Story
After spending my entire life avoiding the creatures that murdered my parents, one stupid mistake binds me to them for four years. My penance? Become a human shadow at the infamous Evermore Academy, finishing school for the Seelie and Unseelie fae courts. All I want is to keep a low profile, but on day one, I make an enemy of the most powerful fae in the academy. The Winter Prince is arrogant, cruel, and apparently also my fae keeper. Meaning, I’m in for months of torture.

Story
Being a defective marks me in the eyes of the Solis Fae. Wingless. Magicless. Weak. To my kind, I’m nothing—not when strength is needed to survive the perpetual snow and ice that shrouds our northern continent in endless winter. But I’ve persevered, living a meaningful yet simple life with my sister...until the hated Crown Prince of the Winter Court thunders into our village. Prince Norivun’s massive black wings and potent magic cloud my senses and steal my breath. He’s beautiful yet brutal, so when he whisks me away and locks me in his castle I’m certain my death is tomorrow’s promise.

Mercenary Casia Greythorne cares about two things: completing whatever her latest job is and earning enough coin to buy the expensive medicine that's keeping her mentor alive. So when the king himself offers her a job, she can't resist the massive reward he offers - even if it means working with Captain Elander, the arrogant, mysterious right-hand to that king. Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: investigate the origins of the strange plague that's been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.

Publisher's Summary
Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black, this first book in a dark and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!
Light magic is forbidden.
Dark magic spells death.
Haven has both.
After the Prince of Penryth saved her from captivity, 17-year-old Haven Ashwood spends her days protecting the kind prince and her nights secretly fighting the monsters outside the castle walls.
When one of those monsters kidnaps Prince Bell, Haven must ally with Archeron Halfbane and his band of immortals to rescue her friend.
Her quest takes her deep into the domain of a warped and vicious queen where the rules are simple: break her curse or die.
Lost in a land of twisted magic and fabled creatures, Haven finds herself unprepared, not just for the feelings she develops for Archeron, but for the warring powers raging inside her.
Her rare and forbidden type of magic may be their only hope...but mixing light and dark comes with a steep price.
Haven’s soul.
Faced with impossible love, heartbreaking betrayals, and a queen intent on destroying the realm, only one thing remains certain.
Haven must shatter the curse or it will devour everything she loves.

Great start but too short
This whole book felt like an interesting build up to the next book. Not really enough of a story on its own.
In saying that, it does have potential, will have to see if the next book lives up to it.

It's a beautiful story of a mortal girl Haven who is the sworn protector of a prince. It's an incredibly fast paced story that grips you from beginning to end. I hate clifhangers but I will wait for book 2 patiently for this series. Vanessa Moyen is brilliant I loved her so much, she is amazing thank you.

A great story with a fantastic narrator
This was a random recommendation from the Internet Bots and boy am I glad I acquiesced! A great story with interesting characters and for once no YA Insta Love that is unrealistic and forced upon us. Whilst the foundation for a few relationships in the future have been laid, it feels very natural. There are also varying depictions of love that make the bonds depicted in the novel more interesting - familial, platonic, lover...all of which set in a great world with interesting magic systems still to be explored (but that didn't feel lacking in the first tome).
My only gripe is that the book didn't really stand on it's own - although it's very clearly a series, it did bug me that even a small arc wasn't completed in this book. None of the main goals accomplished, and even the side goals have only been set up with no temporary resolution. Although it's a great spot to end it from a cliff-hanger, want-to-read-more point of view, I still think it lacks a little closure to by a book by itself. That said, I have the next audiobook downloaded and ready to listen to so it's not too much of a hindrance.
*NOTES FOR THE AUDIOBOOK, AS READ BY VANESSA MOYEN*
I'm very particular about audiobooks, not just content of the book itself but of the reader, and boy did Vanessa do a spectacular job. Great distinction of narrative voices (despite the number of male 'villainous' characters), and great inflection and tone for the various perspectives portrayed. A great audiobook narrator to be my first audiobook in about 3 years. Would recommend.

3 star listen
I’m not sure how I feel about this book.
I feel like it could get better but there’s so much to read out there.
The characters are ok.
Everything just needs more growth.
Narration was ok. 3 stars.
Just not overly invested right now. This was recommended to me so I’m sure it gets better.
Main character is a human with light and dark magic and other characters think she can break the curse plaguing the land.
Smut? No
I would say this is a YA novel
World building needs work.

A very maybe book
I’m still undecided whether I want to start the second book, but after I finished listening I got the feeling that I didn’t even comprehend half that happened.
Whether that was the narration or the actual writing I can’t tell. There’s so much potential in this series that fell short, but I have a feeling I’ll end up getting the second one

Amazing narration
This is definitely the first book in a long series. This isn't really a book so much as the start of a big story. If you want the story, then you'll need the whole series. Not to say this wasn't an awesome book. I would definitely recommend it and hope you do decide to read it. Enjoy!
