Fae fantasy meets Vikings in this enemies-to-lovers romance about a broken ice-fae princess who must earn her Valkyrie wings, a villainous fire-fae who will stop at nothing to get his revenge, and an ancient war that could see their whole world burn.

Princess Madivia is broken. Her fae magic doesn’t work, her illness will kill her, and nobody knows she exists.
So when the gods select her to leave her tower in the Ice Court and train to be a Valkyrie at Featherblade, she is sure they’ve made a terrible mistake.
So is every other fae at Featherblade. All except the disgraced fire-fae Valkyrie, Kain. His burning gaze never leaves her. Nobody knows what he did to have his wings taken away, but he is as dangerous as the deadly world Maddy has been drawn into.
And she has the key to his revenge.
If he discovers her secret, it won’t just be Maddy’s life that is in danger. She knows she should avoid him.
But, the only thing harder than becoming a Valkyrie? Conquering her searing fascination with the unhinged fire-fae.

If she is to survive Featherblade, she must earn her wings. If she is to survive Kain, she must make a choice that could burn their world to ash.

This is the first book in the Flame Cursed Fae romantasy series, and is inspired by Norse mythology and sexy fae Vikings. It has villain gets the girl and obsessive burn-the-world-down-for-her (literally) hero vibes. The romance is slow burn and builds in steam and delicious tension.

I literally finish this book within a few hours I could not put it down. I loved everything about it, far games and trials one hot grumpy disgraced fire fae. The world building was incredible..

Amazing start

The plot is great, didn't want to stop listening but most of the audio sounded like it was ai, especially the FMC. very strange as it didn't flow properly in some bits but didn't take away from the story

decent story strange audio

I think I needed, or at least hoped, to get some answers to what was going on with Maddy! I felt throughout like maybe she'd actually be brimming suppressed power and that perhaps her staff might even have been deliberately hindering her? But we didn't get any of those answers, sadly and frustratingly.🤷🏻‍♀️ I also wondered if her suppressed power, if it is, of course, could be causing her blackouts.🤔

I can't help liking Kain. I think his 💀ery ways will be kind of justified. Have the Valkyrie been corrupted? Is that why Kain and Maddy are there to clean them up?

Argh, I have so many questions!😆 I think I'm going to absolutely LOVE book 2.👏

This had some stunning imagery, fascinating characters, and a frustratingly intriguing storyline.😍

The audiobook could have been a bit better. The male narrator was very good as growly Kain. I felt the female was quite flat across the board as Maddy and other characters, which was a bit disappointing. I also think it needs to commit to being completely a dual pov audio.🤞

I'm very excited for book #2.😁

I've very much enjoying this story. I regulat make long drives to care for my elderly father and enjoy listening to audio books to pass the time.

this is my first encounter with AI generated narration and, being honest, I'm not a fan. I dont approve if AI in general but the 'tinny', slightly 'robotic' voices really take away and detract from the story... making it harder to fully engage with the storyline.

Edit - just discovered this is not AI... YIKES! Hmm well continuing to be honest, I guess this means I dont enjoy the narrator style - particularly the email lead...

Great Story but....
