Publisher's Summary

Cyrene Strohm is a Queen's Affiliate, a high-ranking official of the court of Byern, with power and privilege to spare. But she's also a keeper of dangerous secrets: like the fact that she holds the heart of the King, and that she possesses magic in a world where magic no longer exists. Determined to discover what this means and how to use her newfound abilities, Cyrene sets off for the distant land of Eleysia, an island nation where Affiliates are strictly forbidden from entering. But the journey is perilous, and the destination may mean utter ruin, as Cyrene comes to learn that everything she's been told her whole life - about her court, her homeland, and even herself - are bound in a beautiful lie.

Well!well!well!

while reading this book I had to remain myself constantly that these are teenager's. With that said, the story was enticing and I'm all ready to start the next book. Because just have to know how all this well end. Well done author you've hook me in lol

Oh my - Now that is a cliffhanger

Now onto the next book to discover how Cyrene will deal with these betrayals and events... WOW

Even better then the first

Loved this one even more then the first one. about to start the 3rd one!

Excellent portions

Great story. A strong female character in an interesting world occasionally looses all her strength and common sense in an effort to keeep things moving along. I hate her loss of herself to move the plot from one stage to the next. Her inner dialogue during these portions are whiny and the narration, 😔, makes it sooo much worse. I do 💕 💕 this world. This had the potential to be an epic fantasy fiction. It is a decent one. There are just some lacking pieces to that puzzle. A main piece is the narration. It truly will make or break a story. I also didn’t like the lack of distinction between the male characters. When a story contains so many characters, a skilled narrator is required to allow the story to thrive.

WOW!!!! incredible!!!

This ending has me freaking out! What an amazing twist and turns and blast of the unexpected!!! Erin Mallon is the absolute perfect narrator for this series!!! Her narration is making me fall in love with the series even more ❤️

Good story

loved the story but the lady that narrated it sound like she was whining the whole time she was reading it.

Totally ridiculous ending

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 44 5

good-ish

This narrator is not horrible but is annoying. She's got 3 ranges: male, female, simpering. Overall aggravating.
The series is good enough that I can usually get through the narrator but have to take frequent breaks.

OhMgee!!!!

OhMgee. I’m absolutely loving this series. The ending. This audiobook is so good from start to finish. I need the next now!!!

Patience pays off

My review of the first book suggests the need for patience and this proves its worth. As the story picks up pace, I was left breathless at the end. Can’t wait to start the next one.
Narration was great!
Loved the inserts of other character stories. Loved how tangled and thick things are getting.
