About this listen
In the cut-throat game of court life, masters manipulate pawns—and you never know which one you are. One thing is certain: there's no space on the board for love.
A penniless noblewoman, Kat is on the verge of losing everything when she's offered a well-paid job that could be her salvation… or her ruin. Drawn into court's deadly intrigues, she's given a single task: spy on the powerful fae lord known as the Night Queen's Shadow.
Bastian Marwood is handsome, ruthless, and cunning, but Kat can't decide if he's a threat to her kingdom or just her heart. To uncover the truth, she must play a dangerous game of desire and deceit, pushing him to reveal his secrets while protecting her own. But Bastian's shadows have a hold on her—one she isn't sure she wants to escape.
Kat soon learns that at court, nothing is as it seems, and even the best-laid plans can be destroyed in an instant. As a pawn on the board, she can't afford to fall victim to love—only fight for survival.
A Kiss of Iron is the first book in a new series featuring court intrigue, a morally grey hero, and an unforgettable enemies-to-lovers romance. Perfect for fans of Gild and From Blood and Ash.

King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I'm called his precious. His favored. I'm the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don't leave the confines of the palace, I'm safe. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.

Story
Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

A great portrayal of PTSD and how sexism affects women but make it mideval fae
The characters were compelling and yet the FMC’s inner monologue of anxiety and insecurity and low self esteem became tedious after an entire book of it. I almost DNF’d it because of that but I just wanted the payoff at the end! Yet, it’s an accurate portrayal of how trauma can affect people. The many examples of how women are mistreated and relegated to second class citizens—even when they appear to have a great deal of power on paper— was poignant. But also so heavy I had to fast forward through some parts. I didn’t understand some of the characters decisions, sometimes anxiety made them act really stupidly, and the love story needed a lot more depth to make it believable. Would have loved more lore and exploration of Kat’s husband and sister. The steam is a slow burn but fantastically written. Looking forward to learning more about the fae kingdoms in subsequent novels in the series.

where is the fantasy?
this is a very dull listen. the story is really lacking in fantasy, it contains characteristics commonly found in fantasy, but it lacked world building, descriptions, character development, complex characters, magic…even the plot had no focus on fantasy. the writing felt very juvenile, and what i would expect to see in a YA or children’s book but the only reason it is adult is because of the mature themes.
if you have never read fantasy before and are looking to slowly get into the genre or if you’re looking for a book that is more alternative universe romance than you may enjoy this. but if you are looking for a true fantasy romance or anything epic or high fantasy, i highly suggest skipping this book
