About this listen
'Funny, daring, and romantic, you’ll always have a good time with Kate Johnson' Sarah Rees Brennan, author of Long Live Evil
‘What’s so funny?’ she snapped.
He wanted to brush away that sweaty hair from her nape and kiss her there. His fingers remembered the heat and silk of her skin when he’d unfastened her dress. The scent of her, warm and rich, still lived in his mind. He wanted to lick the salt from her skin.
Remember you can’t have her. ‘Nothing,’ he said. ‘At all.’ He stood and extended his hand. ‘Your vessel awaits.’
–
In a world without magic, only the cunning survive…
In a realm where magic has vanished and a kingdom teeters on the brink, Ember Hart, a master thief with a hidden past, is thrust into a strange new world and a destiny she never sought. Anointed as ‘the Promised One’, she is bound by a twisted prophecy into an unholy union with the kingdom’s beastly prince. Rumours of his brutality haunt the palace halls.
But Ember is no sacrificial lamb.
Forming a precarious alliance with the dangerous Rhaell, Captain of the Guard, Ember seizes the chance to return home by helping to restore the kingdom’s lost magic. In this land of danger and desire, can she reclaim her freedom or, with every barb and bated breath, will her growing awareness of Rhaell risk everything she yearns for?

Story
Ancercy is the fatal disease spread to mankind when they sleep with daemons. While the south of an otherwise unremarkable kingdom becomes embroiled in an epidemic of this foul affliction, and those within seek the desperate cure, there are those without who are working to hasten the spread of ancercy. And with the mayor’s son starting to be turned away from parlour doors, even the queen has taken time from her daughter’s baptism to attend to the matter; a baptism through which the future of this very kingdom will be told in smoke and water.

To make matters worse, everyone has an agenda—even the man required by prophecy to protect her.

Story
Princess Aurelia only wants two things: freedom... and answers. She was there when her mother, the beloved Queen, was murdered. And yet, she has no memory of the event. In fact, she hardly has any solid memories of her mother at all. She was nine when it happened, and ten years later she still can't put the pieces together. Her father, who has since become imperious and overprotective, refuses to touch on the subject while forcing Aurelia to remain hidden – unable to leave the confines of her home.

Story
I was cursed. It wasn't an exaggeration. It wasn't even dramatics—though I was prone to those. It was a fact. And a sucky one at that. After inheriting my grandmother's home, I thought my luck had turned around. A fresh start in the one place where I'd found solace from my cruel father. But I was cursed, remember? So rather than a quiet life, I faced mysteries, con artists, disastrous dates, stoned witches, magicks, and evil organizations out to do evil things. And a house that was haunted.
