About this listen

Throne of Glass meets Black Jewels in this twisted yet alluring dark fantasy tale.

Quinn Darkova, freed from the chains of slavery, wants nothing more than vengeance against those who sold her. But with her dark powers on the rise and her ascension nearing, Quinn's blood retribution will have to wait in favor of her immediate survival.

Lazarus Fierte is a nobleman without equal. He's as controlling as he is stubborn, and for the last six years, he's been waiting for a woman to appear - but not just any woman. A Maji of great power, capable of terrible things. She could be the key to everything he holds dear.

His savior...or his destroyer. The only thing he didn't predict was that she would become both.

Contains mature themes.

Editing my review. Maybe my standards aren't what everyone else's are... but I believe this storyline to be "different" than most. There aren't any plot holes, more plot twists! I do like the dance between the two main characters. Knowing there's attraction, and not giving in.... yet. The narrator is excellent! I could listen all day!

First book, fantastic!

Something new and a little darker, has the beginnings of an epic adventure to start with and some unexpected dynamics of support characters

Darker magic

Very good book and extremely entertaining! If you have an issue with the narrator’s annunciation, just pop the speed up to 1.2x and it solves that problem. Slowed down it can be distracting.

Definitely recommend if you love a strong female lead and captivating plot.

Turn the speed up

This book is so boring, why so many good reviews???. I couldn’t get through, I gave up after 3h. Not worth the credit

Sooo boring

Overall good story and interesting characters. While it doesn’t seem like a lot happens. What does happen is interesting enough to keep one’s attention. Will continue with the next book.

Interesting story

Don't hesitate, you will be hooked in 3 chapters or less. I love it when I stumble across a completed series on Audible but bonus this is an excellent one!

Great find

This is a good story! I enjoyed it a lot and finished it in one day. I am not a big fan of the narrator. She has a very nasally voice and drags out the last word in the sentence a lot. I almost stopped in chapter 3 but continues to push on and I’m glad I did. And honestly, after listening to it for 7 hours, I started not to notice the narrators voice as much.

Good story!
