About this listen
A romantic, suspenseful, genre-bending debut set in Edwardian London.
Amid the sumptuous backdrop of the London season in 1905, headstrong Katherine Sinclair must join the ranks of debutantes vying for suitors. Unfortunately for Katherine, she cannot imagine anything more loathsome - or dangerous. To help ease her entrance into society, Katherine’s family has elicited the assistance of the Earl of Thornewood, a friend and London’s most eligible bachelor, to be her constant companion at the endless fetes and balls. But upon her arrival in London, Katherine realizes there will be more to this season than just white gowns and husband hunting. Through her late mother’s enchanted diary, Katherine receives warning to keep hidden her otherworldly ability to perform arcana, a magic fueled by the power of the sun. Any misstep could mean ruin - and not just for her family name. The Order of the Eternal Sun is everywhere - hunting for those like her, able to feed on arcana with only a touch of the hand. But society intrigue can be just as perilous as the Order. The machinations of the fashionable elite are a constant threat, and those who covet Katherine’s arcana, seeking the power of her birthright, could be hiding behind the facade of every suitor - even the darkly handsome Earl of Thornewood. With so much danger and suspicion, can she give her heart to the one who captivates her, or is he just another after her power?

Story
Katya’s power to freeze anything she touches has made her an outcast in her isolated village. And when she loses control of her ability, accidentally killing several villagers, she is banished to the palace of the terrifying Prince Alexander in Kiev. At the castle, though, she is surprised to find that Alexander, or “Sasha”, as he prefers to be called, is just like her - with his own strange talent, the ability to summon fire. Instead of punishment, Sasha offers Katya friendship and the chance to embrace her power rather than fear it.

As Molly Dark knows all too well, the problem with being able to see ghosts is that they never tell you what you wish to know. For instance, how a proper young lady like Miss Dark is supposed to support an impoverished family after her father has died a ruined man. Or how she is going to impersonate a missing princess long enough to steal a fortune out from under the collective noses of a whole family of royal monsters. Or exactly why the charming imposter claims to be none other than Grand Duke Vasily Nikolaevich, when he certainly isn’t a prince…or a vampire.

Stunning!
This story was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend to any “historical” romantic drama lovers or whatever it is that we are lol. The author did a fantastic job keeping the storyline engaging ans added just enough twists and turns to not be able to guess what happens next, I sure hope there’s a sequel coming!

Lovely story
This was so good. The narrator was wonderful, her voice was so soft.
This fantasy had less magic than I usually read, bit still just enough. I loved the characters, and hated the antagonists. Blackburn, definitely. And especially Eliza. Ugh.
I'd say the writing was done wonderfully.

Could not stop listening!!!!
This book is everything. I enjoyed it thoroughly and have listened to it several times already. It keeps you on edge wanting to hear more and more. The reader is an excellent choice.The author did an excellent job making this story engaging. I wished I could read more from this author and would gladly buy all of her books. Unfortunately, the next novel is not available here on audible but can be purchased through Kindle. I cannot wait for it. to be available via audible.

Soft, Gentle Story -
I was afraid this book would be too "formula-ic" in the romance category as I usually like more action in my listens... but this was a fun summer find. Like a cool breeze the story is entertaining and had enough supernatural to keep my interest going throughout.
I was home sick and listened to the entire book. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.

painfull
The thing is the story and performance are pretty good but it's very difficult to listen to the main character talk . She is one moment strong and the next week and is being manipulated . When she desides to leave the ballroom and actually go out to the garden to AVOID an unsavory charactor...it's like I just cant' listen anymore. She's such a twit.
