About this audiobook
Mercenary Casia Greythorne cares about two things: completing whatever her latest job is, and earning enough coin to buy the expensive medicine that's keeping her mentor alive.
So when the king himself offers her a job, she can't resist the massive reward he offers-even if it means working with Captain Elander, the arrogant, mysterious right-hand to that king.
Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: investigate the origins of the strange plague that's been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.
But in a land brimming with old magic and meddling gods, nothing is ever that simple, and nothing is ever what it seems.
As the bodies pile up and strange monsters begin to wreak havoc throughout the realms, Cas and Elander will have to work together to protect their world whether they like it or not. Because one thing is clear: something ancient and evil is stirring in the shadows of that world.
And their empire will not survive its full unleashing.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a great book with a lot of information to learn. The ending is a huge twist that keeps readers engaged and the problems it sets up for future books are exciting. While some readers felt the character development and emotional connection were lacking, they have hope for improvement in future books. The narration of the audiobook was not everyone's favorite, but overall, this title offers adventure, fantasy, and romance."
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Has a few highs and lows but is overall a good read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The ending was a HUGE twist, like I figured out the one part and was focusing on trying to figure how it all fit together I completely did not see the other big reveal coming. The ending was incredible and the problems it complicates for the next books is exactly what I needed.
The character development and emotional connection was lacking for me for a majority of the book though, I wanted to feel more for the characters than I did but towards the end I felt like it was starting to deepen so I have hope for that to become a lot stronger in the next books (I really hope that’s the case because characters mean a lot to me).
I wasn’t super big on the narrator of the audiobook. She wasn’t awful or anything but idk there was something I just didn’t like. I think she made Cas sound way too much like an awkward teenager almost like a Bella Swan kind of awkward. And also she made Varen sound like a Disney villain but I only listen to the audiobook occasionally, most of the time I read the physical book so it was bearable when I needed to listen to a chapter or 2 - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Amazing book if you are looking for adventure, fantasy, and romance! Not to mention this has been one of my favorite narrations of a story! I wish that Jesse Vilinsky had narrated Fourth Wing! Her impression of the love interest is jaw dropping!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Took a while to get into the flow of the book but once I got into it, it was alright.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. It’s one of those that you have to pay attention to because you get so much information and there is so much to learn. What an ending!!
