About this listen

Audible presents the start of a thrilling new enemies to lovers, sapphic romantasy trilogy, for fans of Sarah J Maas, Leigh Bardugo and Rebecca Yarros, performed by Jessie Mei Li (SHADOW AND BONE) and Freya Mavor (INDUSTRY)

In the kingdom of Eynhallow, Princess Ythsie is preparing to choose a husband, in order to secure the kingdom’s future. Everything changes when Stroma, a skilled fighter from a remote village, becomes her new bodyguard. As mysterious deaths rock the palace, Ythsie and Stroma uncover a web of ancient magic and deadly court intrigue. The princess discovers she has a rare and dangerous gift - the ability to communicate with the Deathless, Eynhallow's cursed undead army.

Amidst the chaos, rivalry blossoms into romance between the princess and her loyal squire. With enemies closing in and the fate of the kingdom at stake, Ythsie and Stroma must navigate treacherous alliances, their growing feelings for each other, and their own destinies. How far will they go to protect their love and save their homeland?

Enjoyed this, a fitting start to what I would imagine will become an epic saga if it continues in the same vein, very much worth the credit😁👍🏻

Cracking story

This is my first book in this genre, and I fell in love with this world.

The fighting is raw and visceral, the romance simmered with longing, and the descriptions of the clothing are captivating.

The dynamic between Ythsie and Stroma feels so real, and their friendships with Pen are just as compelling.

The voice artists are fantastic and the subtle use of music and sound effects added to the story’s rich, immersive feel. It’s all so cinematic—I can easily imagine a three-season series bringing it to life on screen.

And I’d love to get my hands on a physical copy one day! In the meantime, I’ll wait patiently for the next book. Thank you!

Utterly consumed by this world

Ive got 2 hours left to listen of this story but I can honestly say right now that its the best story Ive listened to for some months. I really cant wait until the next book comes out. This is a rare find and one of the few I'll no doubt go back to listen to again in the future.

enjoyed the story and the performances. appears to be a set up for a "prince and the pauper" type scenario.
Some chapters had really long pauses between them. long enough that I would have time to unlock my phone and check the timer settings, thinking I'd accidentally pressed "stop at the end of the chapter."

long pauses between chapters.
