Publisher's summary

Set in the world of the New York Times best-selling Seven Realms series, a generation later, this is a breathtaking story of dark magic, chilling threats, and two unforgettable characters walking a knife-sharp line between life and death. This dazzling beginning to a new series is indispensable for fans of Cinda Williams Chima and a perfect starting point for listeners who are new to her work.

Adrian sul'Han, known as Ash, is a trained healer with a powerful gift of magic - and a thirst for revenge. Ash is forced into hiding after a series of murders throws the queendom into chaos. Now he's closer than ever to killing the man responsible, the cruel king of Arden. With time running out, Ash faces an excruciating choice: Can he use his powers not to save a life but to take it?

Abandoned at birth, Jenna Bandelow was told that the magemark on the back of her neck would make her a target. But when the King's Guard launches a relentless search for a girl with a mark like hers, Jenna assumes that it has more to do with her role as a saboteur than any birth-based curse. Though Jenna doesn't know why she's being hunted, she knows that she can't get caught.

Eventually Ash's and Jenna's paths will collide in Arden. Thrown together by chance and joined by their hatred of the ruthless king, they will come to rescue each other in ways they cannot yet imagine.

Just enjoyable.

I was somewhat skeptical whether this would grab my imagination as well as the first series.
Yes!!!! I'm definitely into it.

Wow! Amazing!

What can I say about this book? Well originally I got this book because the cover looked cool. I am so glad i got it! This turned out to be one of my favorites! Its right up my alley. Being an anime nerd this resonated with my soul! There was one super cheese. But it is still very good! I would recommend this HIGHLY!

Why.....

h esgedgghed.... sorry had to get that off my chest. So this book has an amazing story and well worth listening to. But I personally don't agree with what happened to the main character of the previous series. I don't think it would have happened but because of it it made a good story and I can't wait to listen to the next one.

Wonderful story!

Classic Cinda Williams. Well-written that captures the imagination. Follows after the seven realms series, bringing in familiar characters and continuing the story.
Well narrated. Can’t wait to start the next book in the series!

Always great story from Cinda

i had hard time at first. As it felt there was such a huge gap in time from the previous series events. Not only that but if you just finished the previous series then the loss of a character at beginning will destroy you. But thats what stories do, they insite feelings. Cinda always draws me in and I truly enjoy the story throughout. this will be another great series.

Great Book, Mediocre Narrator

I like the book a lot, but the narrator wasn't my favorite. Some of the characters sound the same and it was hard to follow if conversation was moving quickly. Overall, the story and the book itself are great!
