About this listen

Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home.

On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless.

Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things - ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future - it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her.

This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world.

An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything.

Including her heart.

Contains mature themes.

How this book isn’t more hyped… the banter and character development was fantastic and well paced. Can’t wait to listen to book 2.

Unexpectedly brilliant. A must listen.

A clever plot, with a cleverly expanding "world". Starting with a house, then a village, then an island of many villages and lastly a multi kingdom universe. This allowed for details to be added as the central characters progressed down the plot line.
Believable characters with their own faults or frailties.

Eloquently written. Good world building. Clever unpredictable plot. Well performed.

I started listened to this because I only like Elizabeth Evans on Audible. She has the only voice I can tolerate. So I'm going through all the books she voiced. Anyways, I loved this story. It was really sweet and enjoyable. The story is descriptive and imaginative. I actually bought the book so I could read it when Audible wasn't appropriate.

I bought the book!

I was skeptical as to whether I would enjoy this or not from the description but I'm glad I gave it a chance as it's one of the best stories I've "read" in a long time.

the narrator was decent, but some voices sounded the same. however this wasn't really an issue as the dialogue and written voices of the characters were so superb that I knew who they were just by what they said and their manner of speaking.

Cannot recommend this one high enough!

loved it can't wait for more

The narrator of this book absolutely brought the story to life! Her accents were perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her!

Along with that I’ve seen this book on social media so much but the cover didn’t really grab me so I overlooked it so many times but that was a mistake!

A fantastic and unique story that keeps you guessing, and finishes on the best plot twist!

Looking forward to diving into book 2

Phenomenal audiobook
