About this audiobook

Throne of Glass meets Black Jewels in this twisted yet alluring dark fantasy tale. Quinn Darkova, freed from the chains of slavery, wants nothing more than vengeance against those who sold her. But with her dark powers on the rise and her ascension nearing, Quinn's blood retribution will have to wait in favor of her immediate survival. Lazarus Fierte is a nobleman without equal. He's as controlling as he is stubborn, and for the last six years he's been waiting for a woman to appear-but not just any woman. A Maji of great power, capable of terrible things. She could be the key to everything he holds dear. His savior . . . or his destroyer. The only thing he didn't predict was that she would become both. Contains mature themes.

Ratings and reviews

I am in love! This story is exceptional. It is hard to find a series with relatable adult content, great character development, outstanding world building, and themes done in a fresh way. Political intrigue, a unique magic system, and deliciously dark characters and themes are all present. Alot of books have good guys and bad guys. I love stories like this one, where the bad guys are good and the good guys are bad. I love this series and can't wait for more!
