Keera is a killer. As the King’s Blade, she is the most talented spy in the kingdom. And the king’s favored assassin. When a mysterious figure moves against the Crown, Keera is called upon to hunt down the so-called Shadow. She tracks her target into the magical lands of the Fae, but Faeland is not what it seems—and neither is the Shadow. Keera is shocked by what she learns and can’t help but wonder who her enemy truly is: the King that destroyed her people or the Shadow that threatens the peace.

Agenor, Lord Protector of the Fae Isles and right hand of the Mother herself, doesn’t expect anything to still surprise him after twelve centuries of life.

Then he finds out he’s been exchanging letters with a humble human. Worse, a human challenging him to his face.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Mercenary Casia Greythorne cares about two things: completing whatever her latest job is and earning enough coin to buy the expensive medicine that's keeping her mentor alive. So when the king himself offers her a job, she can't resist the massive reward he offers - even if it means working with Captain Elander, the arrogant, mysterious right-hand to that king. Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: investigate the origins of the strange plague that's been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.

Publisher's summary
A Duty . . .
Bound in service to the king within the city, Faythe grapples with morality to keep herself and her friends safe. Nik's loyalty is tested as he struggles against his father's cruel ways. When blood and duty divide the heart, can love conquer all?
An Alliance . . .
While the kingdoms prepare to unite, Faythe is forced to remain hidden in plain sight. But suspicions quickly arise with the mysterious fae general from an ally court. Getting close to Reylan could unravel truths she longed for, but trust is hard to gain and even harder to hold. When lurking evil threatens the alliance that keeps them all safe, Faythe may find herself on the side where danger meets desire in a force that could break past the guard on her heart.
A Choice . . .
The threat of battle isn't the only conflict to fear. Faythe can't forget the deal she struck in the woods to save her friend's life—and it's time to fulfil. Finding the temple ruin leads them to harrowing discoveries within the castle . . . and something more sinister than the war that lingers. It seems everyone will receive more than they bargained for. A history that haunts, truths that destroy, and a tangled destiny they didn't expect.

Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: investigate the origins of the strange plague that's been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

Great story , the narrator threw me off
This series feels like reading acotar or ToG for the first time . Absolutely hooked and could not put the book down for hours and hours.
Pushed through the narrator, I didn’t like how the characters were portrayed (voices and accents sounded forced). She would maybe be better suited for non fiction stories idk. Would have liked for Elizabeth Evans to finish the rest of the series.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Narrator makes all the difference
After finishing 3 SJM series, read by Elizabeth Evans, I was eager to start this series. Despite some less than stellar word choices by Penaranda (only so many times I can hear “relished” misused), Evans’s skill in book 1 made made up for it, and I was caught up in the characters, the world, and the story. I eagerly downloaded book 2 and was dismayed to hear a different narrator. Dismay quickly deepened. I ended up downloading book 2 on my Kindle, finishing it there. It was easier to overlook the need for editing out overused and misused words to enjoy the story.
The story is good, not on a level with Maas, but enjoyable despite Faythe’s cringe-worthy self doubt. All of the characters begin to flesh out in book 2 and the world-building takes clearer shape. Without creating a spoiler alert, I must say it opens and closes with an appearance by Reuben that I still don’t get. Answers in book 3? Maybe.
*set reading speed at 1.2 or 1.3–it helps

Phew…glad the pain is over.
Ok a few quick things that really irked me about this book. The change in narrator, the storyline and the MC/heroine. This story was difficult for me to navigate at times and inconsistent. I skipped certain parts because If I didn’t I would not have finished. Anyway, I hope the next book will be worthwhile.

Enjoying the Journey!
I love high fantasy reads (think Throne of Glass or Lord of the Rings) and this book series is not disappointing!!

Terrible Narrator!
I can usually push through just about any narrator for a good book but not this one. I gave up by Chapter 11. Please redo these books with the original narrator.

Love the Story, killed it with the narrator
I love Elisabeth Evans, I truly got wrapped up in the first book, totally downloaded the second before finishing the 1st....boy was I shocked when I heard the new narrator!!! All i seen was Elisabeth, and didnt think anything on it being a different one..OMG, such a great story to be destroyed by this one thing, should have never changed the narrator...I did read one persons advise on speading it up (never done this before) I actually speed mine to 1.10x and can tolorate it enough to stick with it...One thing I totally cant stand is when an author changes narrators mid series, a great way to destroy a good series alone....so sad...I will wait for a next book just because of a narrator....get in a hurry and you will turn people off you awesome story.

it's not human!! worst narration ever
I can barely listen... the awkward breathy and emotionless reading has to be a machine. It's the only explanation for the drawn out over enunciation and mispronunciation. it sou ds like when you have the software read your pdfs or captions for a tiktok.
The story itself is interesting but I keep getting distracted or disinterested by the narration.

Disappointed in the switch of Narrator
Yikes! What happened. When you listen to audiobooks and you have a narrator, you can't switch to a new narrator for book 2, etc. And especially to someone so different. Yikes. This new narrator, Elisabeth Lagelee (I didn't notice the last name of the narrator was different), has a breathy soft voice. Doesn't work at all with the characters. Elizabeth Evans was just perfect. I go out of my way to find books she narrates. Too bad. But I will now probably, eventually by the ebook.

Wonderful Fantasy Story that pulls you in.
This is the second installment of Chloe C. Penaranda's fantasy series and it is absolutely brilliant. Great characters, immensely believable world-building. Even with the narrator change (which a lot of criticism has been made)- this book had me hook, line and sinker from the first page. I enjoyed book 1 just as much and I am sure book 3 will rock as well. Can't wait till the next installment!
