very popular series in the book community! It’s personally one of my new favorites!
Great job writing and great job reading! 10/10
I can’t wait to listen to the next in the series to find out what happens next!
Amazing job to both Harper and Ava

Not what I was expecting

The start off of the story was good. But it lost me after the veil opened. I thought this was a romance novel with elves. But yhe main character just gave me the ick, and the story line became irritating and just fillers. I wasn't even sure about that male lead, and if he was even the lead . Maybe I was just confused but I tried reading again three times. Couldn't get with it.

Possessive

This is very heavy on the possessive dirty talk. Not my style but hey to each there own.

Cool twist cliff hanger

An interesting story watching the MFC leave the life to hide from those that per sue here for many reasons. We watch as she loses those she loves and find supposed allies in those she meets.
Ending on such a twist and cliffhanger I’m just glad I don’t have to dangle by the finger tips to long to read the next instalment

Thanks for sharing your story with us 😁😁💜💛💙🧡❤️💚🤍

Loved it!

This was another amazingly great one in this series!! Definitely going to listen to it again. Really didn’t want it to end…hoping that 4th one will be out soon!

Ok

Won’t lie, I got sucked into it. Overall fairly predictable characters and as with most people I didn’t like the “little one” pet name. I wish the editor would have given the author a thesaurus, the description of the “erotic” scenes and over use of some words kinda cheapened the overall feel of the story.
