Publisher's summary

Perfect for fans of Secondborn, The Hunger Games, and Maze Runner, this dark dystopian tale of survival, intrigue, and slow-burn romance will grip you until the very last minute.

My name is Maia Graystone: prisoner, rebel, and reluctant savior of a dying world.

In exactly 552 hours, an asteroid will end life as we know it. Not that my life is anything to brag about. Trapped inside a hellish prison, my days consist of surviving the other inmates and the bounty on my head.

Then a mysterious benefactor offers the impossible: a chance to compete in the Shadow Trials and win a coveted spot on the space station above our dying world.

But the opportunity comes at a steep price. Partner with a dashing psychopath, enter the court that once condemned me to death, survive the ruthless trials created by my own mother, and kill the emperor - the very man who's hunting me.

In this cunning game of life and death, nothing is as it seems and everyone expects me to fail. But they forgot one tiny detail.

Never underestimate the girl with nothing left to lose.

Dare to enter the gritty world of Shadow Fall, where tyrants rule, misfits reign, and antiheroes are tasked with saving the world. If you like enemies-to-lovers romance, high-octane action, and epic themes of good versus evil, you'll binge this roller coaster of emotions late into the night!

book 2 😶

great story once it gets going and seems really interesting unfortunately i have one complaint I can get book 3 on here but not 2 its really upsetting.

Good start to the series!

The book started off a little on the slow side but really started to grab my attention about half way through. I was not a huge fan of the narrator. I felt she rushed it or maybe it was just her voice. I can’t wait to see what’s next in the series

Amazing!!!!!!!

I love entering the world of Audrey Grey!!! The story lines are well thought out and entertaining. This is the first book in the series and it does end on a sorta cliffhanger.

The story is pretty dark but it is YA. The world is going to end and most of the populate will die in a matter of weeks. The Emperor has taken a select few and matched them genetically with each other and those people were to be the survivors.

Maia has been sentenced to a life in an essential prison due to something her family did. She gets a second chance at life if she works with the Rebel army to assassinate the Emperor. She agrees and she works with Riser (love interest #1). They get "new" bodies and have to infiltrate the trials. While in the new body (Evelyn) she meets the prince who was her perfect match before she was imprisoned (love interest #2).

So may twists and turns in the story. The characters are amazing. The story is amazing. I can't express how much I love this story!!!!

The narrator does an excellent job bring everything to life. #Audio Box Review

The best dystopian series ever!

I loved this book- which really surprised me to be honest, because I usually am not kept interested by most books of the Dystopian genre. Maia Greystone, and Riser together assume new identities to try and take down the Emperor. The narrator does a great job individualizing each character and I was enthralled to the last word. I immediately downloaded the entire series and finished it in days. I recommend this book to anyone- even if you think Dystopian isn’t your thing!!

Interesting idea

This is an honest review in exchange for a free copy of this book.
I really liked the idea behind the story line but somewhere in the middle it lost it's spark for me.
I enjoy fiction and fantasy and can say I have never read anything like it.
The beginning and end where both interesting but the middle was complicated for me.

Fantastic!!!! 😍

This story was fantastic! Listening to it was perfect! I loved the characters and the plot! The world building was fantastic! I can’t wait to listen to the next one!

I was hooked!

Very well written. Great characters, amazing storyline, perfect world. I was hooked from the beginning!

Narration was brilliant!

Good book that keeps you interested

I enjoyed the writing and the story was good. I like that I couldn’t predict what was happening next.

Shadow rise audiobook?

Does anyone know why there is no audiobook for shadow rise? There are audiobooks for this one and the third book but nothing for the second.

Lots of action

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Watching Maya's transformation of self and inner monologue was heart wrenching. I enjoyed the fact the the book was fast moving and kept my interest. The only thing I didn't like was the cliffhanger ending. I now have to get the next book to find out what happens next.
