Publisher's summary

An atmospheric and romantic debut fantasy perfect for fans of Ash and The Winner's Curse.

Betrothed since childhood to the prince of Mynaria, Princess Dennaleia has always known what her future holds. Her marriage will seal the alliance between Mynaria and her homeland, protecting her people from other hostile kingdoms.

But Denna has a secret. She possesses an Affinity for fire - a dangerous gift for the future queen of a land where magic is forbidden.

Now Denna has to learn the ways of her new kingdom while trying to hide her growing magic. To make matters worse, she must learn to ride Mynaria's formidable warhorses before her coronation - and her teacher is the person who intimidates her most, the prickly and unconventional Princess Amaranthine, sister of her betrothed.

When a shocking assassination leaves the kingdom reeling, Mare and Denna reluctantly join forces to search for the culprit. As the two work together, they discover there is more to one another than they thought - and soon their friendship is threatening to blossom into something more.

But with dangerous conflict brewing that makes the alliance more important than ever, acting on their feelings could be deadly. Forced to choose between their duty and their hearts, Mare and Denna must find a way to save their kingdoms - and each other.

Love and Horses

Loved this book. Loved the romance. My only nitpick is that I would have liked more time with the horses. But I'm a bit horse crazy.

my lesbian heart

I love this book!!! a user on Tumblr recommend this to me. read/listen to this!

Oh, my heart

This was just absolutely amazing. I loved every moment of it and I’m super excited to read the next one.

nice built up

I would of liked a couple of chapters into there life's after they ran away together.

A great first book.

Love the performance by the narrator!
The story is well made! I find the characters feel more real to me. They are not perfect and make mistakes and learn from them. Excited to see the rest of the series.

Very Good

My first book with girls in love and it was amazing with a well developed plot and storyline. Great set up for the second book and a lot of unexpected turns. Also reader is British like you can’t get better than that!

Slow burn, but burns so GOOD!

Ah, I just finished the book. The narrators are amazing, they really do a great job bringing these characters to life. It’s been a long while since I listened to such a captivating story. The chemistry between the two main characters from the very beginning was wonderfully written. At times I could feel the true excitement and sorrow the characters felt. An amazing world with magic and political power struggles. I highly, HUGHLY recommend this book to everyone, and I’ll be starting the next book soon! An open ending leading into the next book, but with a solid ending. Might I add, gay friendly and being a lesbian myself it was such a great read to not just have male/female relationships.

Loved it!

I put off reading this book for way too long! loved every second of it. The narrators were amazing and brought the story to life.

such a good romance

the plot wasn't anything out of this world but the character development rlly was the star of the show

Gushing madly

My heart is swelling, this story is exquisitely written. I was so deeply invested the entire time. The relationship is realistic and so wholesome, it had me swooning with our MCs. The foreshadowing is well done and leaves you full of dread when you put the pieces together. The characters are brutally human. I adored this story.
