About this listen

Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home.

On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless.

Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things - ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future - it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her.

This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world.

An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything.

Including her heart.

Contains mature themes.

Unexpectedly brilliant. A must listen.

How this book isn’t more hyped… the banter and character development was fantastic and well paced. Can’t wait to listen to book 2.

Eloquently written. Good world building. Clever unpredictable plot. Well performed.

A clever plot, with a cleverly expanding "world". Starting with a house, then a village, then an island of many villages and lastly a multi kingdom universe. This allowed for details to be added as the central characters progressed down the plot line.
Believable characters with their own faults or frailties.

I bought the book!

I started listened to this because I only like Elizabeth Evans on Audible. She has the only voice I can tolerate. So I'm going through all the books she voiced. Anyways, I loved this story. It was really sweet and enjoyable. The story is descriptive and imaginative. I actually bought the book so I could read it when Audible wasn't appropriate.

Must read!

This has filled the wound that SJ Maas’s TOG series left in me - finally! What an awesome tale. Love the characters, love the world building, love the plot. Cannot wait to start book 2 straight away.

Brilliant narration as always from Elizabeth Evans.

loved it can't wait for more

I was skeptical as to whether I would enjoy this or not from the description but I'm glad I gave it a chance as it's one of the best stories I've "read" in a long time.

the narrator was decent, but some voices sounded the same. however this wasn't really an issue as the dialogue and written voices of the characters were so superb that I knew who they were just by what they said and their manner of speaking.

Cannot recommend this one high enough!
