About this listen

From bestselling Australian author Lynette Noni comes a dark, thrilling YA fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir.

Here at Zalindov, the only person you can trust is yourself.

Seventeen-year-old Kiva Meridan has spent the last ten years fighting for survival in the notorious death prison, Zalindov, working as the prison healer.

When the Rebel Queen is captured, Kiva is charged with keeping the terminally ill woman alive long enough for her to undergo the Trial by Ordeal: a series of elemental challenges against the torments of air, fire, water and earth, assigned to only the most dangerous of criminals.

Then a coded message from Kiva's family arrives, containing a single order: Don't let her die. We are coming. Aware that the Trials will kill the sickly queen, Kiva risks her own life to volunteer in her place. If she succeeds, both she and the queen will be granted their freedom.

But no one has ever survived.

With an incurable plague sweeping Zalindov, a mysterious new inmate fighting for Kiva's heart, and a prison rebellion brewing, Kiva can't escape the terrible feeling that her trials have only just begun.

This is YA

I didn’t realise this book was YA …. Until I started listening. While I enjoyed Nonis style of writing it needed a much better edit …. And clearly it wasn’t aimed at me. Audible needs to do a better job marking the styles of writing.

What a book

Such a great book, I had to go back and listen to the last part because I thought I miss heard.

Characters were likeable, plot was good and the pace was also good. Not too fast, not too slow. Very predictable in some parts but.....the ending.....omg the twist. Yssssssss bring on book 2.

Must read

Another amazing journey taken thanks to the brilliant writing skills of Lynette Noni. All I can say is there are many twists and turns but nothing like the jaw dropping twist to take you into the next book in the series.

Breathe taking

I never saw the ending coming, nail biting to the very end, couldn’t put it down for a second, and beautiful writing.

Lots of world and character building, great ending

While it might seem like a slow start with world and character building, it is worth getting through it for the twists and turns the story takes eventually. I didn't see them coming, especially the last one. This is just the book I have been looking for for some escapism. I would have prefered a less American narrator, but I got used to her eventually, and she was clear.
