About this listen

 Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape . . . and even less of being together.

Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komisar that she has a magical gift, and the Komisar's interest in Lia is greater than either Kaden or Lia foresaw.

Meanwhile, the foundations of Lia's deeply-held beliefs are crumbling beneath her. Nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to her, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom she always believed to be barbarians but whom she now realizes are people who have been terribly brutalized by the kingdoms of Dalbreck and Morrighan. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her very sense of self, Lia will have to make powerful choices that affect her country, her people . . . and her own destiny.

I loved this!!! While the majority of the book was a sold 4 stars, just the last few chapters would be a five star read. I was on the edge of my seat and I wanted to throw my phone across the room. 4.5 stars overall.

Almost a 5 star read

I’m obsessed. This sequel had me from page one and I could not put it down! I can’t wait to read the conclusion.

By far the BEST series I’ve ever read!

I absolutely loved this book and the narrators. Especially Ryan - reader of the character Rafe.

In love

I LOVE this series & have read it probably 5 times…but THIS NARRATOR. In my estimation, she lent zero personality to this performance, but gave heaps of synthetic empathy, which, because it was (in my opinion) utterly contrived, everything came across incredibly patronizing from the narrator. This is such a gripping tale, & the narrator(s) just wrecked it for me.

This narrator killed my favourite books!!
