About this listen
There is nothing I will not give for revenge.
Sebastian has to die. There is nothing else that matters to me. But I’ve been hunting him for decades and have nothing to show for it beyond a broken soul. My body is failing. And the magic that I keep changed within my soul is close to breaking free.
I can’t seem to bring myself to care.
My friends, however, are unwilling to let me destroy myself in the name of revenge. I’ve been able to ignore their pleas to stop my mad pursuit until now. Pele offers me something I can’t resist. A real chance at finding Sebastian.
So I accept what should be a simple job. Escort a bunch of magic-barren people back to their home realm so they can find their lost magic. But this place isn’t the empty wasteland I was told it was.
Something still lurks there. Something monstrous… and hungry.
This is a prequel novella to the Lost Legacies series and takes place directly before the events of A Shift in Shadows.

Story
I was a fool in love once—until I learned he only wanted me for my power. I left him and found love with someone else. He retaliated by ripping out her heart. Every year my warlock ex-lover leaves me a bloody heart as a gift. A taunt and a reminder that I belong to him. But he’s forgotten that I’m the ruthless feline shifter that was hunting down my enemies long before we crossed paths. Sooner or later, it’ll be his heart I’m holding in my hand.

Story
Being bonded to Caden Blackburn used to be all I dreamed of. Those dreams were crushed the moment this pack branded my entire bloodline traitors for challenging his father. Life in Silver Falls isn't easy. As the only packmate unable to shift, I'm considered broken. No one wants a useless mate. Especially not Caden. Imperfections don't fit within the rigid way he rules our pack as alpha. I never thought he'd look at me with anything other than fury until our bond awakens.

Story
Following an accusation of being a necromancer with no way to prove her innocence, Detective Kirani Kinsley Ramons turns in her badge and flees to Dragon Heights, Wyoming for a fresh start. In Miami, few understand the difference between a necromancer and the descendant of dragons. In Dragon Heights, nobody cares. With weekly rains of unusual composition, dragon-kin and human alike vying for the right to become the next dragon in town, and magic lurking around every turn, there is no better place for Kinsley to hide her skills and history.

The Fae are gone and the monsters reign. Lunaria was always a land full of nightmares. But when the Fae vanished without a trace, we had to make sacrifices to survive. From the ashes, the Moroi Houses rose. As the Heir to one of the most influential Houses, I’ve always known that an arranged marriage would be part of my future. One where I ruled alongside my husband as we fought to strengthen the crumbling alliances of our people. When I’m betrayed by my husband and his House, however, I return home to an uncertain future—and to both my childhood crush and my arch-nemesis.

My whole life, I've been the outsider. The wolves of the Anterrio Pack took my brother and me into their pack after our parents died. To the pack, I remained the wild, untamed misfit despite my efforts to belong. My first heat loomed ahead of the Luna Ball, and once again, I found myself attracting unwelcome attention, not just from my pack but also from the visiting Blackridge Peak Pack. When my brother suspected their new alpha might hold answers about our past, he refused to put me at risk while he searched for the truth. Instead, he set me free from a pack that never truly accepted me.

He’s also the only one with the power to break this wretched curse and restore my kingdom. Unfortunately, Callan’s assistance comes at a price. If I want his help, I’ll have to belong to him.

My whole life, there was never a place I called my home. Because home wasn't a place to me; it was a person. Three people, to be exact. Everett, Griffin, and Zane. Three boys who always protected me against the harsh reality of our world. That is, until they aged out of the system before me. All the promises that were made were then broken. They left me behind and made a name for themselves as rock stars and never looked back. The next few years left me broken and closed off until it was my turn to leave. I had nothing and nowhere to go. That was until I found High Roller omegas.

Story
Clio isn't a thief. She isn't a spy, a soldier, or a diplomat. Aside from her rare ability to mimic spells, her only notable talent is gardening. But with a war threatening her homeland, and her half-brother—the nymph prince—pleading for her help, she agrees to attempt the impossible: stealing deadly magic from the best spell weavers in the three realms. Their stronghold is located deep in the Underworld, which is exactly the sort of place an Overworld nymph like her should never go. Getting in won't be that hard. Getting out alive is the impossible part.

My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me. Except for Lyla James Marichal. She didn't look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain. Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away. She was completely unattainable, and I became obsessed with her. When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side.

I Liked It
This story kept me engaged from beginning to end, I liked it and thought the story flowed well. The world-building is well-done and interesting, the characters are well-drawn.
I read the ebook when it was first released and enjoyed it but listening to this audio version lifted this enjoyable story. The narration was performed by Krys Janae someone I haven't listened to before but will definitely look out for now
I will definitely read or listen to the next book in the Lost Legacies series.

Good Backstory!
I am usually not a fan of the of the prequel books and others the authors like to throw in after a series spec when it could of just been added to a book in the series. I did enjoy this book though. It gave a really good backstory! The way the author creates the story is amazing. The narration is amazing as well. Krys Janae does a great job with all the characters. This is a really good series!
