About this listen

Ilona Andrews, number one New York Times best-selling author, continues her spellbinding series set in the Hidden Legacy world where magic controls everything - except the hearts of those who wield it...

As Prime magic users, Catalina Baylor and her sisters have extraordinary powers - powers their ruthless grandmother would love to control. Catalina can earn her family some protection working as deputy to the Warden of Texas, overseeing breaches of magic law in the state, but that has risks as well. When House Baylor is under attack and monsters haunt her every step, Catalina is forced to rely on handsome, dangerous Alessandro Sagredo, the Prime who crushed her heart.

The nightmare that Alessandro has fought since childhood has come roaring back to life, but now Catalina is under threat. Not even his lifelong quest for revenge will stop him from keeping her safe, even if every battle could be his last. Because Catalina won't rest until she stops the use of the illicit, power-granting serum that's tearing their world apart.

Another great story

I have read every book this couple has written and enjoyed every one of them. Great story and wonderful characters. They always pick great narrators for their audible books so they are great in any format

Improvement on Sapphire Flames

After how incredible the first 3 books in this series were Sapphire Flames was a let down, it had a much more Young Adult feel, in Emerald Blaze Catalina grows up a bit, Nevada and Connor are back and we finally learn the truth about Alessandro. I loved the Chinese American water prime and I’m hoping he will be Arabella’s love interest for the next story arc. Anyway Emerald Blaze is better and by the end of the story I feel a lot of the plot issues from Sapphire Flames were resolved. I love Catalina and Alessandro using their powers and the small side story of Bern and Runa. I will definitely check out the next installment.

Catalina and Alessandro have finally found their voices in the series.

Fantastic characters and story

Catalina has really come into her own and I adored this story. I wasn't sure Catalina would live up to how much I love Nevada but she did! So much action and intrigue along with a very satisfying romance. I want more of Catalina and Alessandro! They are both such great characters - witty, independent, tough, loyal and of course lots of fun to read about. There were a few things about Alessandro that I figured out before they were revealed and one that I didn't. These two characters had some great interactions and byplay that I thoroughly enjoyed. We also get to see plenty of the other family members (although Bern isn't in it as much). I loved Leon's scenes and I'm still not sure about Arabella but we get to see another side to her in the short stories online so I'm sure IA will make me fall in love with her as well.
I love this world - these characters and really you can't go wrong with a book in this series.

The narrator did a fantastic job on this one and really brought both the story and the characters to life. A lot of fun to listen to.

Good book. I liked it better than the first one.

I have read/listened to most of the books by the authors. I am a big fan on the Kate Daniels series.

More than I expected

Another amazing story in the Hidden Legacy series, I still get the sprinkles of Nevada and Rogan now with baby on board but now I am being drawn deep into the powerful woman Catalina is becoming. The chemistry between Alessandro and Catalina is intense because of their inner longings for each other. Glad the family, house Baylor is standing strong several years into being a house on their own without Nevada who is house rogan. Catalina develops into a bad azz in this book and changes my opinion of the first book she is not vulnerable and needing someone to take care of her. I can’t wait fir the third and final in this series.

Ready for the next one!

So good. Listened to the book far too much. Now it's ended and I'm sad because I loved this story so much.

Catalina Baylor vs.Borg Magical Construct

Each book spends some time reintroducing the world, the Baylor Family, and the extended cast of characters... but this is a huge cast with a lot of backstories. Plus, the Baylor Family & Co. are so fun, interesting, and mad-hatter that this book is most appreciated having first listened to the previous books in this series. Or at least start at book 3.5. Books 1-3 introduce a world populated by man-created magical humans and track Nevada Baylor as she ascends to the status of Prime magic user and leader of Baylor House. From book 3.5, we switch to second eldest sister Catalina Baylor as she grows from quiet teen afraid of her power to a Prime in her own right.

Whereas Nevada started already strong and confident, Catalina has been playing catch-up... until now. This book picks up months after the last one. Catalina has used that time to learn, train, and evolve into a deputy warden and generally kick-ass secret agent against world threatening magic crimes. I like her better with a spine. And lots of swords. I also better enjoyed her interactions with Alessandro, which finally moves past kisses (the author duo sure does love to drag romantic HEA side out thru several books).

As with previous books, there is a self-contained magical mystery procedural where our characters figure out who dunnit while clashing with magical people and magical beasties. This one introduces a magical swamp monster with mad-regeneration skills and a baddie with a Frankenstein fetish for combining animal, metal, and magic. I enjoyed the ride, although with the exception of Catalina, Alessandro and Leon, all the rest of the colorful series regulars get fairly short shrift.
