Publisher's Summary

From the author of the New York Times bestselling The Testing trilogy comes a sweeping new fantasy series, perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Sarah J. Maas.

Twins Carys and Andreus were never destined to rule Eden. With their older brother next in line to inherit the throne, the future of the kingdom was secure.

But appearances—and rivals—can be deceiving. When Eden’s king and crown prince are killed by assassins, Eden desperately needs a monarch, but the line of succession is no longer clear. With a ruling council scheming to gain power, Carys and Andreus are faced with only one option—to take part in a Trial of Succession that will determine which one of them is worthy of ruling the kingdom.

As sister and brother, Carys and Andreus have always kept each other safe—from their secrets, from the court, and from the monsters lurking in the mountains beyond the kingdom’s wall. But the Trial of Succession will test the bonds of trust and family.

With their country and their hearts divided, Carys and Andreus will discover exactly what each will do to win the crown. How long before suspicion takes hold and the thirst for power leads to the ultimate betrayal?

Excellent! Loved it.

I was so enthralled by this story. The characters were well developed. Tale reminds me somewhat of Cain and Abel. Awesome performance as usual from Lauren Fortgang. What a riveting tale. Can't wait for the next book!

Audible, catch up!

My only question is when will the next book be available on Audible? With the second book already released, this book left me wanting more and if audible doesn’t plan on having the second book anytime soon, I’ll definitely be buying the paper version!!

wow

loved the story, it was fast paced but amazing. i couldn't put it now.

Waiting for next book, but not desperately

The storyline in intriguing. Father dies and mother is a basket case. Emotionally, supportively bonded twins suddenly separate because the womanizing brother suddenly gains an attitude, a polar personality flip. (I did wonder at the time if the abruptness of the change will be revealed as some kind of drugging). And the sister has to save the day - and will likely do it in the next book; unless the ambiguously motived second players all turn out to be sinister. Narrator Fortgang tries to give us vocal clues about who is bad and good, but actually I did not like that. I thought making wind both the alternative technology that the brother tinkers with and the magical element that the sister is embued with, with the great reveal at the end, was interesting.

Story leaves you wanting more

Such an great story, that has your unsure which side to pick. Just like warm apple cider it leaves you wanting more.

Drawn out

Very weak female character who never evolved until the last few chapters and then it ended. It gets to be tedious reading/listening when one side it always winning.

Amazing book in all aspects!

Great writing, amazing characters, phenomenal narration, and a captivating story! Everything a novel should be! #TeamCarys

Entertaining and Fun!

Enjoyed the story and oitamding performance of narrator. Will be looking for more by author and narrator.

Good surprise.

I wasn't really sure when I started listening to this book that I would like it. However once I got the characters in mind I couldn't stop listening character development was told in such a way that you could even understand the villains point of view even as you wanted to slap him into reality. Can't wait for the next book!!!
