About this listen

A former slave fighting for justice. A reclusive warrior who no longer believes it exists. And a dark magic that will entangle their fates.

Ripped from a forgotten homeland as a child, Tisaanah learned how to survive with nothing but a sharp wit and a touch of magic. But the night she tries to buy her freedom, she barely escapes with her life.

Desperate to save the best friend she left behind, Tisaanah journeys to the Orders, the most powerful organizations of magic Wielders in the world. But to join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder who despises the Orders.

The Orders's intentions are cryptic, and Tisaanah must prove herself under the threat of looming war. But even more dangerous are her growing feelings for Maxantarius. The bloody past he wants to forget may be the key to her future...or the downfall of them both.

But Tisaanah will stop at nothing to save those she abandoned. Even if it means gambling in the Orders's deadly games. Even if it means sacrificing her heart.

Even if it means wielding death itself.

Contains mature themes.

“Men want power because it makes them feel good. Women want power because it lets us do things.
What will you do if you have a lot of power (magical or otherwise), what is really “to do good”?
I was a bit hesitant to start this book, but I must say it was a positive surprise. Though the book cover might hint to YA, I can assure you the content is not.
It is beautifully written; you have action, thriller, romance and strong and resilient characters.
I will definitively be reading the next books on the series.
Unfortunately, the narration was poorly edited. One can hear the female narrator breaks and swallows.. and someone was chasing the male narrator, like he was jogging while reading the lines…
Once you force yourself to ignore these very annoying details you will be able to focus on the very good book.

This was a fantastic story with excellent world building, beautiful character development, an interesting and unique magic system and a fulfilling slowburn friends to lovers romance.

The performance however was… lacking. The main female character was given a distinctively childlike voice and an inconsistent and non-distinct accent which was irritating. What is meant to be a powerful character (won’t say more as don’t want to spoil it) is given such a weedy, high pitched tone that it detracts from the affect it’s meant to have on the reader/ listener. Halfway through a male voice actor is introduced and everything he said felt rushed, with very audible breath intakes at the beginning of each sentence which really grated on me.

I loved the story but will certainly be trying to track down the paper copies rather continuing as audiobooks as I think this really detracted from the story as a whole for me. However, if for whatever reason audiobooks are your only option then it’s worth putting up with all the above.

I cannot with the high pitched baby voice of the FMC. Why why why was the decision made to make her so whiny? The other characters voices work really well, but the choice to make her sound so childish and pathetic have completely spoiled the story. I’ve had to stop listening for fear my ears might start to spontaneously bleed. Terrible. Unlistenable. I understand why this title is so cheap now.

Horrible narration

Good story and characters, was a ‘page turner’ and kept me occupied while decorating while not too complex to keep up with while doing something else. Narration was good except the male narrator constantly gasping in air before saying a few words, was very aggravating. Not enough to ruin the story for me, and I still want to listen to the next book.

The story was great but the male narrator sounds like a creepy guy that would approach you at a bus stop. He didn't sound at all like Max. Read with terrible intonation and gasps loudly with each intake of breath before every other sentence. So distracting. Have no idea how he got that job.

I loved this storyline. The audiobook format really gave something special to it, that I have a feeling wouldn't have come across as well if i had read it as a hard/digital copy.
Wane's performance was magnificent, probably the best narrator I've come across for an audiobook. Calley, not so much. the way he gasps before so many of his sentences was really jarring and if the storyline hadn't been so enthralling I would've stopped listening.

Story so well written, think it needed to be audio

This book is a must have. So very many plot twists it actually keeps you gripped. Get into this series. You owe it to yourself

So awesome

Enjoyable, absorbing, fantasy escapism. Actually enjoyed the changes in point of view through the story. Very much rooting for the main characters. Some of the character voice choices are a little jarring, but the more you listen the more necessary you see they are.

World building slow burn with crazy magic!

It’s difficult in a saturated market to provide something different and in the fantasy genre it’s becoming harder and harder to be original. However, this story provided a fresh story with all the magical elements of a good fantasy. I liked that Tisaanah is head strong, determined and works for what she wants. This character who doesn’t take no for an answer is a great female lead.
There could have been more of a focus on Tisaanah and Max’s relationship and I do hope that is explored further in the other books.
The performance however was questionable. I was really confused to begin with as the monologue is in a standard British English accent however when Tisaanah speaks to others there’s a really strange almost comical accent to her voice and for a while I was so confused why this was and didn’t even realise the two accents were meant to be from the same person.
Another element that confused me about the performance was how slowly Esther Wane spoke, I usually listen to audiobooks at 2x speed but I had to listen to this one at 2.75-3x speed. When I listened to normal speed she seemed to be speaking in slow motion it was irritating and if I didn’t have the option to speed it up I wouldn’t have continued listening. I had to set the speed at 1.75 just for it to sound like a normal person talking, very peculiar!

Unique story line
