About this listen
Every girl in Ballamor dreams of being chosen by the fey.
For some, because the fey promise to deliver them to the beautiful faery realm. For Larken, because her closest friend was chosen the previous year.
She tries to accept her fate - until she discovers that her friend is in danger and the promise of eternal joy amongst the fey could be a lie.
Larken breaks the sacred covenant between humans and fey and enters the faery realm to find her friend. Her only ally is Finder, a faery prince of the Autumn Court who now owes her a debt after she unwittingly saves his life. Their bond is both the key to her survival . . . and possibly her downfall.
Underneath the glittering façade of the faery realm seethes a shadowy pact writ in blood, betrayal, and lust for power at any cost. A tithe must be paid by each of the Courts of Airodion. Both Finder and Larken's people face retribution if the tithe goes unpaid, and their bond could destroy the foundation of the courts - and the human world - forever.

Keera is shocked by what she learns and can’t help but wonder who her enemy truly is: the King that destroyed her people or the Shadow that threatens the peace.

Story
Decades ago, the High King of Sundolia waged a war that vanquished the Serpent clan and drove them out of the empire. But they did not leave peacefully. Their parting gift included curses that now rest within the empire's soil, growing more and more dormant as the years pass under the rule of that increasingly tyrannical high king. Until Alaya - a young woman with a hidden Serpent mark who shouldn't exist - accidentally wakes one of them up. Then another. She must seek the truth about her lost clan and the so-called curses they left behind. About her true home.

Story
Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Magic has been outlawed for almost a century, and anyone caught wielding it or bearing its mark is executed. Which is why I know every day could be my last. I'm marked for death. My skin bears the branding of the moon. I just thank the stars that it's not somewhere visible. For one night, I willingly put myself in danger, picking a stranger to lose myself in before I begin my life of servitude to the crown as a member of the King's Guard. But the man I thought was a stranger turns out to be the Blade of the King, Thorn, my new boss.

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

The ideas in this book are very clever and interesting but the execution wasn't my favorite. The second quarter of the book felt a bit lacking. The bonding between the characters on their journey definitely needed to happen but it was done boringly. Perhaps there wasn't enough conflict or the conflict was too minor to keep things interesting. It felt like there was a lot of telling instead of showing going on. Aside from that, the rest of the world-building was great. The descriptions were detailed and the different aspects of this world were clear to the reader. I felt that the twist at the end of the book was a little too obvious. I had suspected it from way too early in the story for it to feel gratifying. The foreshadowing felt a little too heavy-handed.
There were things about the characters that I liked and disliked. I loved the plus-size female main character representation. She disparaged herself a bit in her thoughts but she didn't let it stop her from being brave when she needed to be or from accomplishing the things that she set out to do. Larken was a bit tame for my liking. I like my female lead characters with a little more ferocity. Every time she saved someone's life or made a contribution it felt like it was by mere happenstance or accident that it even happened. I would have preferred if she had a more hands-on approach in these instances. You can take that opinion with a grain of salt because I know that not every female lead will have those kinds of strengths. I guess it's just my preference. The male fae characters were a little more mysterious. The reader learns a bit about them but I didn't even feel a strong connection to them. I enjoyed the dynamics between them and Larken even if something felt like it was missing.
There really wasn't any romance in this story at all. I was a little surprised by this. I expected at least a little something but nope. Larken and Finder grow close but not so close that anything romantic is even hinted at. If there is a romance to be had then it is an agonizing slow-burn situation. So slow that there isn't even really a hint of it by the end of the first book.
Overall, this is not a bad story by any means but I think that there could have been some changes made to the structure of the story to make it shine more. The ideas and creativity are spot on but the execution of the ideas could have used some work. This book did spark enough interest that I want to continue the series to see what happens to these characters. This review sounds like a lot of ranting but I did enjoy this story. Yes, there are things that I would have changed but the core of the story is worth reading.
Good ideas but not executed well.
