Publisher's Summary

From the author of Mask of Shadows comes a dark and intricate story of a girl who must tether herself to a violent ruler to save her crumbling world.

Lorena Adler has a secret. She holds the power of the banished gods, the Noble and the Vile, inside her. She has spent her entire life hiding from the world and her past. She's content to spend her days as an undertaker in a small town, marry her best friend, Julian, and live an unfulfilling life so long as no one uncovers her true nature.

But when the notoriously bloodthirsty and equally Vile crown prince comes to arrest Julian's father, he immediately recognizes Lorena for what she is. So she makes a deal - a fair trial for her betrothed's father in exchange for her service to the crown.

The prince is desperate for her help. He's spent years trying to repair the weakening Door that holds back the Vile...and he's losing the battle. As Lorena learns more about the Door and the horrifying price it takes to keep it closed, she'll have to embrace both parts of herself to survive.

This heart-pounding YA story of magic and danger is perfect for listeners looking for: epic books for tweens and teens, gay and lesbian fantasy, science fiction, gripping stories with queer and gay magic and sorcery, dazzling world-building, relatable characters, tween and teen LGBTQ+ books, high fantasy with asexual and aromantic representation, and lesbian and gay fairy tales.

Compelling anti colonial narrative

Skillfully narrated and well written. I enjoyed the themes of class, workers rights and colonialism. The magic system is truly unique and in parallel to the themes it’s a book worth reading.

Boring

Interesting magic system, but just boring, and I honestly can’t decide wether it was the author or the narrator that made it boring or maybe it was just both, I can’t remember now but I hope this was free and I did t waste a credit on it, I felt like it would never end and not in a good way at all.
So to summarize, this was pretty much a disappointment other then a unique magic system which was the only redeeming factor of this book.
