Crown of Light and Shadows

Courts of Aetheria, Book 1

De: G.K. DeRosa

Narrado por: Stina Nielsen, Kale Williams

A powerless outcast thrust into a brutal Fae academy. Her ruthless instructor caught between duty and desire. A forbidden love foretold to spark the kingdom's absolute ruin.

On the day of my twentieth birthday, a brutally handsome Shadow Fae darkens my doorway and whisks me away to an elite Fae academy. The problem is I'm not Fae, and I certainly don't have any magical powers.

Despite this, I'm thrust into a realm where magic is as vital as breath and far more dangerous.

Thrown into an academy teeming with powerful Fae, I must navigate the treacherous waters of magical education, summon my dormant powers, and battle merciless fellow students to prepare to face the rival Arcanum Citadel across the river. Home to the treacherous Shadow Fae, the end-of-the-year battle determines our fate.

More dangerous still is the mysterious connection with my ruthless, enigmatic Shadow Fae professor. As he begrudgingly mentors me in the ways of Light magic, our growing relationship becomes a forbidden attraction that neither of us can deny.

As my powers unfurl and the boundary between light and dark blurs, a deeper threat emerges: a secret prophecy that could ignite war. The shaky peace between the courts trembles, and I'm faced with a choice that could alter the fate of our realm.

I stand at the precipice, the key to averting a bloodbath—or igniting an all-consuming fire.

5 🌟

I loved the duet narrators and the enemy to lovers slow burn. Excellent portrayal of these two characters.I cant wait to listen to the next installment in this series.

This is a great story, but the female narrator has much to be desired.

I think this is a great storyline and I think it would’ve been better if it had been read duet style, where the female did the female voices and the male did the male voices. I will go ahead and read the next installments because I think it’s a good story.

Loved this Story

I actually enjoyed this more than Fourth Wing. I’m really excited for book two! i just wish it would’ve been in duet form

Suspense and desire

Love this book… can’t wait to move on the book 2. I have work to do but just can’t put this book down. Fully recommend.

Biggest Cliffhanger EVER

the book was amazing. I have the kindle version too and read back and forth. wasn't a huge fan of the female voice, but the male was okay. Broody Professor was not who I thought. didn't see that coming OMG 😳 buying second book. it is a series so obviously you have to get the other books
