Wind & Wildfire

A Mages of the Wheel Prequel

By: J.D. Evans

Narrated by: Tim Campbell, Caren Naess

He is the future sultan, a man who wields brutal magic and only knows how to be what they’ve made him. She is a commoner, a woman who champions the vulnerable and treads where she does not belong.

Dilay Akar is the daughter of a judge. By day, she trains the wealthy in magic, and by night, she breaks the Sultan’s laws. But even those closest to her do not always appreciate what she is striving for, or believe that she can achieve it.

Omar Sabri is the Sultan’s tool, flaying minds open to obtain their secrets and truths. Everyone who looks at him sees only the prince—or the monster. Even he cannot see the man beneath the power and the position.

When Omar secretly enlists Dilay’s help in controlling his magic, it sets off a chain of events that will reshape Tamar for generations to come. Dilay will have to choose between the familiar and the powerful; between people she cares for, and whether to hurt one to help many.

The Wheel turns for balance in all things, and where love springs, may also spring hate.

A delightful listen

A great addition to the world JD Evens made me fall in love with. Omar and Dilay’s story is beautiful

Read first or after book 1

I read this after book 1 and it was satisfying. The author has a knack for romance but be prepared for a slow burn. I enjoyed this book as much as the others.

Wow!

What a wonderful story! Amazing setting. Wonderfully original magic system. A forbidden romance. Excellent storytelling!

Ooooph - one of the best in the series so far.

Wow. This love story. It was everything. I think this is tied with book 1 for best in the series so far.

Great story and narrator!

I loved getting to learn about Naime’s parents. The narrator did another incredible job honoring the character’s personalities!
