About this listen
Death. Betrayal. Destruction.
This was Alaya's destiny, written in the stars on the night she was born. She should have been killed because of it.
She wasn't.
The once crown prince of the highest throne in Sundolia is now the high king, and all of his advisors agree on one thing: He should have destroyed that dangerous Dragon woman when he had the chance.
He didn't.
Now war spreads like a wildfire from the southern kingdom. The empire is burning. The day of prophecy is arriving. Alaya still lives, her power more dangerous and unpredictable than ever.
And the stars, it seems, told no lies. Or did they?

Story
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.

Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Story
Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Much potential in the storyline, falls flat and leaves you unsatisfied

Doesn’t disappoint.
I think I’ve found my next favorite author in S.M. Gaither! This trilogy did not disappoint. I love that it is the same world as her Shadow and Crowns series. That has been my go to recommendation for a year now. This will be joking that list!

Great Ending
This was a great end to a fantastic trilogy! Lots of twists and turns. No smut! Just great story with a sweet romance that didn’t detract from the plot. The protagonist focused on what was most important.
The only thing that was off was the fact that nobody deals with their trauma. They all act like nothing ever happened. That part of the plot could have been better developed.

ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS!
I definitely felt a rollercoaster of emotions while listening/reading to this! I started it as an audiobook and after a while I became too impatient and wanting to know the ending that I just had to look up the ebook and read it manually.
The plot absolutely keeps you hooked! The character development as well as each character’s progress is always on point! The description of every action and events absolutely makes you feel as if you are living it!
Absolutely one of my favorites now! A must read for fantasy/romance lovers!

What a finale!
I am so pleased with how this trilogy wrapped up. Be sure to read Shadows & Crowns to catch glimpses of these characters again! 🖤
