Publisher Description
Surrounded by enemies, I've never been further from my crown… Or closer to death. Amidst a betrayal we couldn't have anticipated, I'll do whatever it takes to find my way back to Lorian—before his fury lays waste to this continent. Alliances are being forged and broken, our enemies are unifying, and Regner’s spiders are closer than ever before. We have only one chance to prevent him from attaining god-like powers and enslaving every human, fae, and hybrid across the four kingdoms. Meanwhile, the human king believes I’m trapped here, yearning for my death, and waiting for Lorian to save me. But Regner hasn’t yet realized that I'll stop at nothing to free my people. And he's the one who should be afraid of me.

Wow!! AMAZING!
Wow! That ending was freaking amazing ! The story development was captivating. can’t wait to start volume 4.
Unputdownable!
Well, let me just say it right off the bat…STACIA STARK HAS DONE IT AGAIN! Another page turning, jaw clenching, face blushing masterpiece! This book had everything I was hoping for. Plot progression while taking the time to flesh out what was needed, furthering of romances/tensions while learning more about the world and its magical systems. I laughed, I cried, I screamed, I swooned. It took me for the wild ride of emotions I hope to feel whenever I pick up a fantasy book. It had me gripped in its hands right up until I screamed out loud NO THIS CANT BE THE END when I finished it in true Stacia Stark plot twisting cliffhanger tradition. I’m immediately wishing I had the hourglass to leap forward to the next book! I have absolutely nothing but unfettered bookish joy after finishing this wild ride of a book, and my only regret is that I don’t know when the next book will come out.
This series is unputdownable, (I’ve read every book in a day or less because I can’t stop) and is what every Romantasy fan is looking for. If you long for enemies to lovers, morally grey characters, found family, FAE, magical creatures, and a magical world at war for its survival, this is the series you want. Its complex magic system is by no means heavy handed, and you’re not bogged down with info dumps, but you also gain a very clear progressing understanding of the world building throughout the series. It’s a rich and full world thats given the time to unveil. There’s multiple POV while never being heavy handed or confusing, and you fall in love with side characters with ease. It will steal your heart, break it and repair it better than it was before. You’ll find yourself never wanting to let it end! This series has not let me down once, and I will never stop recommending it because everyone I’ve gotten to read it has come away with my exact same sentiments, where was this series all my life?!
Narration:
I have seriously hyped myself up for this, I mean it when I say I stalked NetGalley 3 times a day for the last two months to see when this audiobook would pop up and I am so happy to say we get the same fantastic narrators as before and they’ve got these characters down solidly. Easily distinguishable voices, familiar and engaging, it was everything and more than I had hoped! I will listen to this again and again. I’m so grateful to Dreamscape for letting me continue to ARC read this series that I love so dearly!
