About this listen
One girl. Two brothers. A school built on secrets. And a bond that could burn down the world.
Scarlet Throne has been broken. Burned alive and survived.
Now, she’s a wild card with forbidden magic and a dragon with no memories—enrolled in Mageia War College only because she has nowhere else to go. She’s supposed to stay quiet. Stay controlled. Stay away from too much power. It’s too bad staying in control has never been her strong suit.
She never expected to find purpose. Or friends. Or to fall for two brothers with secrets of their own. Caught between the welcoming and charming Shayde and the unpredictable and dangerous Rhodes, Scarlet must guard her heart as fiercely as her life. Falling for either of them would be a mistake. Falling for both could be deadly.
But love isn’t the only fire rising. Someone is hunting Scarlet from within the college walls. Professors are dying and whispers are swirling that she is the one destined to destroy them all. And the more Scarlet digs for truth, the more her own darkness threatens to break free.
As dark truths unravel and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, Scarlet must confront the trauma she’s buried, the power she’s never asked for, and a fate that may cost her everything.
The Scars Within is a spellbinding romantasy packed with slow-burn heat, found family, snarky banter, and a dangerous romance that scorches through every page.
I’m confused…

Unfortunately this doesn’t hold out through the book. There are repeated instances where the same concept is repeated within paragraphs, often containing similar/identical phrases in them, as though the author has not decided between the two ways of writing them an has accidentally left them in the final version - eg explaining dragon bonding.
Scarlett herself is an inconsistent character - describing not having read fiction, and then a chapter later describing the love interests as fiction genres, which removed any sense of immersion.
There are times when points of import are blasted at the reader, but remain ill described- why is this important to Scarlet? And the other areas which are described in depth which is not required.
The narrative jolts around with little flow, and very little logic or reasoning to Scarlet’s actions. Why is she following this particular person for example?
There are also awkward moments where concepts have been “borrowed” from other series almost directly, but without them actually fitting into the narrative at all.
The story itself could have been good, a proof read would have gone a long long way to helping this be a good read, but it has ended up being a hate read for me with people getting angry messages about issues every sitting. I had someone ask me if I was sure it was not AI generated, and the more I read, the more I have become unsure.
Repetitive, could have done with being proofread
