About this listen
Those who play with prophecies will get burned… 23-year-old Undesirable Durvla Garrick has a dangerous secret. Being both deaf and having a chronic ailment, her very existence is treasonous. So, when the queen’s mercenaries accuse her of stealing a dress, she comes quietly—better to be arrested for her knitting skills than her illness.
Under the watchful eye of the broody royal guard, Tiernan Kilkenny—the embodiment of the very people she’s spent her life hiding from—Durvla is appointed dressmaker to the princess. But castle life isn’t quite what she expected, and nor is its staff… With the Queen dying, Princess Carys Meredyth fa Rhodri is reluctant to inherit the throne of a broken Kingdom when she feels so broken herself. Magic has been outlawed for a millennium—so why are her memories filled with whispers of enchantment?
When Carys finds a book that only she can read, more questions unravel. Are the fairy tales that have provided her comfort since childhood really only stories? Or has the truth been right there all along?

Quick Summary
This book was such a fun ride. Two points of view, hidden magic and wild twists that kept me guessing the whole way through. The characters tugged at my heart, especially Dervla, and the slow-burn yearning was written so beautifully it made me smile and ache at the same time
Reading Thoughts
📔Was great to have the 2 points of view
📔The concept of the story and the undesirables plus the hidden magic
📔It was so intriguing to unravel the mystery behind what is happen to both the main characters
📔The yearning between characters was written so well
📔The way Dervla continues to think she is a burden so she doesn’t let anyone get close is heart breaking
📔The twists in this book are extreme, just when you think you know what is happening…bam it all changes
Words that linger
🍷The first thing I need to do is start taking back my power as heir apparent.
🍷 People look at our differences and underestimate us. But if there is one thing I have learned it’s this:let them underestimate you. Then prove them wrong.
🍷 With a slow exhalation, I stop my mind from spiralling and chant all the senses aloud myself over and over. “Loch, Cold, Outdoors, Birds, Citrus.”
