Publisher's summary

Thalia knows three things:  

Her first name.  

That she barely escaped the clutches of the Septori with the help of a mysterious stranger.  

And that her run-in with the Septori's iron butterfly machine did something to her. It changed her into something neither fully human nor Denai.  

Fearing her inner darkness and seeking answers to her past, Thalia finds refuge as a servant at the Citadel in Calandry, a school for the gifted Denai.  

When strange powers awaken within her she is forced to pretend to be one of them and goes from being a servant to a student overnight. Her life becomes even more complicated when the handsome stranger who saved her from the Septori becomes her new fighting instructor.  

Thalia knows that the Septori are still looking for her and they will stop at nothing to get her back - dead or alive.

Great Listen

I just love this author! And the narrator is amazing! This is the second series of books I have listened of Chanda’s and I’m obsessed with the books!

Love the story, hate the narrator!

I read this book before many years ago and absolutely loved it! I was so excited when it finally came out on Audible. As soon as I
started listening, I was dissatisfied. The reader makes Thalia seem so much more whiney and annoying! I kept switching back to reading every chance I could to avoid the irritation. Thalia has been through a lot of horrible things, but she is also fierce and determined. I hope they use a different reader for the next book!

Excellent story!

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this book when it first started, but it grew on me really quickly. The first in a series, I am looking forward to book number two.

Hard to finish

So much in this book didn’t make sense it was unreal.. the baseline is good but some of it was just too far out of place. Like the ending for instance.. A good bit of it was absolutely STUPID TOO.. Like honey this dude just said he HAD to kill you but yet.. and then the dad.. everything she’s been through and the council just up and ok you can walk away blindly with her.. a good bit of immature reaction in several places too.
