Publisher's summary

What if it takes a monster to save a kingdom?

I'll never forget the sight of my little sister's lifeless body—or that my rogue magic killed her.

Sorcery like mine is punishable by death. So I live in the shadows, stealing from the corrupt to give to the needy. Maybe a little good can wash the blood from my hands.

It seems like a decent plan... until I try to help a dying noblewoman and somehow steal her soul instead.

Now her ghost is demanding I take up the quest that got her killed: exposing a conspiracy at the royal college to unleash a deadly power on the entire kingdom.

Do I want to infiltrate the cutthroat world of haughty elites? Gods, no. But if I can save the kingdom, I could save my own soul too.

So I'll pose as a refined lady, attending their classes and fancy balls, sneaking and spying like I learned on the streets. But I can't tackle this threat alone. I'll need to win the trust of the dead woman's allies: four arrogant noblemen.

Four damaged yet dangerously enticing men. No matter what they stir in my heart, I can't afford to let them get too close.

Because if they discover the monstrous things I'm capable of, saving my soul will be the least of my worries...

*Thief of Silver and Souls is the first in a new fantasy romance series full of forbidden magic, impossible love, hot damaged men, and a rebellious heroine who's so much more than she imagines.*

My first time reading/listening to a Eva Chase book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the build up of Ivys character. I really enjoyed Michelle Sparks narration of this books.

A thievery read!

What if it takes a monster to save a kingdom?

A compulsive and imaginative read - a very good start in this new series.

I can never be disappointed by this author. It also looks like I have a new favourite series.

Gripping and captivating. Excited for more!

Perfect for readers of fantasy romances.

Perfect choice in narrator.

absolutely love this book

this book just pulled me in and would not let me go. I couldn't stop listening once I started reading and listening. so excited for all of them

Exceptional

A book this good comes around maybe once every 10 years and I’m glad I was a part of the journey. If book two is anything like book one, I’m sold.

If you like Nora Roberts’ fantasy books then you’ll love this book!

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review, and damn I’m glad I was!

A great book especially with how picky I am but I'm sad it's over ..

Dark Fantasy Filled With Intrigue

This was my first experience with Eva Chase's work, and it was fascinating. The worldbuilding was complex. The characters were complicated, and Ivy's character was a blend of both light and dark traits. The story contained some surprising twists and kept my attention. There were a couple of descriptive steamy scenes. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Michelle Sparks' narration was entertaining and enhanced my enjoyment of the tale. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Loved it.

I always enjoy Eva Chase's books and was excited to start this new series. As I listened to the audiobook, I enjoyed how the narrator brought the characters to life in a way that made you feel like you were part of the story. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Fun, epic world-building.

This one definitely hooked me from the start thanks to fun world-building and a very likable character, in an interesting predicament—not that you could ever go wrong with Chase! I mean, who doesn’t love a good female lead thief /street-rat?

Imagine a lost soul just sort of … accidentally latches onto you can your life is no longer your own? Well, you don’t have to, you could just read this!

This was a fun read that provoked thought and explored the boundaries of friendship, tested loyalties, treated the reader to magic and packed lots of adventure.


Overall:

4 stars.


The narrator was absolutely fantastic, and the overall sound quality perfect.
5 stars.
