About this listen

OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD! THE INSTANT NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING PHENOMENON.

‘Nothing short of epic’ Rosie Talbot, bestselling author of Sixteen Souls
‘A thrilling fantasy with the most delicious slow-burn romance’ M.A. Kuzniar, bestselling author of Midnight in Everwood
‘[A] titillating debut’ Publishers Weekly

Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games in this sizzling fantasy romance not to be missed.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya . . . The exceptional. The Elites. The Elites have possessed powers for decades, gifted to them by the Plague, while those born Ordinary are just that, banished from the kingdom and shunned from society.

No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as an Elite. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, Kai Azer, she’s thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition to showcase her ‘Elite’ powers.

If the Trials and the opponents don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for will if he discovers what Paedyn really is . . . completely Ordinary.

Be swept away by the first in the smash hit, dagger-to-the-throat romantasy trilogy that's taken the world by storm.

Also Available: Reckless and Powerful

Hungergames but with magic powers and enemies to lovers trope. Everything was perfect, accept the Ending (it broke my heart).

I was worried about the narrators as there weren't any reviews yet, but I really liked them both.

I need the next book asap

The tagline comparison of a Harry Potter meets hunger games story is very accurate! Lots of action and fast moving in the story to keep you listening

This book has ruined all other books for me. The way it’s written is flawless. Not once did it feel predictable or like something was over described like a lot of other books tend to do in this genre. I was hooked from the first few pages and a few chapters in I knew this would be the best fictional book I’d ever read. The banter is incomparable, I was smiling throughout the whole book! P.s. Kai is the best love interest I’ve come across and the narrators voice for Kai is swooooooon worthy 🫠

Best thing I’ve ever read & listened to

Captivating story kept me interested the whole time, the complex emotions each character faced and the inner turmoil made it relatable in everyday life atm because let’s be real we all go through that inner turmoil whether it be in friendships, relationships or work situations.

Captivating

Amazing story. But what made it better are the narrators! Sometimes I wish I could see what they look like hahaha.

I loved this story. The plot was engaging and entertaining, the characters were complex and flawed. The writing was beautiful and the narration was amazing!

Beautiful story with amazing characters

Sure some elements seemed borrowed from here and there (Spoiler: Hunger games, Harry Potter maze etc) but it was well written. Paeden is a badass and Kai is *chef’s kiss*. They have that dagger to throat chemistry.

The narrators were fantastic. They did a great job in bringing the story to life. The narrator for Kai was spot on with his ‘Darling’.

Must read for romantasy fans
