About this listen

Free the crows, Fallon, and they will make you queen.

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well...by all but one.

Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I'd go.

If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.

And that I'd become this demon's obsession.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Mary E. Pearson will devour this epic fantasy romance full of deceit, betrayal, and false loves that could swallow a person whole.

This story was epic!

Just the right amount of adventure and romance. I instantly became immersed in this one and binged listened until it was finished. Loved the narrator as well! Can’t want to get into book 2.

good story weird narrator

I enjoyed the story and plot but the Narrator had a really weird style and accent - saying things like thought as "thot" and calm as "colm", caught as "cot", palm as "pulm."
I don't know if it was an attempt to sound more posh but it was really distracting.

What a story

An intricate story. Can’t wait for the next book. The narrator took a little warming up to. Maybe 30 minutes but then you realise she is perfect for the book

Great story

Excellent story and narrator. However I felt that there needed to be more variation when it came to the males voices. They all sounded the same and the tanner of their voices didn’t reflect the characters at all.

Great listen

I really enjoyed the story line and totally get the posh accent of the main character, however the male accent was just not right.

The narrator made it!

I loved the Falon’s internal monologue. She is so likable. Between the three books there were so many times I laughed it loud. The love scene in the second book was also written beautifully and tenderly.. it wasn’t crass (as so many are). The narrator is FANTASTIC. Her delivery is perfect!
The action and story isn’t as complex and intricate as other fantasy novels, but it’s enjoyable, easy to read and light.

Awesome. Highly recommend

Just I love the story line, about a halfling that doesn’t fit in but is special and meant for an adventure.
