But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he’s an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He’s satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals. But Fin’s secret identity doesn’t stay hidden for long. After all, it’s not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs.

Seven years on the run from her abusive father, and with no hope of sanctuary among the dwindling pockets of human civilization, Lark is out of options. Her only leverage is a cursed power: she can thrust fear onto others, leaving all threats fleeing in terror. It’s a means of survival as she searches for a place to call home. If the campfire myths of her childhood are true, Lark’s sole chance for refuge could lie in Cagmar, the city of trolls—a brutal species and the sworn enemies of humanity.

Publisher's summary
The Lord of Stariel is dead. Long live the Lord of Stariel. Whoever that is.
Everyone knows who the magical estate will choose for its next ruler. Or do they? Will it be the lord’s eldest son, who he despised? His favourite nephew, with the strongest magical land-sense? His scandalous daughter, who ran away from home years ago to study illusion?
Hetta knows it won’t be her, and she’s glad of it. Returning home for her father’s funeral, all Hetta has to do is survive the family drama and avoid entanglements with irritatingly attractive local men until the Choosing. Then she can leave. But whoever Stariel chooses will have bigger problems than eccentric relatives to deal with.
Winged, beautifully deadly problems.
For the first time in centuries, the fae are returning to the Mortal Realm, and only the Lord of Stariel can keep the estate safe. In theory.
The Lord of Stariel is the first book in the Stariel quartet.

Story
Written in the then fashionable style form of letters between the characters in the book, Jane Austen tells the story of the beautiful widow Lady Susan. Lady Susan has an eye toward re-marrying well, and marrying off her teenage daughter. To achieve her objectives, she spins a tale of Victorian humor and manipulation. In the end, she outsmarts even herself. Jane Austen's earliest known serious work, Lady Susan is a short, epistolary novel that portrays a woman bent on the exercise of her own powerful mind and personality to the point of social self-destruction.

A cut above the stereotypical fantasy novel
I’m a sucker for a British female voice actor. Also a sucker for fantasy/magic novels. Normally I’ll listen to any “garbage” fantasy novel (the stereotypical “will they won’t they, oops I’m magical!” Novels that are made for a quick buck, not originality). I would, however, rate this a cut above the stereotypical fantasy novels. While it has many aspects of common lore and a “will they won’t they,” it doesn’t overly draw it out. The author keeps things tidy and doesn’t dwell on any one factor (aside from Win feeling like a burden, but that’s just his personality). It also has a pleasant Agatha Christie vibe with the mystery mixed in. I appreciate mysteries that are able to be solved if you think hard enough, but aren’t blatantly obvious. It’s easy to create a “mystery” if you’ve withheld vital information, but most of their scenarios don’t do that. It’s nice to know that if you are clever enough, you could take a guess at the right answer

What a fun surprise!
I found this title free as part of my membership catalog, I figured it would be ok as most of the free books bare, but I was pleasantly shocked to find a new favorite series. The story itself is very unique, it's definitely not a retelling of any story premise I have ever read. The characters are really well developed and continue to evolve (throughout not only the book, but the whole series) the estate on which the family lives is even a character. I loved that! The story is about humans and fae working on their relationship, it's also about family connecting with each other and their land and it's about a strong female lead establishing her leadership and building respect.
The lady lead is fantastic, she's smart, independent, resourceful and fierce. I loved her! She reminded me a bit of the Veronica Speedwell character in the Veronica Speedwell Mysteries by Deanna Raeburn (sp?). The male characters were all written really well, they were all very different but interacted with each other in really honest ways - they all show strengths and at the same time show their vulnerabilities.
The narration was VERY well done. I wasn't sure at first, but once you get into the story she does an amazing job. Spoiler Alert - this narrator read the first 3 books and sadly was replaced for the 4th. The reader of the 4th was good, but not nearly as good as this reader :(
Overall, if you like stories with a strong, smart female lead, that involve the fae, and move along quickly you'll probably really enjoy this series. If I had to pick a place and time that might have been the inspiration for the setting, I'd say Stariel is in a similar location to Scotland and the story is set in the 20's or 30's?

Such a good and unexpected treat
Was really surprised by this book. I loved that it was free for me through Audible, and I was able to hear the start to this unique family story. It’s cute, had a lot of heart, and made me want to read the rest of the series.

Great audio book of magic fantasy.
I loved the narration and the story was very entertaining. Hetta, Win and her family members at Stariel struggle to assume control of legacy and deal with the fae.

A beautiful and delightful read
I quite enjoyed this book. There was drama, yet not heavy handed or traumatic. There were a few twists, not ones I couldn’t see from the beginning but there were some decent red herrings as to make me guess my initial solve from time to time. There was romance that never got sappy. Main female character was intelligent, witty, perceptive and precocious and was lead by both her heart and her head. I loved the family dynamic that while there were times they were at odds and cross purposes, they ultimately had love, mostly trust in each other and respect. I hope that continues as the story is setting up for more challenging and potentially sad trials. It was a nice and ultimately lovely story that I didn’t want to leave.

one of my favorites!
It quickly turned into one of my favorite series, no less because Finty Williams is the perfect narrator for these books. She put so much personality into the characters, I greatly enjoyed listening to her. I was horribly surprised and utterly devastated when suddenly in book 4 the narrator changed. Ms Williams was a delight to listen to and the books aren't the same without her.
