About this listen

Audible presents the start of a thrilling new enemies to lovers, sapphic romantasy trilogy, for fans of Sarah J Maas, Leigh Bardugo and Rebecca Yarros, performed by Jessie Mei Li (SHADOW AND BONE) and Freya Mavor (INDUSTRY)

In the kingdom of Eynhallow, Princess Ythsie is preparing to choose a husband, in order to secure the kingdom’s future. Everything changes when Stroma, a skilled fighter from a remote village, becomes her new bodyguard. As mysterious deaths rock the palace, Ythsie and Stroma uncover a web of ancient magic and deadly court intrigue. The princess discovers she has a rare and dangerous gift - the ability to communicate with the Deathless, Eynhallow's cursed undead army.

Amidst the chaos, rivalry blossoms into romance between the princess and her loyal squire. With enemies closing in and the fate of the kingdom at stake, Ythsie and Stroma must navigate treacherous alliances, their growing feelings for each other, and their own destinies. How far will they go to protect their love and save their homeland?

This book stuck an excellent balance of fantasy that is easy to follow, and romance and doesn’t overtake the storyline. The main characters have substance and the world building was understandable and weaved into the plot.

An excellent read, and I can’t wait for the next book.

absolutely superb! a romping adventure love story that seemlessly combines old world glory and the fight for the new. Beautiful observation of character relationships with a subtle whimsy lead you further and further into their thrall

spellbinding!!

Enjoyed this, a fitting start to what I would imagine will become an epic saga if it continues in the same vein, very much worth the credit😁👍🏻

Cracking story

I don’t normally leave reviews, but I enjoyed this so much it only seemed fair. If after reading the synopsis you are unsure it’s for you, as I was, don’t be, you won’t regret it. The story is beautifully written, and beautifully read by the narrators, and I can’t wait to get started with part 2.
