Blindsided by their aunt’s betrayal and stripped of the protections of their station, Lyr and her sisters’ only hope of survival is to throw themselves into the dark intrigue of the Bamarian Court. As Meera and Morgana struggle to hide their illegal magic while living amongst their enemies, Lyr uncovers long-buried secrets from her mother that may finally unlock her power.

But the Imperators are determined to set decades-long plans into motion, with Lyr’s true identity placing her at the center of their game.

As Morgana’s magic intensifies to its breaking point, she comes face to face with the Lumerian Empire’s most insidious secret—one that threatens her and Meera’s lives.

To save her sisters, Lyr must escape Bamaria with Rhyan. Though they’re being hunted by demons and tracked across borders by the Empire’s forces, they’re determined to solve the puzzle Lyr’s mother left behind. But claiming Lyr’s power may not be enough as an ancient evil returns to Lumeria.

Some series start to lose steam after the first or second book. I’d wondered if this 3rd installment would be wrapping up a trilogy but we’re just getting into it. And yet it never drags. The plot moves consistently with a mix of action, steaminess, and plot twists. I’ll admit that I saw the plot twist in this one coming, but when it was finally revealed, it was still a powerful mix of heartbreaking and gratifying.

Looking forward to book 4!

I love this series and this book brought it to a whole new level of awesome. The twists and turns, the characters, the world building. It’s all soooo good. Frankie Diane Mallis is a genius and Stephanie Kay’s narration will live in my brain rent free forever. *Chef’s kiss*!

It’s been about a year and a half since I last picked up this universe. The plot twist surprise definitely hit hard again, which I loved.

This narrator does an amazing job voicing the different characters. I think I might like her voice for the MMC better than the narrator who does his voice for the other books haha. Cannot wait for the next release in two days!

Love This Narrator

Where is the plot? This is just trope after trope piled on overly dramatic dialogue with a weak FNC.

DNF

Truly atrocious series from start to finish. This is the weakest book by far and also the longest.

Easily the worst series I’ve read this year.
