Publisher's summary

Bloomsbury presents Forging Silver into Stars by Brigid Kemmerer, read by Nezar Alderazi, Chase Brown and Cecily Bednar Schmidt.

New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer expands the Cursebreaker world in an electrifying new series.

When ancient magic tests a newfound love, a dark fate beckons....

Magic has been banished in the land of Syhl Shallow for as long as best friends Jax and Callyn can remember. They once loved the stories of the powerful magesmiths and mythical scravers who could conjure fire or control ice, but now they’ve learned that magic only leads to danger: magic is what killed Callyn’s parents, leaving her alone to raise her younger sister. Magic never helped Jax, whose leg was crushed in an accident that his father has been punishing him for ever since. Magic won’t save either of them when the tax collector comes calling, threatening to take their homes if they can't pay what they owe.

Meanwhile, Jax and Callyn are astonished to learn magic has already returned to Syhl Shallow—in the form of a magesmith who's now married to their queen. Now, the people of Syhl Shallow are expected to allow dangerous magic in their midst, and no one is happy about it.

When a stranger rides into town offering Jax and Callyn silver in exchange for holding secret messages for an anti-magic faction, the choice is obvious—even if it means they may be aiding in a plot to destroy their new king. It’s a risk they’re both willing to take. That is, until another visitor arrives: handsome Lord Tycho, the King’s Courier, the man who’s been tasked with discovering who’s conspiring against the throne.

Suddenly, Jax and Callyn find themselves embroiled in a world of shifting alliances, dangerous flirtations, and ancient magic . . . where even the deepest loyalties will be tested.

Critic reviews

"Propulsive, intricate plotting and intimate first-person-present narration." (Publishers Weekly)

Cecily

Lovely voice and kept me totally captivated. Looking forward to hearing her on the sequel book.

LOVED IT

This is the first book I have read by Brigid Kemmerer. I was so pleasantly surprised on top of the characters being awesome the 3 narraters were amazing which here lately has been far in between. This is a must listen/read!

Surprisingly lovely!

I went into this a bit blind but it was a beautifully written romance, which I had not been expecting but was pleased to discover.

Brigid Kemmerer gets better with every book.

This marks the 6th book by her I’ve read. The Cursebreaker series I needed a push in the middle to get through. But overall, she writes amazing characters and conflicts from both sides that make you think. I always love the multiple POVs and vivid descriptions that are too distracting. If you liked this one and haven’t read her other stuff, HIGHLY recommend.

Spectacular!

This audiobook was spectacular. I wasn't crazy about the first three books, but oh am I glad I read them for this one. The writing is beautiful, and the characters were so amazingly well rounded. I listened to this in three days flat since I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. Can't wait for the next book!

welcome back to the Cursbringers!

you guys. This book is so good!

Tycho is my new favorite character and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

this is a stand alone book but I suggest you start with A Curse So Dark and Lonly.

Love this book!

The voice narrators are my favorite on audible! I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one.

Great performances by 3 narrators !

Cecily Schmidt is a great new voice on audible ! The Calyn character is a fierce big sister ! This is an intriguing new world that has fierce, strong women in military and leadership roles - and a casual acceptance of gay/queer lifestyles that is refreshing . I can’t wait to see where these characters go from here ! In the meantime I will go back and listen to the previous trilogy by B Kemmerer.

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS YOU NEED TO READ!!

I am a huge fan of Brigid Kemmerer. have read all of her books and this book is like gold. I kept telling myself one more chapter and I'm putting it down and doing what I have to do that never worked. so hard to put down love it but you might want to read the other three books to go with this series it helps a lot to understand what's going on but you don't have to. I love this book so much. I can't wait for the next one.

Stunning

Brigid Kemmerer does not disappoint with the continuing development of these brave characters. Filled with suspense, romance, intrigue and unique twists of plot, this book held me captive with delight.
