About this listen

The rebels have won, and the empire is withdrawing from Qazal. But undoing the tangled web that binds the two nations will not be easy, and Touraine and Luca will face their greatest challenge yet.

Luca needs to oust her uncle from the Balladairan throne once and for all and take her rightful place as Queen. But he won't let go of power so easily. When he calls for a 'Trial of Competence' and Luca's allies start disappearing from her side, she will need to find a way to prove her might. And she knows someone who can help. . .

Touraine has found a home in the newly free country of Qazal. But she soon realizes that leading a country and leading a revolution are two very different tasks. And, even more importantly, if Luca's uncle doesn't ratify the treaty, the Qazali could end up right back where they started.

Together, the two women will have to overcome their enemies, their history, and their heartbreak in order to find a way to secure Luca's power and Touraine's freedom.

Gripping story, brilliant queer characters, beautifully written with fiery chemistry. I also love the narrator.

I really enjoyed the first book but I LOVED this one I couldn’t stop listening! I think the narrator does such a great job with all the dialogue btw! Everything you love from book one is intensified- it’s able to have lighter funnier moments among the familiar taught dark moments, I think because you’re so much more attuned and invested in the characters, old and new (eg. Sabine my pathetic thirsy queen)

More gripping and more gay somehow!?

Amazing story telling
