About this listen

Over 100 years ago, Aethion was thrown in the middle of what would forever be known as The Great War. Kingdoms were torn apart, countless innocent lives lost because of the greed and lust for power of one man—Lachlan Roarke. His band of misfits called themselves The Horde. Which was fitting, seeing as they tended to overrun and eradicate everything in their path.

He’s the reason I lost my mother. The reason I can’t sleep at night without constant nightmares plaguing my mind. Every time I close my eyes, all I can see is her. Everything I am today is because of her and the night I was forced to stand by and watch as she was murdered.

Now, as the time draws near when I must fulfill my destiny as queen of Helia, we find ourselves on the brink of war once again. The Horde is back, although with someone unknown at their helm as leader.

The time for revenge is now, and I know it’ll be the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted. It’s my duty to save my kingdom. Not only do I owe it to my people, whom I love and swore to protect, but also to make good on the promise I made myself the night I saw the light fade from my mother’s eyes.

I will destroy all those who seek to destroy me. I only hope it won’t be the last thing I do.

Author Note: This book contains explicit content and darker elements, including mature language, violence, and sexual content. It is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age.

Terrific Story!

Eva, a powerful fae princess, is plagued with nightmares of the Horde attacking and destroying her family. Now it looks like they are back!
Excellent storyline that had me on the edge of my seat several times! I also can't recall an author ever... EVER getting me to like a character so much and then utterly hate them by the end. The betrayal was gut-wrenching, lol
Terrific audio narration. Can't wait to continue this series!

Adult Fantasy Romance 📖

Of Darkness and Fire is Amber Palmer’s debut novel and the first book in her adult fantasy romance series. I loved it! This story has fated mates, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, spice, amazing characters, and just the right amount of angst. The author gives us a strong, confident heroine, blessed with elemental magic, who is poised to rule the Kingdom of Helia.

The romance that developed was addicting and I craved more and more with each page. There is a tenderness between the two main characters that warmed my heart while also delivering some delicious spice. I thoroughly enjoyed Of Darkness and Fire and have continued on with this series. I recommend this story to lovers of fantasy, romance, and of course, romantasy!

I recently completed a re-read of this on audio and loved the characters and story just as much!

Should have way more than 8 ratings!

Can’t remember if this book was recommended by Audible or if I saw the title on Instagram but it deserves way more hype than it has. It only had a few ratings but they all seem to be rave reviews and mine is no different.
This is the author’s debut novel and there were a few instances of odd phrasing and a couple of storyline development flaws (ie. a character brought into the story who then just disappears and is never mentioned again when it feels odd they wouldn’t be?) but even with these little things, Palmer did a wonderful job developing relatable dynamic characters and a plot that never lagged. I was extremely invested and don’t want to put the book down. Crossing my fingers that the 2nd and 3rd books in the trilogy get recorded to audio as well since it’s the only reading format I manage with my busy schedule!
Definitely worth the credit for any romantasy lovers like myself!

A Wild Ride, don't miss it!

This story is fantastic. It ends with a cliffhanger that makes me want to pick up the next book immediately. There's so many twists and turns and I just want to hear Eva give her enemies the comeuppance they deserve. The story has a love triangle and what might be technically cheating, if sharing one kiss constitutes cheating in your book, but the way their relationships are written, it really isn't. The narrator does a wonderful job voicing Eva in a manner that makes her both strong and vulnerable. She also does the male voices well. This is not the first series I've listened to by this narrator and it definitely won't be the last.
