Publisher's Summary

Free the crows, Fallon, and they will make you queen.

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well...by all but one.

Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I'd go.

If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.

And that I'd become this demon's obsession.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Mary E. Pearson will devour this epic fantasy romance full of deceit, betrayal, and false loves that could swallow a person whole.

What a story

An intricate story. Can’t wait for the next book. The narrator took a little warming up to. Maybe 30 minutes but then you realise she is perfect for the book

What a delighted book

I was completely enchanted by this story and can’t wait to read book 2. So many fantasy books are disappointing with contrived plots, annoying whiny heroines or simply badly written but this book was well written with an engaging plot, wonder characters and a very slow burn romance. The narrator was a joy to listen to. Well done.

Fantastic new bent on Fae storytelling

I loved this new world of Fae lore and magic. The story evolves well and was very engaging. Looking forward to listening to the next one.

Awesome. Highly recommend

Just I love the story line, about a halfling that doesn’t fit in but is special and meant for an adventure.

The narrator made it!

I loved the Falon’s internal monologue. She is so likable. Between the three books there were so many times I laughed it loud. The love scene in the second book was also written beautifully and tenderly.. it wasn’t crass (as so many are). The narrator is FANTASTIC. Her delivery is perfect!
The action and story isn’t as complex and intricate as other fantasy novels, but it’s enjoyable, easy to read and light.

Binged it then started #2

My first audiobook ever, and I was not disappointed (I did listen to over 100 samples before picking this book based on the narrator 😂)
I love ACOTAR, fourth wing and those sorts of books so this was a winner.
A bit slow of a storyline but that’s something I personally enjoy.
