Everyone knows who the magical estate will choose for its next ruler. Or do they? Will it be the lord’s eldest son, who he despised? His favourite nephew, with the strongest magical land-sense? His scandalous daughter, who ran away from home years ago to study illusion? Hetta knows it won’t be her, and she’s glad of it. Returning home for her father’s funeral, all Hetta has to do is survive the family drama and avoid entanglements with irritatingly attractive local men until the Choosing.

Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

Story
Katarina Ashowan was not made for courtly life. Sure, her father is the famous house witch of Daxaria so she was raised among majestic castles, proper manners, and royal expectations. But Kat is also a mutated witch whose power aligns predominantly with fire. She’s more comfortable riding horses or learning to fight than she is making polite conversation and wearing fancy dresses. Which is why her upcoming assignment—serving her best friend, Alina, the soon-to-be crowned Troivackian queen—is anything but ideal.

When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he’s an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He’s satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals. But Fin’s secret identity doesn’t stay hidden for long. After all, it’s not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs.

Publisher's Summary
The fae are real, and Hetta Valstar is trying her best to marry one.
If Hetta and Wyn ever manage to marry, it will be the first union between Faerie and Mortal since the Iron Law was revoked. The mortal Queen has given them her blessing - sort of. Now, Wyn needs permission from the fae High King.
There’s an intensely personal reason why they need to tie the knot as soon as possible, and time is not on their side. The clock is ticking. Except in Wyn’s home court, which is trapped under magical stasis. To break the spell will mean venturing into the deepest realms of Faerie, where even fae princes - and definitely human lords - fear to tread.
Unfortunately, the fae problems aren’t limited to Faerie. Public tension is rising, and the reveal of Wyn’s true identity makes him and Hetta the centre of the storm. On top of this, Stariel’s magic is going haywire, and Hetta is struggling with her intensifying powers - and she might not be the only one affected.
The High King might be the only one who can help, since he’s responsible for the fae returning to the Mortal Realm in the first place.
If only they knew where he was.

Great story
This was a great addition to the series, but I must say I was a bit disappointed with the narrator's male voice impressions. Although her general narration was ok, all the males unfortunately sounded like the same high-strung, pompous twat which was frustrating. Not only were they difficult to listen to, but it was challenging at times to know which male was talking in conversations as they had the same voice. I feel they should have stuck with the original narrator for the whole series

Missing Finty Williams
Still kind of enjoyed story but the narration of the male parts made it grating. If you can, I would read it if that’s possible. If there was a scheduling conflict they should have just waited.

Loose ends tied up
An enjoyable third installment to this series, although the change in narrator initially put me off. They spoke so fast - I have never had to make the tempo slower before.
This narrator did a better job of Hetta in that it made her sound more age appropriate except now she sounds daft all at the same time - not the rebellious person she sounded like in the first one. The rest of the characters were awful.
I stuck it out as I was invested though and look forward to the audio book being released for the next one.

Ok but narration very disappointing
The story continues but the change in the narrator significantly impacts the enjoyment. The narrator for the first 2 books has such a gentle, expressive, rich, style which adds significantly to the audible experience, by contrast the new narrator has a clipped and crushed style that whist expressive treats the characters in such an overdone manner I found the listen much less enjoyable. I expected a calm relaxing lilting listen that seamlessly transitions between characters to a rushed clipped almost comical over-exaggerated disjointed listen. The pacing varied significantly which I also found distracting. Enjoyed the story but wanted this listen to be done so I could move on to the next book hopefully with the wonderful original narration artist!

Great conclusion - dreadful narration
This was a fantastic conclusion to the Stariel series - I love all of these characters and the journey they've been through. 5 stars for the story - I can't wait to read more of A. J. Lancaster's work! If I was the author, however, I would be FUMING at the bloody awful narration. I'm glad I love this series, as I otherwise could not have finished listening (and it was a struggle at times). Harsh character accents that all sounded the same, lots of mispronunciations of common words, and odd, confusing pacing plagued this audiobook. Did no one listen to this before releasing it?? The previous narrator was brilliant and I hope they return to her for any future works. Overall, however - thank you A. J. Lancaster for a wonderful series!

I did not like the change in narrator. Hard to tell the male characters apart, which made for a disappointing end in what had been an enjoyable series.

Terrible narration ruins the conclusion
I listen to many audiobooks and this is one of the worst narrations I've heard. The reading is painfully stilted, the male characters are difficult to listen to, robotic and toneless. Such a shame as the writing is quite good, the story decent. Persevered for the sake of completion.
