Metal Slinger

Fire & Metal, Book 1

By: Rachel Schneider

Narrated by: Andi Eloise

The breakout romantasy sensation by Rachel Schneider that has taken the internet by storm—bursting with suspense, romance, and breathtaking twists, this heart-stopping debut also includes a bonus scene from the highly anticipated sequel, Light Wielder.

Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta—the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people—and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.

Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.

Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, Metal Slinger is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series.

Warning you will feel betrayed…

A story that has potential — one you think you know or have read elements of before, but then WHAM! You’re listening and suddenly wondering how you didn’t see that plot twist coming. Probably because there are plot holes that I decided to overlook but the ending definitely caught me off guard. I’m intrigued enough to keep going with the series…I think.

Lord the turn at the end pissed me off making me already buy the other book

I find it hard to believe his sister, her mother, and his match hid so much but I can’t wait for more to be revealed! Love powerful women!!! I can never get enough!

Ah-mazing!!!

The book was so good....and that twist...ripped me apart. What just happened? Then the book 2 blurb! I need book2, NOW!

Bruh!!!! This BOOK!!!

This book blew my edges back in the last THIRTY MINUTES!! It’s worth the listen. Can’t wait for book two.

Completely took me by surprise!

The story was amazing. Could’ve did with a little more world building but overall I really enjoyed this book. There’s a turn in the book that had me completely shocked. I don’t know how I’m gonna be able to make it until the next one comes out. I completely recommend this book
