About this listen
No war can be fought with clean hands. Not even the ones waged for the right reasons. Not even the ones you win.
Tisaanah bargained away her own freedom to save those she left behind in slavery. Now, bound by her blood pact, she must fight the Orders' war—and Max is determined to protect her at all costs.
But when a betrayal tears apart Ara, Max and Tisaanah are pushed into an even bloodier conflict. Tisaanah must gamble with Reshaye's power to claim an impossible victory. And Max, forced into leadership, must confront everything he hoped to forget: his past, and his own mysterious magic.
All the while, darker forces loom—far darker, even, than the Orders' secrets.
As Tisaanah and Max are ensnared in a web of ancient magic and twisted secrets, one question remains: what are they willing to sacrifice for victory? For power? For love?
Contains mature themes.

Second great book in the series
Excellent continuation of the series. The audio was also so much better than the first book. Looking forward to the next book now.

DEAR LORD!! the audiobook almost made me quit.
4.5!!! Chef Kiss!!
“Men want power because it makes them feel good. Women want power because it lets us do things.
What will you do if you have a lot of power (magical or otherwise), what is really “to do good”?
The great writing remains after book 1. We are still following Max and Tisaanah’s journey; learning a bit more about Reshaye, which I must admit I fell for in this book too and that was unexpected.
We are getting more information about the magic system, where it come from and the perils that might come from mistakes and bad decisions making in the past.
You can not avoid being so immerse in the story that you feel you are there, just besides the characters, living in this world. That is how well written this story is.
The narration was poorly POORLY edited. It is even worse than the audible of the first book. One can hear the female narrator breaks and swallows.. the male narrator is either exhausted or frustrated, IT IS AWFUL
But the book itself is great, so it is very sad that many will drop it off due tot he narration.

Even better than the first
This was a great second book and (thus far) doesn’t suffer from the dreaded ‘middle book syndrome’. There is enough action and conclusion to the initial stories whilst opening up an even more epic story yet to come. The voice actors were good (though I found the male narrator’s breaths in both this and the previous book a bit distracting) and production could do with some more co-ordination, as the different voice actors gave different accents to a couple of characters, which was a bit confusing.

Captivating second book of the series
Great book for all who love quality fantasy, with dynamic world-building, unexpected turns and strong characters. As for the audiobook, the male voice is flat and disappointing, the the female part is great though.

The male voice actor makes me mad
For some reason the way the male voice actor does his parts really irk me. Not much of a performance and my brain switches off to what he says. Also not a huge fan of the female voice actor either but it’s slightly better than the male.
Overall the story is good though, which is what matters

Unedited Performance, Poorly Paced Plot
It’s not that the voice actors were bad, it’s that nobody wants to hear them swallowing between sentences. How was that not edited out?
This book somehow manages to feel rushed and still be a slog to read. Loved the additional POV, but overall the book felt like it was two books squashed into one instead of one combined story that flows naturally, which made the first half feel meaningless and the second half feel slow and boring. I doubt I’ll pick up the next one.

Make sure to listen to the sample before purchasing!
I loved this story but couldn’t listen past chapter 6 and switched to reading only the book.
The female narrator constantly sounded like she was on the brink of crying, not conveying the strength of Tissanah that I had read. Which is a shame because she has a lovely voice. Also her version of Max sounded like a gremlin which was an odd choice. I would have still happily finished the audiobook if it was purely narrated by Esther as I could get past the wavering voice.
However, Dan’s performance was the nail in the coffin. I can’t put into words how off putting the male narrator was, somehow both equally monotone and repetitively rhythmic. Hard to listen to, he seemed to struggle with the pace of reading out loud.
The book however is brilliant, Carissa is a brilliant writer who brings depth to her characters and the world she had created. I really recommend buying her books!
