About this listen

A Tribute of Fire is a must-read…” —Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times and international bestselling author.

The fate of a cursed nation depends on a princess who must outwit a mortal enemy and outlast the trials of a death-defying ritual in a thrilling adventure by USA Today bestselling author Sariah Wilson.

Lia is the princess of Locris, a dying desert nation cursed centuries ago by an earth goddess—one still worshipped by the thriving and adversarial nation of Ilion. Every year, Ilion offers the goddess a sacrifice: two Locrian maidens forced to compete in a life-and-death race to reach her temple. In a millennium, no maiden has made it out of Ilion alive. This year, Lia is one of the hunted.

An education in battle gives her a fighting chance, but the challenges are greater than she feared: Lia’s beloved but untrained sister Quynh has been put in the path of danger. The winding streets of Ilion itself have been transformed into a labyrinthine maze of countless choices and dead ends. And if the risks weren’t significant enough, Lia is reluctantly drawn to the commandingly attractive Jason, an Ilionian sailor she loathes to trust and desires like no man before.

The tribute game is on. It’s up to Lia to lift the goddess’s curse, restore Locris to its former glory, and change the fate of every young woman destined to follow in her path.

Critic reviews

“Greek mythology, a strong heroine, found family, enemies to lovers. What more could you want? How about captivating world-building, mystery, action, romantic tension for days, and a cliffhanger that leaves you gasping for more! A Tribute of Fire is a must-read book of 2024.”—Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times and international bestselling author

“Sariah Wilson is in her element with this book! The intricate plot and sizzling romance grips you from the beginning and will not let you go. This is a must-read for romantasy lovers, and easily her most addictive book yet.”—Charlie N. Holmberg, Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author of fantasy and romance fiction, including The Paper Magician series, the Spellbreaker series, and the Whimbrel House series

“Sariah Wilson isn’t just a master of the romance genre—with A Tribute of Fire, she proves herself a skilled writer of romantasy, too. I inhaled this story—rooted in Greek mythology but all new in its cocktail of stunning twists, fierce characters, sisterhood, magic, and enough heat to torch a small country. Don’t mind me, I’ll be here impatiently waiting for the next book in the series.”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Editorial Review

High stakes—higher heat
A Tribute of Fire is romance author Sariah Wilson’s debut into romantasy, and I seriously hope it’s not her last. Every year, Ilion sends two maidens to compete in a life-or-death ritual, with no maiden ever making it out alive. In an attempt to protect her kingdom, Princess Lia arranges to be selected for the race. When she and her untrained sister, Quynh, are forced into the deadly race, Lia insists that they will both survive. She must navigate a maze-like city while protecting her sister and resisting her undeniable attraction to Jason, a dangerously handsome enemy sailor. The slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, sizzling chemistry between Lia and Jason, nonstop action, and found-family dynamics combined with Therese Plummer’s narration—and that cliffhanger (which I am still recovering from)—made A Tribute of Fire an incredible start to a series that I look forward to continuing. — Patty R., Audible Editor

Delightful story-telling and Outstanding adventure

Loved this book! I have followed and listened to many of this author’s books and this one is the best! Loved the strong main character and her development. Enjoyed the love story between her and “Jason”. Cannot wait for the next book. The narrator is very talented and expressive.

Loved all of it!!

A Tribute of Fire by Sariah Wilson is book one in The Eye of the Goddess series and it was so good!! I have quickly become a big fan of all of her writing. If you like forbidden love, hidden identities, strong FMC, closed door, secrets/betrayals, action packed, romantasy then you will love this book!!

Wilson did an amazing job with her first fantasy book. I did not want to put this book down. This story came in at around 500 pages but it was full of drama, battles, twists and turns, secrets and betrayals. The world building was done so well, it had magic and was influenced by Greek mythology. The characters were written and developed so well. Lia has been training to participate as tribute in Ilion. She must find the eye of the goddess to break the curse that’s been placed on her country. The game changes when her adoptive sister is chosen to escort her on this mission. Now she must not only save her country but also try to keep her sister alive. Along the way she meets Jason, the Ilion sailor she cannot stop thinking about and finds herself drawn to even when she is asleep. This is definitely a must read…I promise you will be as captivated by this book like I was but just know you will be left on a cliffhanger, wanting more!! Thank you to NetGalley, Montlake, and Sariah Wilson for letting me read this book in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions.

Good story and great narration!

This story made me want to refamilarize myself with Greek mythology.
This production was 5 stars, the book I give 4 stars. It wasn't amazing, but good enough that I'm excited for the next book!

Plot

This is one of the best books I have read in a while. The story definitely was a journey a little bit repetitive that completely incredible story telling.

Fantastic Romantasy!

Sariah Wilson writes such wonderful romcoms, so I was intrigued and not sure what to expect when I found out she was writing a romantasy series.

All I can say is, WOW! I am so glad she is venturing into this genre because she knocked it out of the park. This book was amazing—as in I couldn’t put it down, and I may be slightly obsessed with it! Absolutely loved it!

From the opening chapter I was hooked. It’s exciting, engaging, and creative storytelling. The world building was so well done, the character development is excellent, and the plot and pacing are fantastic. It’s just a really fun and entertaining read.

I loved the fated mates/forbidden romance aspect of the story. There’s nothing too graphic about it, but it’s more than what her romcoms have contained. The chemistry and sizzle between the MCs was palpable and had me swooning! I can’t wait to see where this relationship goes in the next book.

There are some pretty intense scenes that had me on the edge of my seat, and there’s a couple of jaw-dropping twists at the very end that I didn’t see coming. It’s definitely got a cliffhanger ending, and I seriously cannot wait for book 2.

Narration— I thought the narrator was outstanding! She brought the story to life and did a great job with the various characters,

Tedious and Juvenile

Disappointing! I actually pre ordered A Tribute of Fire based on Goodreads reviews. #regrets
The book had a promising premise, but it read like a draft with plot holes large enough to fit a semi. Like, both daughters of the royal family are Selected, but our undercover male lead has no idea? Eye roll. The "plot twists" weren't very twisty either.
Lots of Insta Romance, Insta Friendships, super mean girls, and other juvenile tropes. I did some serious fast forwarding through the last 4 hours of the book.
The narrator's performance was solid, but her voice was far too mature for the teenage lead character.
I will not continue on to book two.

Awful

The narrator sounds like a drone. A very young drone. This audio is awful. The story is not good. Young princess going to fight for her and her sister’s life against a tirade of men. Yeah like that would happen. Nothing remotely realistic.
