Publisher's Summary

From best-selling Australian author Lynette Noni comes a dark, thrilling YA fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir.

Here at Zalindov, the only person you can trust is yourself.

Seventeen-year-old Kiva Meridan has spent the last 10 years fighting for survival in the notorious death prison Zalindov, working as the prison healer.

When the Rebel Queen is captured, Kiva is charged with keeping the terminally ill woman alive long enough for her to undergo the Trial by Ordeal: a series of elemental challenges against the torments of air, fire, water and earth, assigned to only the most dangerous of criminals.

Then a coded message from Kiva's family arrives, containing a single order: Don't let her die. We are coming. Aware that the Trials will kill the sickly queen, Kiva risks her own life to volunteer in her place. If she succeeds, both she and the queen will be granted their freedom.

But no one has ever survived.

With an incurable plague sweeping Zalindov, a mysterious new inmate fighting for Kiva's heart and a prison rebellion brewing, Kiva can't escape the terrible feeling that her trials have only just begun.

This is YA

I didn’t realise this book was YA …. Until I started listening. While I enjoyed Nonis style of writing it needed a much better edit …. And clearly it wasn’t aimed at me. Audible needs to do a better job marking the styles of writing.

What a book

Such a great book, I had to go back and listen to the last part because I thought I miss heard.

Characters were likeable, plot was good and the pace was also good. Not too fast, not too slow. Very predictable in some parts but.....the ending.....omg the twist. Yssssssss bring on book 2.

absolutely loved it!!

absolutely loved this story, lynette noni is a great author/story teller. her books flow at a great pace, her characters are either lovable or easy to hate. I'll definitely be reading or listening to more of her books.

amazing listen, great ending

I have listened to lots of novels by Lynette Noni, including the whisper duology and the akarnae series which i loved but i was not ready for the huge twist at the end. i can’t wait to listen to the next two books 💗 great characters and i loved the use of voice by the narrator, makes me feel like i’m really there.
