About this listen

‘Blisters like a bullet – mixing intrigue, yearning, surprises and spice to create a story unlike any you’ve consumed before. And trust me – it’s delicious’ Jodi Picoult, No.1 NYT bestselling author

“Truly a breath of fresh air romantasy unlike anything I’ve ever read' Hannah Nicole Maehrer, #1 NYT bestselling author

Who should you trust?

Warrior King Maddox Kyronan’s fire magic has earned him a ruthless reputation. But now his kingdom is slowly burning, a blaze he cannot control, and his one chance to save it is a marriage alliance with the neighbouring royal family of Astranza and their power to manipulate the weather.

Who should you love?

As war looms on the horizon, Princess Jory’s home needs this alliance. But her family is hiding a dangerous secret: their magic is fading. When she meets her intended he sets her heart aflame, but what will he do when he realises she’s deceiving him?

Who should you kill?

Once a young nobleman causing mischief with Jory in Astranza’s palace, Asher is now part of the Hunter’s Guild. When a lucrative job arises, he can't refuse – until he sees the targets. Someone wants King Maddox and Princess Jory dead. Now Asher must decide what he’s willing to do to protect the woman he loves and the king she’s about to marry.

I think this may be my favourite book of the year! I was absolutely obsessed. The name really put me off and I wasn’t going to read it but got it in a Fairyloot subscription.

I am so glad I read it! The tension between the three characters is foot kick worthy. I couldn’t fall asleep to the audiobook because I was just too hooked.

Terrible for bedtime listening

The book started on a very positive note and just the way I like it, a princess meets a ruthless king and falls in love, but the story took the other path... The king also fell in love with the assasin, and there ought to be a love triangle...Honestly it felt that the princess was just a third wheel in that relantionship. Very disappointed. Also a detail that would have been nice to know before spending my credit...

I was not prepared for this...
