About this listen

Helena's life had always been quiet. In fact, she liked it that way. When her childhood friend returns home and tells her that she is the prophesied ruler of the Chosen, those blessed with the gift of magic, her quiet life goes up in flames.

Suddenly Helena finds herself surrounded by a circle of protectors, each having sworn their loyalty to her since her birth. All except for one: her Mate. It's not enough that she must learn how to use her magic and undergo a trial to prove her worthiness; in order to claim her title, Helena must also find the man who carries the other half of her soul.

Exiled due to a past he had no part in, Von is the last man the Chosen expect Helena to select. Despite their protests, his soul calls to hers and there's no denying that he was made for her. But the prophecy stands, and all isn't as it seems. There's an enemy lurking within plain sight who will stop at nothing to destroy her. Contains mature themes.

Time You Won't Get Back

This is a terrible way to pass time.

Helena is the same boring, perfect, prophesies "chosen one". She's beautiful, powerful and an angel. Everyone adores her, except for a few. Her "mate", Von is the most gorgeous, dangerous and toughest warrior... And that's where most of the character development ends. If there had been a little more invested in character creation, I may have given it 2 stars.

If I have to hear about Helena's aqua eyes again, I'll stab my brown eyes out!

The plot is lacklustre at best. At worst, there's a feel of stolen plotline from another excellent fantasy author.

This is slightly better than Fourth Wing, but not much.

Poor story

Really thought this girl was a 16 year old at the start by the way she was being treated, apparently she used is 21. The writing is so bad. Too on the nose. The MC is just too pure pure, kind, and BEAUTIFUL 183773919101x it is repeated in the book. If I hear AQUA EYES ONE MORE TIME ill stab my brown eyes out.

All of that for a setup that didnt even payoff at the end because it was so so fast. There’s so much filler, barely any plot and the poorest characters that are 1 DIMENSIONAL. ONE. why did I even read this
