About this listen

“All magic is beautiful...and terrible. Do you not see the beauty in yours, nor the terror in mine? You can stop a heart, and I can stop your breath.”

She is heir to a Sultanate that once ruled the world. He is an unwanted prince with the power to destroy. She is order and intellect, a woman fit to rule in a man's place. He is chaos and violence and will stop at nothing to protect his people.

His magic answers hers with shadow for light. They need each other, but the cost of balance may be too high a price. Magic is dying and the only way to save it is to enlist mages who wield the forbidden power of death, mages cast out centuries ago in a brutal and bloody war.

Now, a new war is coming. Science and machines to replace magic and old religion.

They must find a way to save their people from annihilation and balance the sacred Wheel—but first, they will have to balance their own forbidden passion. His peace for her tempest, his restlessness for her calm.

Night and day, dusk and dawn, the end, and the beginning.

Definitely deserves more attention. The author reels you in with amazing charachter work, interesting world building and carefully laid out events. The prose is well crafted and thoughtful. Narrators also have wonderful performances. Would highly recommend giving it a shot.

book is excellent 100/10. I do not like the male reader doing the female main characters voice, it's off-putting. I also found his tone too baritone that it reverberated my speakers and echoed in the room because of it (even reducing the audio bass settings didn't help...), and I had to play the book louder than preferred sometimes to hear and understand as he rumbled a bit much. Female reader was absolutely excellent in all aspects.

excellent book and female narrator

This book totally deserves more hype. Can’t wait to get to the others in the series.

Definitely recommended reading

Naime is one of the smartest characters I have encountered. Her calm temper, strength and overwhelming dialogues inspire anyone. She is the Sultan's daughter and she is straight to the point: she wants to unify the magicians and fight against the Republic for the benefit of all. For this manoeuvre, she needs an alliance with Sarkum, the neighboring kingdom. Hard task difficult to get when the Council is dedicated to knocking each and every one of her ideas for the greed of selfish reasons and power. An exciting political intrigue, a romantic subplot in its fair measure, and a satisfactory end make this reading such a pleasure.

I highly recommend the excellent narration of both Caren Naess and Tim Campbell (Audible).

Intelligent characters !
