About this listen

From Rebecca Ross, acclaimed author of The Queen’s Rising duology, comes a story about magic, vengeance, and the captivating power of dreams. A must-listen for fans of The Hazel Wood and The Night Circus.

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, she is unknowingly drawn into a century-old conflict. She seeks revenge, but as she gets closer to Phelan, one of the handsome young magicians, secrets - as well as romance - begins to rise.

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

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

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
