Curse of the Sun and Stars

A Dark Fantasy Romance (Fated to the Sun and Stars, Book 1)

De: Zara Storm

Narrado por: Jessie Elwyn, Christopher Andrews

Beauty and the Beast meets Anastasia in this spicy, enemies-to-lovers fantasy where the romance is sharp, the tension feral, and the betrayal unforgettable.

For years, Ana has been a prisoner—hidden away, her blood kept alive by ancient potions while the kingdom of Trova rots under the rule of those who cast her aside.

Born without magic in a world ruled by it, she was never meant to survive.

Until the day the fae prince found her. And left her for dead.

But death never came.

Now, as rival powers rise and ancient magic awakens, Ana is thrust into a world she barely recognizes—one of treacherous courts, shifting alliances, and the dangerously captivating prince who left her behind.

But when fate throws them together once more, Ana must choose: claim the vengeance she’s waited for… or risk everything on a man who might betray her again.

Betrayal, Power, and Maybe Love

This was a strong start to the series and a really intriguing first book. The world-building pulled me in right away — a kingdom crumbling under corrupt magic, a forgotten girl kept alive in secret, and a fae prince whose choices changed everything. Ana’s journey from powerless captive to a woman stepping into a treacherous new world full of court politics, shifting loyalties, and unexpected dangers was gripping, and the tension between her and the prince who once left her for dead adds some great emotional conflict.

The book does end on a mild cliffhanger — not frustrating, just enough to show there’s a lot more story to come — and I’m definitely moving straight on to book two to see where it goes. The narration was well done. I'm Excited to keep going with this series!

Awesome

This was a great listen. I enjoyed the writing style and was excited to continue the story. Twist and turns throughout the story, and enemies to lovers where you get close to the characters and not sure how you feel when the plot thickens.
I highly recommend this book to others and look forward to continuing the series.

Excellent Story

Curse of the Sun and Stars is book one in a dark fantasy romance that follows its MFC Morgana Angevire through a labyrinth of political, religious intrigue, magic, and betrayals.
Having previously reviewed the e-book version of the story I was thrilled by the opportunity to explore the world again in the audio version which I found to be wonderfully narrated by the dual POV voices of Jessie Elwyn ,and Christoper Andrews.
Morgana has been kept secreted away by her family for twenty-one years which is soon to come to and end when MMC Fae Prince Leonidas becomes a part of her family dynamics, and secrets in an imaginative, emotional, well written story whose adventure can now be listened to in all it’s sensuous execution.
