A Wrecking of Salt and Fire

The Nostos Series, Book 1

By: E.K. Condos

Narrated by: Stella Bloom, Anthony Palmini, Gail Shalan, Saleem Udean

Plagued by fear. Haunted by the sins of her past.

Approaching twenty-five, Katrin Drakos should only be concerned with two things—being crowned Queen of Alentus and marrying her Fated, Kohl.

For five years, she focused on falling in love, on living, on becoming whole again. For five years, she was able to forget what the vile King Nikolaos of Nexos had done to her. For five years, her nightmares did not return.

But then the whispers started. A rumbling of rebellion poised to strike. The King of Nexos had never attacked before. Until now. Until right before the Acknowledgement.

So when a notorious pirate captures her, claiming to have saved her from the lies the leaders have woven into history, Katrin must decide if the enemy from her past has really been her ally this whole time. Decide before the world around her crumbles and not only her power, but the power of all the gods, is lost forever.

Because sometimes, the Fates have other plans.

Kohls voice actor too robotic but still enjoyed the story

With this many voice actors it would’ve been nice if they did their own voices in each chapter. A little bummed out Anthony Palmini only had the last two chapters. The other male voice actor was like a robot but the other two did great. The story was good though so I will be continuing

Great story line!

This felt like a great combination of Greek mythology, GoT, and pirates! I felt engaged in the story since the beginning. Only thing I would change would be a duet narration.

Good story

I liked the combination of lore that was apart of this book. It was as original and exciting. The female narrator is great and all this books needs. The male narrator uses a different accent for Ander which is annoying they didn’t work on that. I went through this book fast and I’m excited for book two.

Such a captivating story

Everything about this story was so good! From the world building, to the character development, and the plot twist at the end 🤯 it left me wanting more!

Frustrating

Spoiler: What happened in the last 5 chapters? Were we on fast forward? The miscommunication trope is on steroids in this book. I’m all about strong FMCs, but you cannot “train” for a couple of months and become a fierce warrior/general. The only reason I might go into book 2 is because Anthony Palmini is making an appearance.
