Sublime Dominion

By: Maria Ian

Narrated by: Maria Ian

Her world didn't shatter. She did.

The explosion that should have ended Moura's life rewired her instead — $4.2 million in surgical reconstruction, but her identity paid the real cost. Her instincts turned lethal.

She understands the Fermat Point better than anyone alive, a deadly military secret designed to eradicate unexpected enemies. But now she knows how to think like it.

Her carefully controlled world fractures when her protégé, George, a spy convicted of treason, is released from solitary confinement, and an impostor clone of Moura interferes with company operations. The clone haunts her, accusing her of abandoning the idealism that drove her as a young woman, before Patrick and Stefan engineered her transformation.

Her husband, Patrick, is cruel and prescient. Her lover Stefan, a shady warlord who burns worlds to preserve her, has her loyalty. They believe she is compliant. They don't realize that she now must learn to calculate them.

Moura’s former attorney, Craig Malcault, uncovered the fatal trap: Distinguishing an ally from a threat requires knowing how allies become suspects, and suspects become threats. That was what no one was meant to find. Moura has seventy-two hours to outmaneuver the machinery built to destroy her. The only person who can save her is the one she's terrified to become.

SUBLIME DOMINION - A psychological espionage thriller where survival demands you betray what you thought you were.

Would you die to stay who you were… or cross every line to become who they fear?

Discover what lies beyond the breaking point.

The Fantasy Escape I Didn’t Know I Needed

Listening to Sublime Dominion pulled me in faster than I expected. The world‑building felt rich without ever dragging, and I kept sneaking in extra listening time just to see what twist was coming next. One night I stayed up way too late because a single scene had my heart racing. It’s the kind of story that makes regular life feel a little dull in the best way immersive, addictive, and surprisingly emotional.

Make the unexpected come true

A lot can be learned from what you never expected could happen. The author explores the many corners of the human psyche where unexpected wonders arise, including the not-so-kind ones that reveal truths we can learn from, which makes it a very kind thriller overall.

A Heroine Who Refuses to Stay in Her Box

Watching Moura shift from controlled asset to calculating survivor was absolutely riveting. The internal war between who she was, who they made her, and who she chooses to become is the core of this story—and it’s brutal in the best way. Fans of morally gray protagonists will eat this up.

Gripping and thrilling!

I was instantly drawn into this novel and couldn’t put it down. The layered psychological suspense, moral ambiguity, and relentless espionage create a gripping experience, especially as Moura wrestles with what she is becoming. It’s a sharp, haunting thriller that lingers after the final page and leaves you questioning identity, allegiance, and the true cost of survival.

Strength is quiet, not always visible

Moura’s journey made me reflect on how often we underestimate the strength it takes to rebuild after a traumatic event, both physically and emotionally. I found myself thinking about the moments in life where clarity only comes under pressure, and how resilience isn’t 'bout being invincible, but about navigating uncertainty with intelligence and courage. The story also reminded me that trust is fragile and must be earned, and that sometimes the hardest obstacles are the ones within ourselves. By the end, I felt a mix of exhilaration and introspection.. the thrill of espionage intertwined with a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to confront our own limits.
