Summary

From Rebecca Ross, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals, comes a story about magic, vengeance, and the captivating power of dreams. A must-read for fans of Stephanie Garber, Olivie Blake, and Isabel Ibañez.

The realm of Azenor has spent years plagued by a curse. Every new moon, magic flows from the nearby mountain and brings nightmares to life. Only magicians—who serve as territory wardens—stand between people and their worst dreams.

Clementine Madigan is ready to take over as the warden of her small town, but when two magicians arrive to challenge her father for his domain, she is unknowingly drawn into a century-old conflict. She seeks revenge, but as she gets closer to Phelan, one of the vexingly handsome young magicians, secrets—as well as romance—begin to rise.

Clementine must unite with Phelan to fight the realm’s curse, which seems to be haunting their every turn. But will their efforts be enough to save Azenor from the nightmares that lurk around every corner?

  • Enemies to Lovers: She wants revenge on the vexingly handsome magician trying to steal her birthright. He’s drawn to her magic and fire. The tension is everything.
  • A World of Secrets: A century-old conflict, a mysterious curse that brings dreams to life, and two rival magicians who aren’t what they seem. In Azenor, nothing is as it appears.
  • A Deadly Curse: Every new moon, the realm’s worst nightmares manifest as terrifying reality. Only the wardens, magicians like Clementine, can stand against the terror.
  • Standalone Fantasy Romance: With a rich world, a captivating plot, and a swoon-worthy slow burn romance, this complete standalone novel is perfect for devouring in one sitting.

First half of this book was so fun and well paced. The revenge plot and the monthly dream battles were so much stronger than the throne quest and court politicking we got in the end. There were so many sneaky characters that went underutilised though, such as the male MCs brother. I would have really preferred an urban fantasy/slice of life situation, just sticking with our main characters enjoying adventures in the city. I didn't even need the dream-wrangling to be explained or resolved, it was actually really fun as an ongoing Spirited Away-esque thing that just so happens to happen.

Hope this author continues to write more strong characters and feels confident enough to let us hang out with them more often. I really did enjoy so many aspects of this book.

Loved the MCs

Once I started this book I could not stop. I found the magic and world building fascinating, the characters likeable. I am very fussy with narrators, they make or break audiobooks for me and I think she did a fantastic job. The story at times had you thinking you knew what direction it was going in and then catches you off guard.

Surprisingly captivating

I love these books, sometimes it’s a bit cliche or earlier writing can be a bit stilting but this was a good story overall. The narration absolutely ruined it for me - the random tone changes and overacting emotion in narration took me out of the story as well as a lot of mispronunciation. Going from the annoying vocal fry whisper voice to matter of fact dead tone descriptions wasn’t enjoyable. But overall not the worst

Interesting, bad narration
