About this listen

When Sole awakens from the darkness, a terrifying plague that killed her family, she is left with the one thing she never wanted: Magick. She soon discovers that this rare power, thought to be long lost, has the ability to save her world. The tyrant King of Sundom summons her to serve his own purpose, setting her on an incredibly perilous journey. Sole soon finds herself navigating a dark web of politics, alluring power, desire, and great evil.

Rivian Alacor had his life all planned out. As the high-born second prince of Sundom, he could never be heir to the throne. Instead, he would lead the Sundom Guards, and when his brother became King, he would be part of his high council. Rivian would secure alliances by being mated to Selah Grado, the fairest and fiercest woman in Sundom. But when his cruel father becomes infected with the Darkness, Rivian is sent on a journey to retrieve the first mage in generations. Meeting Sole changed everything.

Will they be the future of Transea, or will they burn it all down?

In the beginning, I wasn't so sure about this book. I picked it up because of tiktok, and the fan art is just amazing. It was a bit slow and too descriptive at first, but soon, the story became really interesting, and I couldn't put it down.
Here, we follow a second daughter who becomes queen after tragedy strikes the kingdom. She embarks on an adventure to heal a foreign king as is her duty as a healer. But things don't go quite according to plan, and she has to deal with betrayal and more loss before embracing her destiny. It ends on a cliffhanger, and the epilogue is more of a teaser and doesn't make much sense, considering it takes place so far ahead. I'm interested to see how the next book comes along.
Re-read and listen to the audio, too. The audio was well narrated, but a male narrator would have made it even better.
