Publisher's summary

Acclaimed author Mindee Arnett thrusts listeners into a beautiful, dangerous, and magical world in this stunningly epic and romantic fantasy for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sarah Raasch.

They call her Traitor Kate. It’s a title Kate Brighton inherited from her father after he tried to assassinate the high king of Rime.

Cast out of the nobility, Kate now works for the royal courier service. Only the most skilled ride for the Relay and only the fastest survive, for when night falls, the drakes - deadly flightless dragons - come out to hunt. Fortunately, Kate has a secret edge: She is a wilder, born with forbidden magic that allows her to influence the minds of animals.

And it’s this magic that leads her to a caravan massacred by drakes in broad daylight - the only survivor Corwin Tormaine, the son of the king. Her first love, the boy she swore to forget after he condemned her father to death.

With their paths once more entangled, Kate and Corwin must put the past behind them to face this new threat and an even darker menace stirring in the kingdom.

Critic reviews

"At once fresh, at once classic, Onyx and Ivory is a page-turning blend of monsters, magic, and romance." (Susan Dennard, New York Times best-selling author of Truthwitch)

Featured Article: Finished Throne of Glass? Try These Audiobooks Next


After finishing Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series, it’s understandable if you have a bit of a listening hangover. This seven-book fantasy series features a fan favorite strong female lead in 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien, and Maas’s writing has been described as "scary good." After all of the build up to the conclusion, hearing the last word of the final audiobook probably felt bittersweet. These epic fantasy series will be your next best listen.

worth reading once. I enjoyed the fantasy

I enjoyed the overall story, but I struggled to feel the connection between the main characters. I would have liked to hear more from Kate about how she felt towards Corwin. I get that it was a mystery to him why the reader?

I Want Another

This was a riveting story, fast paced and fun. The characters were interesting, if a bit annoying. Over all, I enjoyed it.

Very good

I honestly fell in love with this book more than I thought I would, which anyone around me could tell, since I was listening to it during almost any waking moment I had in the two days it took me to finish. I liked the fast pace of it and all the characters were well developed and I liked them too, and I'm excited to see their growth continue throughout the series.

amazing story

beautiful work

I have never listened to any of her work before but! its amazing. The plot is great and less focused on the love tension. cool magic system and world building. a must have on any TBR.

I think in my opinion this is more of a adult book in YA fantasy 15+ At least. it deals with some bigger and more adult subjects, with some suggestive confrontations between characters.

but 10 out of 10
