Resumen del Editor

Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive. Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City's most notorious crime boss. But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom.

Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor's sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death. But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess - an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince.

Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being. Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him.

Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape. As she digs deeper, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all.

Speed up the Narrator

I very much enjoyed the story. I think the combination of characters are greatly varied and I love the differences. There were a few characters I think deserved a little more to their story. The ending is a little cliche.

Now my issue, the narrator. I was bored at the first sentence. It took far to long to get those words out, I sped it up to 1.2 and it made all the difference to include making it sound like she had inflection in her voice. I feel that this book could benefit from a more creative narration.

loved it

awesome!!! excited for book 2! I was unsure at first but once we left NY...oh yes!

Loves it!

I've read so many fantasy books, but somehow this one still feels original. The characters are fascinating. Like others, I anxiously await the next book.

Wow!

I noticed a lot of reviews said the narrators voice was bland. While I agree it didn’t have as much pep as some other narrators, it also wasn’t as bad as some others I’ve heard. And the story is so incredible, i get so lost, no longer aware of how the voice sounds anyways.

Very engaging can’t leave the book alone until finished

It was amazing world building is very intricate and detailed, and I could follow with ease must-read not a lot of spicy scenes, though sure Aley/M will buy it

Such an intricate and interesting story!

Love this narrator and love this story. It captivated me from the very beginning and I can't wait to find out what happens next. K.A. Tucker is such a great storyteller and I'm so invested in what happens to the Romeria and Zander.

Couldn’t stop listening

Loved this! I was never bored, and always asking questions! I love the mystery aspect, and I also liked forming my own conclusions. Which I should add I was wrong. I felt a disconnection with one of the characters which did lead me to guess one part of the ending correctly but I read a lot of these kinds of books and have a good sense 

Great characters and story line

This might be the book that gets me back into reading fantasy again!
So well done. Not that spicy but totally didn't mind as the story is goood!
I will say at times though there's a lot of information rolling in that I found myself having to repeat things so I could take it all in.

Listen at 1.2 speed

Great story! The characters, world building and magic are unique. If you love fae/elven/vampire romantasy, this will not disappoint. As usual with these books, it doesn’t really get juicy until the cliffhanger - so now I’m off to the next installment.

The narrator reads way too slow. Almost robotic. Once I sped it up to 1.2 and at times 1.5 I finally got into the story and characters. She actually does nice accent changes. It’s just the drill of the main character that’s slow cadence. Someone in the comments suggested the same regarding speed so I thought I would share for the next person.

Do it!

I don’t have too much to say other than DO IT! Just buy it. I’m too excited to buy the next book to spend too much time on the review! It was just so entertaining. And Elizabeth Klett did a phenomenal job! I didn’t hear whatever it is that everyone is complaining about. She had an impressive range. Every character had a distinct voice.
