About this listen
New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Estep blasts off with an exciting new science-fiction/fantasy adventure with a dash of historical romance. This action-packed space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soul mates and enemies-to-lovers story. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Bridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.
A woman who sees everything...
Few people know the name Vesper Quill. To most folks, I’m just a lowly lab rat who designs brewmakers and other household appliances in the research-and-development lab at the powerful Kent Corp. But when I point out a design flaw and a safety hazard in the new line of Kent Corp spaceships, everyone knows who I am—and wants to eliminate me.
I might be a seer with a photographic memory, but I don’t see the trouble headed my way until it’s too late. Suddenly, I’m surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.
I don’t think things can get any worse until I meet Kyrion Caldaren, an arrogant Regal lord who insists that we have a connection, one that could be the death of us both.
A man who can’t forget his past...
The name Kyrion Caldaren strikes fear in the hearts of people across the Archipelago Galaxy. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force, I’m used to being a villain, as well as the personal assassin of Lord Callus Holloway. Even the wealthy Regals who live on the planet of Corios are afraid of me.
But everything changes when I meet Vesper Quill. I might be a powerful psion with telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities, but Vesper sees far too many of my secrets.
Thanks to an arcane, unwanted quirk of psionic magic, the two of us are forced to work together to unravel a dangerous conspiracy and outwit the deadly enemies who want to bend us to their will.

Only Great Chapters
I'm sold. The voices are best, the reading is superb. The world is rich and I can't wait for the entire series to exist so I can listen to it many times. I know it sounds like hyperbole, but unlike life: it's fair.

Cerebral challenge.
I could never quite get a grasp of what was going happen next. But I had to keep read on. I'm looking forward to start reading the second book which is already in my library.

Excellent story snd great narration
Realy enjoyed this book. The pace of the book was very good, developing both the characters and story arc not to fast but not labouring either. the narration was great - Lauren Fortgang was brilliant as always, and the male narrater was OK, though his pronunciation of some words was a little odd! though not enough to be totally off-putting. I finished the book and immediatly downloaded the follow-up !

Brilliant interplay, good storyline, next please.
Loved the characters, the story is somewhat unusual with an interesting psychological element. Well read, with excellent empathy.

A solid SF romance
This was a fun book. I really liked Vesper as a FL - she's smart and uses her skills to her advantage. Plus, as both the FL and ML are a bit older (i.e. not 18 or at university), it gave them chance to actually have history and experience (and baggage). The romance was believable and world building well put together. Whilst the "big baddies" are little more than ominous (more details in the sequel?), the immediate antagonists have good motivations and the smart ones actually act smart
The story ends on a "resolved for now", but lots of plot strings to pick up in the sequel.
Narration: the dual point of view was read by two excellent narrators. It worked really well for me
