Resumen del Editor

Four hundred years ago, my ancestor led an uprising against the Witch’s Council.

And failed miserably.

Now her descendants and those of her supporters must serve as Wardens to help protect witch-kind, though we’re relegated to being second best and the first ones thrown into danger. The Disgraced, as we’re called, are meant to suck it up and be grateful.

But there’s too much of my ancestor in me to bow to any witch, no matter that I’m Disgraced and an omega. When I enroll in war college to learn to do my duty as a Disgraced Warden and witch omega, I have a feeling that I’m not going to be very popular with my superiors. Let alone any other alphas that cross my path.

To make things worse for everyone an old enemy has returned to hunt us, and whispers of unrest are circulating like the witch plague.

I may be Disgraced, an omega, and the last of my line, but I’m not going to just roll over and accept my fate. Not for the council, a coven, or anyone else.

The Sight of Flames is the first in the Disgraced Magic series. It’s a witchy omegaverse RH/poly romance where the main character and her coven never have to choose.

Wanted dual narration

Disgraced. Arsena Graves is the last in a bloodline of disgraced witches. Generations ago, her ancestor led an uprising against the witch’s council, and her family and those that followed her ancestor have paid the price. Having come of age, she is enrolled in war college to train as a warden for the protection of other witches. Another price to pay. Sen knows her time will be difficult and not only because of her last name. She is identical to her notorious ancestor and carries her fire talent and gift. The only difference is Sen is an Omega, not an Alpha. Her very presence inspires fear and anger, except with a few. However, Sen is not one to back down from a challenge. She’s determined to make her own way regardless of her name, her face, or her inherited talents.

The world-building was excellent, and the historical and political undertones were appreciated. They added a level of depth to a paranormal academy RH. Sen was a bit prickly for me, but I’m hoping she will become a little less so as she finds support and friendship in her coven. I do like the protective streak she has for the disgraced or bullied. And I love her strategic mind. Lore, Zyair, and Zeph are nearly interchangeable for me. I didn’t instantly fall in love with any of them. Her relationship with Lir was not so clear-cut but is my favorite of these four. I prefer a little tension. It makes the final relationship more rewarding. I was intrigued by both of the older wardens. I can’t tell if they will be part of the coven but I am hopeful. Overall, I found this completely entertaining. I was captivated from the beginning and look forward to more.

Allyson Voller narrated and did a fantastic job with the characters giving them each their own voice. I would have preferred dual narration since it’s difficult for a narrator to voice the opposite sex. It would have elevated the story by adding a male narrator.

Great start to this world!

The world building in this audiobook was phenomenal and I cannot wait for the next one! The powers the characters had, the underlying plot, and the relationship growing and building between the main character and her loves was perfect. I love not knowing who is going to be added next in this group (love interest wise). The one thing I didnt really get from this one was OV but maybe more in book 2, we shall see.

last of the bloodline... ??

last of your bloodline?! or is she?? strong, unique witch who knows just enough to survive. friends or foe. lover or enemy. so many angles to think about. 🤔

Entertaining

I really enjoyed this story. This storyline is entertaining and the characters are great. This is a great introduction into this witchy omegaverse. This is my first time reading/listening to AJ Merlin and I can't wait for more. Allyson Voller did a great job bring this story to life. I'm excited to see what happens next.

Witchy Omegaverse RH/Poly Romance

The Sight of Flames by AJ Merlin is a witchy omegaverse RH/poly romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Allyson Voller. This is the first book in the Disgraced Magic series.

I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed how the book was told from only Arsena's point of view.

I can't wait for the next book in the series to be announced so I can get more of Arsena and her coven.

Allyson did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like omegaverse romances, reverse harem romances, poly romances, or paranormal romances.

Great read

Although a little slow, the story one is good. I enjoyed the book and will read the next one. Allyson Voller did an amazing job at narrating

wow!

WOW! I love a good magical story and this one did not disappoint. Arsena is a cursed witch with a strong personality & curves for days that stands up for her fellow cursed witches. I enjoyed this intro to her world and the guys she's getting close to. I'm note if this will be a RH or poly story, but either way it's shaping up to be a fun series.

The Sight of Flames

this story is about a witch that was Disgraced because of one of her ancestors, and to top it off she also has the same powers and looks as she did. but she does find 3 amazing men that are her perfect match. and they help each other out. Sienna is a fighter she stands up for the underdogs and is always helping them out from being bullied. but there is this one witch that doesn't like her and I think she's trying to set her up to fail. but other than that little bit you guys have to read it. it's so good. I enjoyed every bit of it and the narrator did an amazing job too.

4 star

Exciting
I listened via audio and I’m not over found of the boys voices but you know some people would like them.
4 star listen, I liked this fmc she’s enjoyable, feisty and full of passion.

I’m not overly found of the love interests because I can’t get my head around their relationships. I just don’t really get them. Also didn’t like most male voices.
I am looking forward to continuing this series and it ends in a great hook.

Witch series with troupe of alpha beta omega format. A little smutty but not overly so. Academy troupe but the characters start older at 21 ish which I found slightly off for first year students.
