Summary
My body is made of scars,some were done to me,but most I did to myself.

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.

As she searches for answers, Keera is haunted by a promise she made long ago, one that will test her in every way. To keep her word, Keera must not only save herself but an entire kingdom.

Good story telling, easy listening, can’t wait for book 2

Profile Avatar Malachite Nov 2022

great book. I enjoyed the thought and work Melissa did in this book. I'm excited to see what comes next in this story.

Profile Avatar Lisa A. May 2023

A little slow to start but a great book once it got going. Can't wait for the second one!!!!

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2023

This almost feels like a parody, such poor writing and forced narrative/worldbuilding. not interesting at all I tried really hard but this is unlistenable.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2023

This reads like an advanced copy. Clunky and monotonous.

Profile Avatar Ethan Annen Jun 2023

Great story, but I do have one issue with the details. Swords don’t sit in holsters. They sit in scabbards or sheaths.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2023

It left me wanting to find out what happens next

Profile Avatar Jreedrn May 2023

I enjoyed this audiobook. Looking forward to the sequel.

Profile Avatar Rene G. May 2023

Excellent Book can't wait to hear the next on in the series

Profile Avatar Lola R. Oct 2023

The narration lacks a lot of vocal range and the rhythm is odd. The writing annoyed me how often she said the character but a lip or cheek. People don’t do that so often in real life, and there are so many other facial expressions and hand motions one can use. It’s like either the book was rushed to write or not thoroughly edited. Hardly any setting descriptions to give you a feeling of day, night or temperature. I wanted to be able to imagine the surroundings.

I’m hooked! Instantly downloaded book 2!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2023

Enjoyed it very much

Profile Avatar Troy R. Jun 2023

The story is good but it seems that female authors cannot resist using that same boring and annoying "enemies to lovers" trope. I despise that story arc, but like clockwork every female fantasy writer throws it in the story. Its especially bad with fey and vampire/werewolf story lines. So instead of a five this story gets reduced to a four for using that tired and annoying trope. I enjoyed the narrator. Her voice was soothing and enjoyable.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

It was just okay. Written we'll for the most part but I never really became attached to any of the characters which lead to the ending being disappointing.

Profile Avatar Bilguun B. Jun 2023

Very boring story, trying too hard to make it long. Every twist and reveal is too obvious.

Profile Avatar Alicia M Gioia Jun 2023

Great book. Loved it. Left me wanted more.

Profile Avatar Scott F Jun 2023

Good book can’t wait to listen to the second one

Profile Avatar L L. Jun 2023

I loved this book. Never a Sci-Fi fan, but this was intriguing. and very well narrated.

Profile Avatar JaVelle B. May 2023

Unexpectedly gooood! Can’t wait to start the second book

Profile Avatar Rick B. May 2023

book has a very good storyline looking forward to next series

Profile Avatar Darlene S. May 2023

Now I'm addicted to another series !!

This was a good book cannot wait for book 2

Once you get into it you won’t want to stop listening

Profile Avatar kwarden May 2025

loved this series really good story telling and the narrator did an excellent job

Profile Avatar Alyssa E. Apr 2025

Really enjoyed this book and the narrator is great, has a very smooth, relaxing voice.

Profile Avatar Brian H. Mar 2025

Great book, well narrated. It’s a new series that I will definitely follow. Starting book 2 now and looking forward to it.

Profile Avatar Bruce P. Jan 2025

Too long. Had to fast forward to last chapter.

Profile Avatar Keri M. Jan 2025

As a few others have said, I did think the book started off awkwardly And was predictable at times. I thought the beginning was slow and I wanted to ditch the book. But I decided to keep listening as I paid for the credit. After the slow beginning, I got into it and the story got better. I now really like the book and characters and plan to read the second book.

Profile Avatar Jessie K. Oct 2024

This was really good, and I’m so mad that I can’t immediately jump into book two after that ending! I’m. A. Wreck.

Profile Avatar Neckole S. Oct 2024

10/2/2024 I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. The characters are well thought out and I liked that the MFC was older. I wish I could see a map of the world but it was described well. The turns or the plot made me want to continue the book more often.

Profile Avatar Jackie H. Sep 2024

Enjoyed the story line and listening to the narrator tell it.

Profile Avatar Angieeedarellano Sep 2024

Great story!! highly recommend for alternatives to the Maas universe

Profile Avatar Andrea M. Sep 2024

I would be impressed if I’d read this when I was a teenager but when you come to an age like me, you’ve seen and heard a lot of things which this book also brought to the table and was unable to surprise me with its plot line. Best of luck for the next time. The narrator was nice to listen except the male voices. Those were annoying quite a bit.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2024

I loved this series....can't wait to continue listening

Profile Avatar Irina M. May 2024

I love the way the arguments between the heroine and the love interest were laid out. They were credible and to the point. All in all it is a very well written book that follows just one point of view. It has a constant rhythm, not too slow, not too fast, just right. I found that all the characters were three dimensional and even the more marginal ones were portrayed in such a way that they seemed complex. If you enjoy romance that is enemies to lovers with a morraly Grey character and a slow burn, this is your book.

Profile Avatar Aline B. May 2024

Loved it. It has some romantasy cliches, as expected, but the protagonist has some particularites that made me love her much more: (without spoiler) she isn't a super young inexperienced girl, she's really well trained and a badas long before she knows the Shadow Daddy, she's multiethnic and experience strong racism... and other things I won't say cause it'll break the surprises. I believe it was inspired in Sarah MAAS and Tolkien works.

Profile Avatar Calvin B. May 2024

21! It took until chapter 21 to finally find this book interesting!!! Smh

Profile Avatar Erin M. May 2024

I wasn’t sure I was up for the darker sides of this story, but it was well balanced with hope. Looking forward to reading the next.

Profile Avatar Talia Nicole Jan 2024

Great first book in a fantasy series. It has interesting characters, good world building and it’s easy to follow and understand. If you are looking for a book to help get you into fantasy this would be a great option.

Profile Avatar Storythreads Dec 2023

I did truly enjoy the premise of this book but the last half hour (which I saw coming unfortunately) ruined it for me, probably won’t read the upcoming books in the series.

Profile Avatar LILLIAN K. Oct 2023

Interesting and unusual story

Profile Avatar Uta H. Sep 2023

Wow really enjoyed

Profile Avatar Victoria H. Sep 2023

I loved this and the second book! Super excited for the third one!

Profile Avatar Nicky D. Jun 2023

Will definitely be following up with the second in the series. Don't know that the sometimes soft porn parts are really necessary, but enjoyed it anyway apart from that.
