A fae rebel. A ruthless dragon commander.

And a deadly trial that will turn their lives upside down.

Trapped in the Seelie Court by a forest of thorns, Selena Hale lives at the mercy of the dragon shifters. Her only chance to gain her freedom is by entering the Atonement Trials: a deadly competition that pits fae magic users against each other. Only three people can win, and Selena intends to be one of them.

There is only one problem. Draven Ryat, the ruthless commander of the dragon shifter army, is determined to make her lose.

He symbolizes everything that she hates, and if he finds out that she is also a member of the secret fae rebellion, he will not only mess with her chances to win, he will kill her. But the more time she spends with him, the more she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him.

And nothing is more dangerous in a lethal trial than a distracted heart.

Especially one that beats for the enemy…

Yes it’s like every other romantasy but who cares? Isn’t that why we read them? Great story and great narration 👌🏼

Really enjoyed it

Amazing story and storytelling, narrator did an excellent job!

While the setting is very common in romantasy , there were a lot of elements that were unique to this story.

The pacing was excellent and did not drag on at all.

I found the plot twists to be very predictable, but honestly the story was still great regardless.

The MMC and FMC have wonderful chemistry and I loved their bond forming throughout the book.

Flawless narration of an excellent story

This book was great, and the narrator was spectacular! Even the mmc had a great voice. The story was good but it was to short. It could’ve gained so much more depth to the characters and the world given the time. But, overall, leaving me wanting more! 🤩

Great audio!

From start to finish I loved it, I loved thrill of it, the adventure, the guessing of what’s going to happen next.

What a journey

I really liked that although it was fantasy it wasn’t a really complex storyline to follow which some fantasy books can be but it was enough of interesting development and interesting characters that it still kept me intrigued. I really enjoyed it. I kind of predicted that whoever won the trials was probably gonna die or something bad would happen but that’s okay. That didn’t really ruin the storylinestoryline or the plot for me.
