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?

thoroughly enjoyable if not mildly predictable but enjoyable all the same. worth a read and your time especially if you like books placed in an older time. main characters entitled can be a little irritating in the beginning but progresses and grows into a better person as time goes on.

I didn’t expect much as most fantasies these days seem to all read the same.
I was pleasantly surprised with a unique story full of twists and turns, likeable characters and loathsome antagonists. The relationships presented in the book aren’t suddenly thrusted into being with little to no build up. Not in your usual fashion where it’s painstakingly obvious, but rather little jabs and teasing built over time.

Also, magic!! 🪄

Unexpected gem 💎

I loved this! The characters had unique and compelling voices, both excellently read. It reminded me of the Song of The Lioness, but with a Sapphic spin, more-fleshed out characters, and higher-stakes plot.

Tortall, but make it Sapphic
