Rise of Ink and Smoke

A Frozen Fate Standalone

By: Pam Godwin

Narrated by: Anthony Palmini, Stella Hunter, Henry Kramer

A spinoff of the Frozen Fate trilogy by Pam Godwin, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author.

Wolfson Strakh fought his way to freedom, and it still isn't enough.

With ink-stained fingers and his fierce Alaskan family at his side, he should feel whole. Instead, the past clings like scars, leaving a loneliness that won't release him.

Until Dove Rath blows it apart.

A runaway bride with a rifle, she's the dangerous fairytale princess of his dreams. But she isn't here to be saved. She's here to end her stepbrother, Jag Rath.

Ruinously handsome and lethal behind a keyboard, Jag drags old darkness into Alaska, twisting protection into possession and loyalty into hunger. Curiosity sharpens. Desire flares. Boundaries blur. Secrets stir.

Jag's past threatens the freedom Wolf bled for, the love he never expected, and the woman caught between them.

Now Wolf stands on another cliff, betting his life on love as everything ignites in a rise of ink and smoke.

Perfection

I’ve been waiting for this Audiobook and it was worth the wait. I absolutely love Wolfson and he deserves his happy ending.

Perfect in every way…

Pam’s killed it again. I can’t say there’s a single point in this book I would change, in fact the only negative for me is that it wasn’t longer. Godwin used every single minute of this book masterfully—shifting the pace and developing the story around the characters. I already loved wolf from the main three books but now I also adore Jag and Dove. I can’t help but wonder if there will be more books following the Shadow Collection, perhaps even a new series 👀

This is absolute perfection

Besides this entire series being god tier-the audio was almost perfection. Wasn’t a huge fan of jags voice but besides that it is the perfect ending to this amazing story 🐺

Wolfson absolutely did me in!🤩😍

Wolfson voice was absolutely perfect andade me love every minute of this story . Jag and Dove did absolutely amazing as well . I wish I could give this more stars but dang this book was amazing 👏🏻 ❤️

Screaming, Crying, Throwing Up

Utter perfection. The storyline, character development, and narration… wow.

Watching Wolf come into his own was such a special experience. His dark humor, sharp wit, and vulnerability were portrayed flawlessly. This book brought everything full circle in a way that was both devastating and beautiful.

The narration was excellent. It took me a little while to adjust to not having Jack narrate this time around, but the performance was still incredibly strong and captured the emotion of the story perfectly.

Pam delivered a breathtaking conclusion to this journey. Queue the book slump..
