Burn brightly. Love fiercely. For all else is dust.

Every child of Glasnith learns the last words of Aillira, the god-gifted mortal whose doomed love affair sparked a war of gods and men, and Lira of clan Stone knows the story better than most. As a descendant of Aillira and god-gifted in her own right, she has the power to read people's souls, to see someone's true essence with only a touch of her hand.

When a golden-haired warrior washes up on the shores of her homeland - one of the fearful marauders from the land of the Frozen Sun - Lira helps the wounded man instead of turning him in. After reading his soul, she realizes Reyker is different than his brethren who attack the coasts of Glasnith. He confides in her that he's been cursed with what his people call battle-madness, forced to fight for the warlord known as the Dragon, a powerful tyrant determined to reignite the ancient war that Aillira started.

As Lira and Reyker form a bond forbidden by both their clans, the wrath of the Dragon falls upon them and all of Glasnith, and Lira finds herself facing the same tragic fate as her ancestor. The battle for Lira's life, for Reyker's soul, and for their peoples' freedom has only just begun....

This was a great story imo. The love story well developed by there was much strife and tribulation throughout the whole book. I will definitely listen to the next book as well!

I really enjoyed this story and narration!

A great read, I managed to burn through it pretty quick on my commute. The voice acting is a little hard to get behind sometimes but it was really enjoyable. Outstanding piece of work Jill-o.

Super solid and compelling book.

I genuinely loved the story but i felt it was rushed to be told and because of that a lot of characterization is lost. It's a beautiful world but I wish we learned more detail to really fall in love with the characters.

I enjoyed this story, and will be seeking out the next in line. The male narrator I found to be a bit jarring. He read so fast and with so much urgency... It seemed unnatural compared to the female narrator. I had hoped that the male narrator would have done the male voices, but they each did the other characters voices for their own parts... The male narrators depiction of female voices was corny.

Narration is a little weird, but good story

I was in a bit of a listening rut. In some ways it feels like if you've heard or read one fantasy/adventure story, you've heard or read them all. This story was really enjoyable. In many ways it was typical of the genre, but the characters were great and I cared about them quite early on. I can't wait to start the next in this series.

This ended my listening rut, I LOVED it!

I listen to tons of books and this is my first review because I just had to say how good it was! I was really unsure about whether I’d like this book or not in the beginning but it was so good the entire time and kept my in the edge of my seat

Sooooo good

I feel in love with this book so quickly. Will definitely recommend this book to others. I am really looking forward to other titles from this author!

Don't pass this one up!

War, Woe, Despair, Agony, Brutality, Violence. The stuff nightmares are made of is strung together to create this story. There is romance, but it takes a backseat to the deep darkness. It’s like the author was purging demons from her soul by spilling them onto the pages. I’m here for it all and that’s really saying something because I’m someone who normally abandons at the first hint of despair.

The narrators are what held me. The female enchanted and entranced me. I could listen to her beautiful voice all day every day. She is a jewel and I hope to discover more of her work. I also enjoyed the male reader. I found his voice soothing and commanding and well suited to his part.

The fact this was included in my membership was the biggest gift of all. I enjoyed every splendidly painful minute.

Sophisticated But Torturous

I loved every bit of this book - the narrator, the characters and the twist and turns! I love books that make you gasp, teary and happy all at once...this book was that!

Absolutely in love!

I don’t plan to listen to the sequels. I don’t care enough about the world and the characters to spend more time, but I don’t regret the time I spent.

Decent listen
