About this listen
When powers are earned and not born, who shall wield them?
Lysta lives in constant fear of Trialing, a deadly test that bestows an ability upon its victors, but only after pushing their mental and physical limits. Forced to Trial against her will, Lysta becomes a weapon others plan to use against the Untrialed until an unexpected intruder from another Court presents her with an opportunity to stop it. But can she trust the plans of a man who seems to play the lines between enemy and ally?
Only through treason can Lysta save the people she once struggled beside. With the fate of her Court and the lives of the Untrialed at stake, the burden will fall on Lysta to convince the other Courts to intervene. Not to mention, the Crowns seem to fear the frustrating albeit handsome man who rescued her more than the one she testifies against. Lysta must find her strength in a world of powers, battles, and court politics while navigating tumultuous relationships and hidden enemies.
Will Lysta save her Court or be ended by it?
Red Queen meets The Hunger Games and Divergent in this young adult romantic fantasy. The first book in the series, War Hour, is fast-paced, action-packed, and filled to the brim with twists and betrayals. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and Powerless.

Story
The mythical Vase of Venus Aurelia hasn’t been seen since 1932, but Margot Rhodes is determined to change that. Drawn by the vase’s supposed magical properties, Margot embarks on her school’s archaeological trip to Pompeii. Sure, it’s her first time holding a shovel, but she’s got something no one else does: lost teenage explorer Van Keane’s journal. Poring over the poetic entries that serve as a map to the vase’s missing shards, Margot finds herself falling in love with the boy who wrote it a century ago.

The shadow magic has always whispered to Wren. The same dark power that once ravaged her home kingdom of Asteroth. So she must keep her magic hidden, only using it to help people in need in the remote border village she calls home. Discovery of her gifts would mean death. Noble knight Finn has sworn to serve his new home, Asteroth, by hunting down those who use shadow magic. He has never forgiven his father, ruler of enemy kingdom Ilanthus, for his terrible cruelty.

Story
Merrick Darling’s life as daughter of the Manor Lord of Sussex is better than most. Unlike the commoners, she is immune to the toxic fog that encroached on England generations earlier. She will never become a Phantom—one of the monstrous creatures that stalk her province’s borders—and as long as the fires burn to hold them back, her safety is ensured. She wants for nothing, yet she will never inherit her family’s Manor. She must marry smartly or live at the kindness of her elder sister, Essie. Everything is turned on its head, though, when Merrick’s father dies suddenly.

Pearson, in this swoon-worthy prequel, a romance for the ages, and a magic that stirs the heart.

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well...by all but one.

Story
I spent five years saving up for a European vacation. But instead of drinking champagne on the beach, I get swept into a war of espionage between the humans and the fey. It turns out, I have a magic power needed to fight an evil fey king. I'm quickly whisked off to an elite spy academy in a hidden realm. There, in the ancient and gothic halls of Avalon Tower, snobbery and brutal competitions are among the oldest traditions.

I’m just a girl. And it turns out, I’m Hercules. I’m struggling to survive in a Titan infested world where Spartans, immortals from twelve royal families who have god-like powers and obscene wealth, rule over all. A shy-stammering foster child with nothing, I keep my head down, cover my scars, and focus on excelling in school. At least, I try to. Then it happens.

Loved this read!
I really enjoyed War Hour. There were a couple times I could predict what was coming, but that didn’t take away from the overall plot. I really enjoyed how the magic worked in this book and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t counting down to book 2! A very enjoyable read!

Everyone should listen to this
Love love this this audio. Sooo happy I got it. Saw who was narrator was and saw the blurb and took a chance. Love how Lista , our heroine) was granted a power from her trial in Valour ( a kingdom ). My favourite hero was Torrin. Lista overheard the crown prince of her kingdom devastated plans to squash the other kingdoms . Lista goes to the capital with Toron ( crown prince of Self ) but nobody trusts her. , there is someone that sabotage her every move. She thinks Torrin is behind her backstage, little does she find out who is behind the treason
What a cliffhanger can’t wait for book 2
Cris Dukehart was fantastic. Loved how she did all the characters she does such a great job capturing emotions and the mystery and giving the listener all the feels
