Publisher's summary

Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.

In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't do for a glass of water.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember.

But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her.

Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate.

His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it home.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details...

From USA Today bestselling author Callie Hart comes a brand new, highly addicting enemies-to-lovers romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won't be able to stop listening to! For mature listeners.

Narrated in duet style.

Best Audio book I have had the pleasure to hear

Anthony Palmini was amazing. This is my fourth book read by him and by far his best performance. The book was good, but the audio performance took it to another level placing it to my favorite read/listen of 2024. My first book with Stella Bloom and I am happy with this choice, I hope they read next year’s release of the second book! Which I am now looking forward to more than ever.

Performance

This story! The way it was written and produced OH MY GOD!💜
These narrators were made for each other!

5 stars!

I loved this book, it was so fun and also exciting! I was pretty stressed out the last 20 percent. The narrators did a great job.

loved getting lost in this book

I loved this book! The FMC was bad ass and loved the banter and all the side characters. I Loved King Fisher. Can't wait for the next book.

So good

The performance added so much to this book! Love the heroine and her indomitable spirit and how she heals the hero. Amazing story!

Voices and story was amazing!

This was amazing! The story was so good! But the voice actors were top notch!

I enjoyed it!

I liked the plot line! The magic system was fascinating! I wish the slow burn was dragged out a bit more than it was. Because it began to feel more romance than plot. But overall the balance between the two was well done!

On par with iron flame or ACOTAR with story and engagement.

This book needs way more hype. The story is engrossing and unique. The characters are entertaining and easy to invest in. The twist and turns in the story pull you in and don’t disappoint at all. The narration is amazing and perfect. I can’t wait for the story to continue.

Such an amazing book!

I love having the male and female voices in it, this is one of my first audiobooks and I’m super glad this was my first one. This is such a good book!

Loved it

This was one of the most well done audibles. The voices are absolutely amazing. The story was fantastic. The characters are so so great. Spice was spicy. Overall amazing story and can’t wait for the next one.
