Summary

A completely gripping fantasy romance

"I was born to fly," I told my brothers. But it isn’t true. I was born to be a pawn in the great game of royal houses, married to someone - anyone - my family deems suitable. If I’m lucky, he’ll be my own age and bearable. If I’m very lucky, he’ll be someone who understands my need to fight, and to fly....

Bel, born to nobility, would do anything to spend her days alongside her brothers - soaring through the heavens in her beloved flyer. She’s faster than any of them, but she knows her days in the skies are numbered.

When a surprise attack on the palace lands Bel’s father on the throne, her life is forever changed. In order to secure her father’s empire, Bel must travel to a distant land to marry Conleith, the recently widowed young ruler.

But Bel’s new home is less than welcoming. Compared to the refined ladies at court, Bel seems like a wild woman, and assassination attempts, treason, and mystery threaten her at every turn. With a growing attraction to Con, her life is further complicated by the attentive leader of her bodyguard - a warrior called Shae whom she has loved since childhood....

A heart-stoppingly magical new novel that will keep you up late at night. Perfect for fans of The Selection, Bella Forrest, and Sarah J. Maas.

Not what I thought it was going to be, but great!

I really wasn't sure about this story at the start. I couldn't see where it was going and I couldn't see how it was going to last as long as the time said it would. And then it kicked in. The slow setup worked perfectly allowing the characters time to show themselves, for the lay of the land and the customs to be explained. And then, crikey! I ended up really enjoying the story and especially the characters. I just loved the way it progressed. So enjoyable.

Heather Costa does a brilliant job with the narration. I could tell who was who without being told. Great stuff.

Amazing

I cannot wait until the next book.. this book transports you to another world... you get lost in the story so easily that I finished it within two days... I loved how the author gave detailed descriptions so that you can easily imagine the majestic buildings, scenery .. etc, this book has something for everyone... fierce heroine, love story, epic battles.. different worlds and creatures ... love it

Unfinished and returned

Sorry! I really hate your voice and couldn't even listen through chapter 1. I have the story on Kindle - I'll read it myself.

I can't listen to her voice!!

This reader is just impossible to listen to. She simply does not have the ability to make her own voice fade behind the story. Awful

Sorry didn’t enjoy it at all!

Sorry this book did not keep attention at all... found the wording quite repetitive... and didn’t feel anything for the characters!
