About this listen

The sensational enemies-to-lovers romantasy debut following the heir to a fantasy kingdom, and the seductive spirit sent to claim her soul.

'I’ve seen monsters, Nizzara, and you are not one of them. A little beast maybe, but not a monster.'

Nizzara has always been able to perceive spirits better than the average caster. When she enters a deadly tournament to end her betrothal, she's determined to win without succumbing to the addictive spirit magic she channels or taking a life in the duel ring. Finding herself outmatched, Nizzara must face her fear of power and team up with Dagen an enemy who is half-ghost and all charm to survive the tournament.

Dagen, the last King of Zarr, was killed by Nizzara’s father ten years ago. Now a half-ghost able to phase between his human and spirit form he is stuck in another realm, hunting wretched souls. When his keeper offers him a chance to reclaim his freedom in exchange for Nizzara’s soul, Dagen takes the deal.

There’s only one catch: she must freely give it to him by the tournament’s end or his own soul is forfeit.

Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Vesselless is a spellbinding fantasy of magic and intrigue and a tantalizing slow burn that will have you hooked until the very last page.

I found this book whilst looking for a new trial/combat book, and found a beautiful story instead. As a student of HEMA Italian londsword I was initially discouraged by the dagger and swordfighting discribed here, (but there issue is nothing new, very few authors get those details correct). The world building, magic system, and character development over the course of this story we'll made up for it. Just so you know, the trial aspects of this book are not the point of this book, they are more of a ticking clock countdown. If you are looking for strength in dark places, the cost of loyalty and betrayal, love and heart breaking loss, than this might be the book for you. Also helps that I love the narrator Samantha Brentmoor
