About this listen

From award-winning author E. J. Mellow comes the third and final installment in the Mousai series, following a young woman torn between the man she loves and the kingdom she calls home.

Within the world of Aadilor sits the hidden Thief Kingdom, a land overflowing with magic and mayhem. There the Mousai, a trio of deadly sorceresses, serve the reclusive Thief King, delivering punishment and pleasure to the masses.

Arabessa Bassette is the leader of the Mousai, conducting their powerful gifts with unyielding precision. But behind her mask of control burns a desire to forge her own path—along with a tumultuous relationship with Zimri D’Enieu, her father’s right hand and the man who’s held her heart since they were children. When an unexpected invitation to vie for the Thief King’s throne pulls her into a deadly competition, Arabessa’s composure cracks as she finds herself with an impossible choice—give up her greatest love or her greatest ambition.

But sacrifices loom large in the Thief Kingdom, for the quest for power always comes at a price. With her and Zimri’s future hanging in the balance, Arabessa must decide if she’s willing to pay it.

Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where love is found between cracks and the most mesmerizing symphonies carry lethal notes. Dare to play?

Bitter Sweet

I enjoyed all 3 of the books but I think this is my favorite. A great Love story and finding who you are and your place in the world. I can't wait for the next book.

Solid ending

A pretty solid ending to this trilogy. The plot was good, and it delivered if you're looking for a solid love/angst storyline. I felt like there was less action in this book compared to the other 2 in the series, so that was somewhat disappointing. I think it ended the way it needed to, and I'm glad she also included some details about the rest of the family.

perfect! ending to a beautiful trilogy

incredibly sad to see it end, but this is the most beautiful book I've read this year. I didn't think I could love this author's writing style anymore. from the beginning it was beautiful and heart-wrenching and you truly felt for her and by the end your satisfied with all of the sisters stories. it's so beautiful 💓

Unexpected!

I loved the Mousai trilogy, and this one excellently concludes the world! It’s not as fast pace, in my opinion, as the other two, but it’s still really good!

A wonderful conclusion to this series

Great job E.J. Mellow!
I really enjoyed each of these books. This one was yet another fun ride. The story played with your emotions, but in a good way. Things were good, then dark. The sun comes out just for the rug to be pulled out from under you again. I was caught up in the story completely, not wanting to wait for what happens next.

An interesting conclusion to a series

An interesting conclusion to a series that started out without much of a backstory. In this book we get the backstory though not all of it. We follow the three sisters in their adventures within the thief kingdom as they try to help each other, but can’t. Those darn secret keepers! As the sisters work through everything we learn more about their family and those around them. This includes some characters who were background characters in the previous books. I can’t say if the end was and wasn’t predictable for you’ll have to learn that part yourself. I will say never mess with someone’s heart if you value anything in any world.
