Summary
 Bloomsbury presents Carving Shadows into Gold by Brigid Kemmerer, read by Nezar Alderazi, Cecily Bednar Schmidt, and Hunter Johns.

Dangerous magic. Fateful choices. Broken promises. The spellbinding series by New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer continues.

The King’s Courier Tycho has made a treacherous bargain. Now beholden to the magical scraver who saved King Grey’s life, one false move could end everything.

Jax escaped his life in Briarlock and traveled with Tycho to Emberfall. But life outside his small village brings unexpected challenges – and unlikely adversaries.

After years of hating the royal family and their magic, Callyn never expected to be at the Queen’s side, with magic at her fingertips. But at the royal court, she can’t trust anyone – including the man she thought she loved.

Cast apart, Tycho, Jax, and Callyn must learn to wield the magic that is dividing their kingdom. As the magical scravers attack from the north and the king’s rivals gain strength, time is running out.

War is looming. Love is tested. And magic could be the only answer ...©2025 Brigid Kemmerer (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Difficult Situations Family & Relationships Friendship Literature & Fiction Magic Royalty Science Fiction & Fantasy

I absolutely adore this series and I’m thrilled I don’t have to wait long for book 3. With all the spoilers for the Cursebreakers series in Forging, I’m not sure if I’ll bother reading it, but I’ve loved this spinoff regardless.

Can’t wait for book 3!!
