The Curse of the Goddess

The Queen and the Heiress, Book 1

De: C.C. González

Narrado por: Ava Flynn

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

The Oracle foretold that Princess Valda Aither of the Sky Kingdom would discover her mate on her twenty-fifth birthday. They would lock eyes and find each other, as has happened since the dawn of time. Valda desperately wanted to believe the Oracle, but her hopes of finding her soulmate were shattered when she inexplicably lost her vision during her birthday celebration. Needing time to heal and adapt to her new reality, she was assigned an assistant, a young woman named Maris Era, who set her body and mind ablaze.

Maris just wanted to navigate life as quietly as possible. After her home in the Sea Kingdom was destroyed, she was adopted as a baby by a Skylian soldier and his wife. Maris was kept hidden for most of her life until tragedy struck. Alone and struggling to survive in a kingdom where Sealians are unwelcome, Maris found herself working in Oberon Castle, face-to-face with the man she believes is responsible for her suffering, while also caring for the next queen of the Sky Kingdom.

Despite her reluctance to accept a mate, Maris cannot resist her attraction to Valda and the need to be with her at all times. Yet, she must uncover the truth about who was behind her family's demise, but how can she do so when Valda consumes her every breath?

For mature listeners.

Story + Performance = Easy 5 stars

Pros: Great story. Narrator was fantastic. Spice was on point and necessary.

Con: I’m a little tired of seeing powerful female characters written to behave so densely to what’s happening around them. These characters would have known better. They wouldn’t have led with their emotions on every single thing. They didn’t need to be knocked down so many pegs for the next book.

loved it

We need the next book! I really liked how the ending showed us why the general became the villain.

Great Sapphic Fantasy!

I really enjoyed listening to this book! It was a great fantasy! Princess Valda was a force to be reckoned. It was wonderful seeing her fall in love with Maris. I loved the energy between these two. Looking forward to book 2.

great sapphic fantasy

wonderful narration.
was absolutely amazed by the details, lore, world-building, and especially the characters. 🫠
This book has everything you want in a sapphic fantasy, layered backstories, deception, and intrigue that pulls you in from the start. It’s rich, captivating, and full of complexity.
And the smut will have you breaking a sweat.🥵
It’s smutting! very well written, it’s bold, delicious, and hot. 🔥🔥

Wow

Good world building. Amazing characters. Great story-fantasy, action, spicy romance. Fabulous narration. Can’t wait for the next book to be available on audiobook.

Very nice Queer Romantasy

I liked it. Wasn’t my favorite but it was nice, not cheesy or anything. Slow kinda burn even though they’re soul mates so it was sweet.

Amazing!

CCGonzalez incredible story and Ava Flynn marvelous perfomance, You can feel all the emotions x10. Amazing job!

Great sapphic love story!

I loved the story line and the slow burn romance between the two main characters. The spice was on point. I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Great World Building!

I hesitated to purchase this book mostly because I wasn't sure if it would be sapphic enough or if the story would just drag on, but NO to all of that. CC Gonzalez has built an interesting world with magic and love and fated mates. Once I reached the middle of the story I was searching to see if I could get the next book in the series! It is SO worth a credit to listen to this book! This is my first listen to Ava Flynn narrating and I think she nailed it!

I'm looking forward to the next book in June!!!

Fast and thrilling plot to accompany some amazing heroins

This books checks the boxes of; has a plot, fantasy, and adventure, strong masc characters, and a magical something( shall not be named to not spoil the plot) that I would existed in our world. I will read this book again, I did order the physical copies and I can’t wait for the second one in the series to be available; hats off to the author.
