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…

I really enjoyed this book! Nice twist at the end and it must be a blessing for Selena that she got a kind of relationship with Draven.
The narration was fantastic as always (one of my favourite narrators!)
Anyway looking forward to reading next book.

I loved this book it was intense interesting and super sexy. My 1 issue is at the start of every chapter the recorded voice seemed odd like it the mic wasn’t great it cleared up quickly but still.

Really well written

Great first book in the new series, full of drama and action which I loved. I enjoyed the character development of the FMC/MMC and their relationship- not sure how it’ll go in book 2! There’s a slowish burn and good banter, I’m hoping more will come from the side characters as they had potential. All the classics of grumpy MMC, trials and magic with a bit of spice.
The narrator is one of my favourites so I knew that side of things would be perfect!

Loved the story and great narration!
