Publisher's summary

In the underground Fae realm, only the strongest and most ruthless have power—but a young human woman forced into a life of servitude is about to change everything.

Kenna Heron is best known in her village for being a little wild—some say half feral—but she’ll need every ounce of that ferocity to survive captivity in the cruel Fae court.

Trapped as a servant in the faeries’ underground kingdom of Mistei, Kenna must help her new mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn’t, the punishment is death—for both mistress and servant.

With no ally but a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters, magic, and grueling physical tests. But worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in a secret rebellion against the inventively sadistic faerie king. When her feelings for the rebellion’s leader turn passionate, Kenna must decide if she’s willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness.

Surviving the trials and overthrowing a tyrant king will take cunning, courage, and an iron will... but even that may not be enough.

Critic reviews

"Hawley (A Werewolf’s Guide to Seducing a Vampire) nimbly pivots from contemporary paranormal rom-com to full-on romantasy in her steamy Shards of Magic series opener…. The inevitable sex scenes sizzle, but Hawley truly shines in her depiction of female friendship. Fans of Sarah J. Maas will find much to enjoy in this twisty tale of rebellion and romance."—Publishers Weekly

"Servant of Earth is a darkly enchanting page-turner laden with sensuality and intrigue. Sarah Hawley's haunting prose deftly guides readers through twist after heartstopping twist in a world as dangerous as it is richly built, featuring fascinatingly complex characters and the more sinister side of magic—and of love. I could not put this down."—Thea Guanzon, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

"A spellbinding fantasy debut from Sarah Hawley, full of fae intrigue, dangerous men, and magical vengeance."—Katie Shepard, author of No One Does It Like You

Amazing attention to detail

For me, it’s in the details. The author did an excellent job with enough little details to grasp their image, yet enough left to your own imagination in this beautiful fantasy suspense romance! My 3 favorite genres in one! And the narration was astonishing. I regularly found myself impressed with the voice acting.

Wow just wow

I am both elated and devastated. This book, sorry, and was phenomenal and the narrator did an amazing job. I’m devastated that I have to wait a full year for book 2. Of you love Romantasy. Do not pass this up.
