Publisher's Summary

Paedyn and Kai battle with duty and desire in this highly anticipated second installment in the sizzling and epic romantic fantasy trilogy that’s packed with spicy tension and edge-of-your-seat betrayal.

The kingdom of Ilya is in turmoil…

After surviving the Purging Trials, Ordinary-born Paedyn Gray has killed the King and kickstarted a Resistance throughout the land. Now she’s running from the one person she had wanted to run to.

Kai Azer is now Ilya’s Enforcer, loyal to his brother Kitt, the new King. He has vowed to find Paedyn and bring her to justice.

Across the deadly Scorches, and deep into the hostile city of Dor, Kai pursues the one person he wishes he didn’t have to. But in a city without Elites, the balance between the hunter and hunted shifts—and the battle between duty and desire is deadly.

Cheesy & Predictable

This one fell flat for me. The plot was predictable. The romance, particularly from Kai was super cheesy. I hated when the narrator for Paedyn spoke as Kai. Their tone didn’t work.

Poetically Written

Beautiful story. Poetically written and a lovely read. Only criticism is that when you have male and female voice actors use them for the appropriate roles, rather than have man fake a female voice and visa versa. I never enjoy that with audio books. Otherwise the actors performances were enjoyable. Especially Kai. He read the role as if he were speaking poetry. It was beautiful.

Narrators were great

I think for YA, this is a great series. Narration was enjoyable and I can't wait to read the last installment.

Easy beautiful read

Rich layered beautifully written story! Great tension between characters and psychological accuracy that tie the two books together… I’m a therapist and I’m a fan of the minds represented in this book

male voice is chefs kiss

less steamy than my regular fantasy books. however, the sheer poetry of the MMC and how the voice actor delivered those lines was top notch.

the story was really well executed and enjoyable.

I really wish the female voice did all female character and male voice did the male characters, they each did a great job but just a preference of consistency.

Save yourself the trouble

The entire book is just filler.

Characters do not develop or evolve, nobody new is introduced, no new world building or meaningful exploration happens, etc.

The whole book would have been effective as 2 (mayyyybe 3?) chapters of properly edited story.
