About this listen
Surrounded by enemies, I've never been further from my crown…
Or closer to death.
Amidst a betrayal we couldn't have anticipated, I'll do whatever it takes to find my way back to Lorian—before his fury lays waste to this continent.
Alliances are being forged and broken, our enemies are unifying, and Regner’s spiders are closer than ever before.
We have only one chance to prevent him from attaining god-like powers and enslaving every human, fae, and hybrid across the four kingdoms.
Meanwhile, the human king believes I’m trapped here, yearning for my death, and waiting for Lorian to save me.
But Regner hasn’t yet realized that I'll stop at nothing to free my people.
And he's the one who should be afraid of me.

Story
Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

Many centuries ago, desperate to save her dying sister, Dianna made a deal with Kaden, a monster far worse than any nightmare. Locked in servitude to him, she is forced to hunt down an ancient relic held by her most dangerous enemies: an army led by Samkiel, the World Ender. After the Gods War, Samkiel hid from everything, denying his crown and deserting his people. Now, an attack on those he loves sends him back to the realm he never wished to return to, and into the sights of an enemy he had hoped to forget.

What a cliffhanger! I need the next book!
I got started on this series on the recommendation of a friend, and wow, I've absolutely flown through them. I cannot wait for the next book to come out! What a cliffhanger!! I like the narrator and her different voices to tell the characters apart easily, and have their personalities come through.

Worst of the three books
By far, this was the longest, most drawn out book of the series thus far. The first book had me hooked enough to start the second and the series has only deteriorated from there. In my opinion, I found myself listening absentmindedly and not really caring for most of the storyline, the end came with a cliffhanger, but I am not interested in pursuing the series any further. I do enjoy the narration and found the voice actors to be quite well done. However, the book series itself is a non-finisher for me.
