SHE LIVES BY HER INTUITION. HE FEEDS ON HER PLEASURE.

From Jennifer L. Armentrout, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash, comes the beginning of a searing fantasy romance for adults, Fall of Ruin and Wrath.

Long ago, the world was destroyed by gods. Only nine cities were spared. Separated by vast wilderness teeming with monsters and unimaginable dangers, each city is now ruled by a guardian—royalty who feed on mortal pleasure.

Born with an intuition that never fails, Calista knows her talents are of great value to the power-hungry of the world, so she lives hidden as a courtesan of the Baron of Archwood. In exchange for his protection, she grants him information.

When her intuition leads her to save a traveling prince in dire trouble, the voice inside her blazes with warning—and promise. Today he’ll bring her joy. One day he'll be her doom.

When the Baron takes an interest in the traveling prince and the prince takes an interest in Calista, she becomes the prince’s temporary companion. But the city simmers with rebellion, and with knights and monsters at her city gates and a hungry prince in her bed, intuition may not be enough to keep her safe.

Calista must choose: follow her intuition to safety or follow her heart to her downfall.

Breathtaking suspense and scorching romance meet in this immersive new fantasy from a mega-bestselling force, Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Critic reviews

"Soneela Nankani narrates Calista and Thorne's story, as told from Calista's point of view. Nankani captures the couple's developing relationship and imbues her performance with Calista's growing fear of her visions.... Secondary characters, such as the baron and his cousin, are consistently recognizable. Smooth transitions and appropriate pacing further showcase Nankani's talents. Listeners, especially fans of the author's other works, will be entertained." (AudioFile)

"Best book of the year! A masterpiece from the queen of romantasy!"—Laura Thalassa, bestselling author of the Four Horsemen series

Amazing book!!

Amazing story!! Very well written! I was hooked right away! Can’t wait for the next book!!

Wow

Here we go another book hang over 😩 JLM is a amazing writer this book has lots of world building and I can’t wait for the next one to come out! I was pleasantly surprised by all the pleasure in this book but I really shouldn’t be because FBaA has some spice I’d rate the spice level at a 🌶️🌶️🌶️ at least. If spice isn’t your thing you might rate it at 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I love JLA and I can’t wait for the next book! Definitely the kind of book you should reread just so everything clicks into place!

Loved this!

Such a good book! The beginning is hard but than it gets good!!!! Can’t wait for the second one!

Loved every minute

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and so far this is one of my favorite. The storyline itself is fantastic, the spiciness isn’t overdone and corny, the narration is perfection. I have no complaints. Im just sad the series isn’t complete so I can’t binge it.

Another Hit!!!

I hate it when J.A.’s books come to an end, but hate even more when the next book in the series isn’t available yet. So good. Whether you’ve listened to the Blood & Ash series and the Flesh & Fire series, or you’ve never listened to a Jennifer Armentrout book before, you’ll love this book.

This book definitely has the feel of her other series but I liked how this book makes reference to earth when there were cities and sky scrappers and seven continent (today’s world), bringing this fantasy story back to earth, instead of a fantasy place.

There were so many things I loved about this book. The story (as stated) was one I didn’t want to stop listening too, the narrator was great, the characters were well developed, and the author gives you just enough without being predictable.

I give this a big 👍🏻👍🏻.

Not as great but good

K liked the other books better but am still interested enough to see what happens in next book

Wonderful new series!!

This is such a great start to a new series. The plot is unlike anything that I have read before. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Just read it

Yes, we’re all here trying to get our fill from FBAA & Shadow in the Ember, and this book gives you a good mix of what we’re craving but with something totally new.
The book starts off with character building and world setting and of course that takes time to get into. I think the characters could use alittle bit more depth in this book but of course, our girl brings so much into her series.
I think spice wise, this has to be one of my favorite connections from all of her series. It’s hot, sexy, and gives all the butterflies.

Really great

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, spicy in places good development of characters and relationships. I highly recommend this title ! Performance was impressive

Loved and cannot wait for book 2!!!

Loved this book so much!!! Cannot wait to find out what is next for Lis, Grady and the Prince!!!
