About this listen
In the lands of Deyadrum, where every Fae possesses power, Princess Emma is the only one forced without. Confined in the walls of her palace by her father, she's desperate for a taste of freedom.
That is, until she discovers the truth: everything she thought she knew was a lie, for something evil plagues her lands-promising death and darkness.
A betrothal that tests her. A mysterious vigilante who teases her. A Dark Prince who doesn't trust her. And a phantom that invades her dreams.
Emma must try to escape her father's torturous grip as she journeys to find a way to save her people . . . and herself.
But Emma has dark secrets of her own. And a game she has to play.
Can she overcome her grief and fears to save her people before the darkness that lurks within consumes her? Just remember, even that which appears true may be deceiving.
Contains mature themes.

Marion enjoys her quiet life of solitude in the shadowy woods of the Black Veil, where even the local villagers don’t dare venture. She sells her healing potions at the village market by day and tends to her otherworldly garden by night, caring for her magical bees and furry familiar, Peek, at their cottage. Then, one moonlit night, she encounters a devilishly handsome male—with powerful wings, sharp fangs, and high fae-like beauty—shot through with a lethal poisoned arrow.

Fae games will change you . . . but their love will ruin you. At least, that's what my mother told me. My mother had three rules: 1. Never make a bargain with a fairy. 2. Never enter the Waywoods on a hunting day. 3. Never give the High Fae princes a reason to notice you. But even when I followed all the rules, the royal fae still took my family from me. So in one night I broke all three rules, and brought the kingdom to their knees.

On the other side of the lines, Commander Jace Cadoria gladly fights the war of his ancestors to slaughter the fae who have terrorized the humans of their realm for generations.

Looking for a new fantasy romance series that combines the "snarky mortal woman navigates a world hostile to her species" vibes of The Serpent and the Wings of Night with the "questioning my chastity vow in the face of this hot new mysterious male in my life" energy of From Blood and Ash plus the "we're conducting an investigation together but are struggling to keep our hands off each other" tension of Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood? The Memory Puller just might be your next obsession.

😍 I'M IN LOVE
Glad I listened to this because it is all around CHEF'S KISS. 🤌🏻😍 The FMC wasn't a whiny bum, but someone who got stuff DONE. Do not mess with her! Also the MMC is a heartthrob and my new book bf. All the characters supported the story well and I'm just as in love with them, as I am with the mains. Just the right amount of steam for me, too. Cannot wait for the next book!

Amazing book, mediocre editing/narration
Ok, let me start by saying I listen to a LOT of audiobooks. I LOVE this series. The books themselves are amazing. This narration left a lot to be desired. This is the second book I’ve listened to with Tor and, admittedly, I really dislike his style of narration. I was hoping it was a one-off, but disappointingly, it wasn’t. His sentence cadences are all the exact same but it’s really choppy and awkward to listen to, almost an unnatural way of reading. Stella’s narration is fine, but the editing on the audio is awful. Some sentences end with long pauses before the start of the next, and there is at LEAST one very audible swallow in the recording of one of Stella’s chapters. Ali’s books are incredible, so this is a really disappointing purchase for me.

Narrators Not complimentary
Still in the middle of the book but the male narrator throws everything off. There is no personality....its like he is just reading not living the part. Its giving Virtual Voice as opposed to a living feeling being. Its irritating.
