À propos de cet audio
From a number one New York Times best-selling author comes a sizzling, sweepingly romantic story filled with dangerous secrets, evil twins, and powerful magic.
One sister.
Two sinful princes.
Infinite deception with a side of revenge.... Welcome to Hell.
After selling her soul to become queen of the Wicked, Emilia travels to the Seven Circles with the enigmatic prince of Wrath, where she's introduced to a seductive world of vice.
She vows to do whatever it takes to avenge her beloved sister, Vittoria...even if that means accepting the hand of the prince of Pride, the king of demons.
The first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. With back-stabbing princes, luxurious palaces, mysterious party invitations, and conflicting clues about who really killed her twin, Emilia finds herself more alone than ever before. Can she even trust Wrath, her onetime ally in the mortal world...or is he keeping dangerous secrets about his true nature?
Emilia will be tested in every way as she seeks a series of magical objects that will unlock the clues of her past and the answers she craves....

Histoire
Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe - witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family's renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin...desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister's killer and to seek vengeance at any cost - even if it means using dark magic that's been long forbidden. Then, Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child.

Histoire
Sinner. Villain. Ruthless. These are wicked names the Prince of Envy welcomes. They remind him what he isn’t: a saint. And when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows he’ll be called much worse before it ends. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way. With a powerful artifact and his own future at stake, Envy is determined to win, though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin—and passion—like no other.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

fmc is exhausting but good story
A mantra to get you through this story is that characters mustn't be good, they should just be interesting. The fmc has her head stuck up her behind for 99.9% of the story. And the scene that would be the payoff for getting through this book is a fade to black. That being said,I actually did enjoy the story, it's just an incredibly frustrating one. I guess I'll be reading the third book in order to finish this story as no plot points have been concluded in this one.

Excellent performance
The different character voices, audio and music helped bring the story alive. It gave the sense of a dark and spooky theme which helped to tie in key moments of the book. I had a great time listening to the plot unravel, I could kind of predict the ending as it was not widely hidden to me but certain events had me questioning and it was overall entertaining to watch the main characters journey. It was a little frustrating having to deal with the main characters constant and repetitive turmoil but that can be overlooked. 9.6/10 for sure

Incredible, left wanting more
Absolutely love it. Being the 2nd novel in the series you always wonder if it will live up to the first book. Boy did it! I loved the voice actor, I could feel each line and sense each character she portrayed. I love the story, though sometimes I just wanna kick the lead but then at the end she finally gives into my wants/needs. So good, already pre-ordered Kimdom of the Feared.

Ahhhhhhh
This book and the series so far has been incredible. The twists and turns that have finally taken me surprise is amazing. I’m used to fantasy books having a stupid riddle or prophecy that takes all of minutes to figure out.
Now with this second book my entire time listening I was on edge. I’m still reeling! 10/10 for storytelling, romance, pacing and intrigue.
I just hate I have to wait so long before getting more of this amazing story.
