Publisher's summary

Free the crows, Fallon, and they will make you queen.

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well...by all but one.

Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I'd go.

If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.

And that I'd become this demon's obsession.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Mary E. Pearson will devour this epic fantasy romance full of deceit, betrayal, and false loves that could swallow a person whole.

I enjoyed, main character is a little dense

I really liked this audiobook. I wished that MC was not quite so slow…like she was given 100 clues and basically has zero powers of deduction….

Unique, engaging world and characters

This first book in the series is very good. I like the pacing and friendships and relationships building as the story progresses. I really enjoyed the characters too, and I couldn't wait to continue with the second book.

The story was amazing!

This is a great read will definitely recommend. I've been looking for something new in paranormal fantasy genre thats not just the usual angels, werewolves , vampires and this book really suprised me . The protagonist wasn't just some whiny girl who just wants a prince she actually smart , cunning, ambitious and she doesn't back down which I loved! Her development over time really shocked and pleased because she got better and better. The story had so many twists that I didn't see coming really detailed imagery that made me feel I could see what she was describing. I can't wait for book 2 the author definitely gained a fan!

Unusual Magic

I love the story line and the naive MFC. Will be listening to the second because I am very interested to learn what is in store for Fallon and this Crow king!

Wayyyy better than i thought!

I sorta thought this would be like all the other similar books in the genre, but it was actually really good! pretty slow starting and the main character is kinda slow, but the narrator did an amazing job displaying the character is a fun way! honestly really loved this book and getting the second immediately!

Love the story!

I’m intrigued, great story and the characters are very intriguing. Recommended read. Not a lot of spice in this first book, I’m good with that. I am after adventure and this is the perfect beginning. Kings, Queens, magic and crows what is not to love ?
