About this listen
In a world in which Prophets wield the power of wayward gods, a banished woman is determined to regain her own powers and free her people.
When Max learned her world and its advanced race posing as gods were not all they seemed, her powers were sealed off by an unbreakable curse. Banished from the Mountain of the Gods, she devotes her life to protecting the village that adopted her as their own—until the Prophet of the Valley captures her and her people, intent on using them as a blood sacrifice.
Max vows to escape and return to the mountain to reclaim a power she hates in order to save the people she loves. But she'll need the help of one of the Prophet's fiercest warriors, Nash the Unknown, who has his own reasons for joining her, and she isn't sure she can trust him.
The journey will be a grueling one, made even more dangerous by the draw Max feels to the charming Nash. Together, the pair must climb the Mountain of the Gods and steal back Max's powers. Only, the mysteries of the mountain reveal ever more about the gods' cruel intentions and the reality-breaking secrets of her world, leading her to a harrowing discovery.
Come what may, Max will destroy the Prophet and reach beyond her world to rescue her home from the ruthless gods—in this life and every other.
The first volume of the hit progression fantasy series—with more than 170,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

What happens when a normal man is reborn as the dark heartthrob of a fantastical kingdom in a magical world—the Vampire Lord—and forced into survival when his real intentions are misunderstood by the people there, who perceive him to be an evil monster intent on destroying them all? Reborn in another world as a horrific incarnation of the night, things actually seem to be looking up for the newly reincarnated Vampire Lord Inkume, until he discovers that all of his newfound dark magical powers are actually rather unimpressive—barring one: his unnaturally beautiful vampiric outer appearance!

Story
At fifteen, I was a killer—a weapon forged by a deceiving madman's twisted desires. A little bird in a gilded cage, my soul destroyed and remade in his image. I wielded a power no mortal creature should ever control, one I vowed never to use again. Seven years later, I thought I'd escaped that life. I never expected my past to find me, let alone in the form of the three fae warriors who used to invade my every thought. Dane, Grey, and Kallum—oblivious to my true identity these past few years—now see me for what I am.

Story
When bookish Penny Collins reluctantly lets her sister drag her to an estate sale at a neighbor’s house, she’s hoping for a little diversion rummaging through dusty antiques. Instead, she ends up in a public squabble over candlesticks with the deceased owner’s nephew, Anthony—right before a dead body tumbles out of a closet.
By: Holly James
I really liked how the protagonist of Max was crafted. She felt so real in a way that not a lot of romantasy leads are. And I loved her relationship with Nash--super slow burn and fun, really dynamic. And their relationship isn't the whole focus, the world is beautifully painted and rich and there are some great scifi twists. I don't want to reveal too much!! She legit made me cry at one point. Was so swept up in it.
Anyhow, definitely recommend this one. It's fire!!
LOVED THISSSSS

Pretty good for a debut author.

The best way I can describe this is like a Romantasy mixed with The Matrix? It was such a fun ride! Sci-fi isn’t my normal genre, but having this mixed with Romantasy was really unique.
I wanted to see more of Max and Nash! But the relationship was still full of witty banter and more realistic conversations than in other books. With this being closed door, there is even more pressure for the connection to stand on its own for the reader, and this delivered for me.
And while I did guess at one of the twists, the way French played it out was entirely different than what I anticipated, so it kept the story fresh and kept me interested!
Only thing that pulled me out of the story was how stubborn Max was in her plans. She had so many people offering other views that she ultimately would just disregard in the end and do her own thing.
Tess was amazing!
