About this listen

A rare conduit of Light drawn to the Shadows. A spymaster who can't seem to stay away.

For as long as she can remember, Arken Asher has been searching for answers—driven by an insatiable hunger, a need to understand the meaning behind her dangerous arcane secrets. She's finally taken that leap into the unknown, leaving her simple life behind to attend the Arcane Studium, a prestigious college of magickal arts & sciences nestled in the heart of Sophrosyne, the City of the Gods.

As the Scouting & Reconnaissance Captain of the Elder Guard, Kieran Vistarii deals in Shadows, blood, and subterfuge. Scarred by his past but dedicated to safeguarding Sophrosyne's future, Kieran's self-imposed isolation is easily masked by charm and cocksure energy. Strange disappearances have kept his cadre busy as of late, and yet the captain finds himself sidetracked, distracted by the inexplicable allure of a certain golden-eyed Conduit and her curious mind.

They both know better than to get involved, but the Fates have other plans. The dark threads of prophecy were woven long ago, and the ties that bind just might be what it takes to mend these broken, star-crossed souls… or what forges a deadly bond that could damn them all.

Of Blood and Aether is the first book in the Harbingers series, a captivating and character-driven dark romantasy saga. Rife with sizzling tension, gut-wrenching angst, addictive banter, and ever-growing stakes, the Harbingers series is perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns & Roses, Fourth Wing, and From Blood & Ash.

Absolutley adored the story. But I really wish they'd just had the other actor speaking the lines of their own characters in each other's parts. it was jarring to go between

Fantastic Story, Narration could be better.

It was certainly a slow burn romantasy, but I could see it was building for a great series. That ending! I died! So good!

Jaw dropping ending!

loved the banter and flirting between the MCs. I really enjoyed the focus on the building of the relationship between the MMC and FMC. can't wait for book 2. Kieran is definitely giving shadow daddy vibes to rival daddy Nyktos and I'm here for it.

The narrators were perfect for the roles and added to the story. this was great to listen to.

best flirty banter
