À propos de cet audio
An instant New York Times bestseller!
Love and duty collide in this richly imagined young adult debut about a witch whose dark powers put her at the center of a brewing war between the only family she’s ever known and the enemy who makes her question everything. Featuring a brand-new short story and character art!
Monster. Butcher. Bloodwinn.
Ranka is tired of death. All she wants is to be left alone, living out her days in Witchik’s wild north with the coven that raised her, attempting to forget the horrors of her past. But when she is named Bloodwinn, the next treaty bride to the human kingdom of Isodal, her coven sends her south with a single directive: kill him. Easy enough, for a blood-witch whose magic compels her to kill.
Except the prince is gentle, kind, and terrified of her. He doesn’t want to marry Ranka; he doesn’t want to be king at all. And it’s his sister—the wickedly smart, infuriatingly beautiful Princess Aramis—who seems to be the real threat.
But when witches start turning up dead, murdered by a mysterious, magical plague, Aramis makes Ranka an offer: help her develop a cure, and in return, she’ll help Ranka learn to contain her deadly magic. As the coup draws nearer and the plague spreads, Ranka is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her power, her past, and who she’s meant to fight for. Soon, she will have to decide between the coven that raised her and the princess who sees beyond the monster they shaped her to be.
But as the bodies pile up, a monster may be exactly what they need.

The Ones We Burn
3/5 stars. I had really really high hopes for this book tbh I was really looking forward to it and, I'm gonna be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I do love a good enemies to lovers trope and this book did do a decent job on that. However, for the fact that the characters were supposed to be like 18 ish, and had gone through a lot of hardships in life, they felt way younger than that and that kind of took me out of the story. The first like half of the book was like 3/5, I was kinda bored, then the next 2/3 was pretty good like 3.5/5 or 4/5, but the ending was not very good. **Spoilers ahead** I'm gonna be honest, Ranka should have died. It didn't really make sense for her not to and it would have been a way better ending if she had considering thats what like the entire book was working up too. I do enjoy a happy ending but it could have been a good, satisfying ending if she had died. Also the "twist" of the dude guard guy being the leader of the hands was really obvious. I am not one to try and guess ahead since I like to try and be surprised but even I saw that one coming from a mile away when they couldn't find his body for like 10 chapters. Overall, it was a decent read albeit decently long for the story. I would definitely have enjoyed more of the politics of the witches and humans etc from another pov, I think that would have added to the story a lot. I did enjoy the gay enemies to lovers too as I don't see that a lot.
