About this listen
Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back—even for just a little while—is to steal love from others.
Wren is a source—a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren—the only caretaker to her ailing father—has spent her life hiding her secret.
When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father.
Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them—that is, if they don’t kill each other first.

Critic reviews
"In this debut fantasy audiobook, magic has a price, and two young women make a contract that will cost each of them more than they know. Tamsin, portrayed by narrator Andrea Emmes, was banished as a young witch while trying to save her twin sister. Now Wren goes to her, seeking a cure for her father, who has fallen victim to a plague. Wren's innocent view of life is unfolded by narrator Ferdelle Capistrano. Emmes captures Tamsin's difficult emotional transformation from an inability to feel love to a hopeful attitude about the future. Capistrano illuminates more subtle changes as Wren loses some of her naïveté and uncovers her strength."
It is a fantastic book with lots of magic and a sweet falling in love story of Tamsin and Wren.
Wren is a magical source and Tamsin is a witch and they work together to take down the bad witch which has put the world into a downward spiral and caused a plaque among the common folk.
There are twists and and turns all the way through the book, it’s a slow burn love story, I will say the only thing that I would of liked more passion between Wren and Tamsin, for example when they had a kiss it was nice but there was no fireworks or sparks and if there was, that should of been more described as for me it lacked passion. I wasn’t bothered about it not being sexual between them in this book as I don’t think it’s needed.
The narration was great, one narrator did Tamsin’s chapter and the other narrator did Wren’s chapter.

Overall I think this is a really nice YA read and I am hoping there maybe a second book to come as I have so many questions about what comes next and feel like there are many possibilities.
Enjoyable read
