Publisher's summary

In a land ruled and shaped by violent magical storms, power lies with those who control them.

Aurora Pavan comes from one of the oldest Stormling families in existence. Long ago, the ungifted pledged fealty and service to her family in exchange for safe haven, and a kingdom was carved out from the wildlands and sustained by magic capable of repelling the world's deadliest foes. As the sole heir of Pavan, Aurora's been groomed to be the perfect queen. She's intelligent and brave and honorable. But she's yet to show any trace of the magic she'll need to protect her people.

To keep her secret and save her crown, Aurora's mother arranges for her to marry a dark and brooding Stormling prince from another kingdom. At first the prince seems like the perfect solution to all her problems. He'll guarantee her spot as the next queen and be the champion her people need to remain safe. But the more secrets Aurora uncovers about him, the more a future with him frightens her. When she dons a disguise and sneaks out of the palace one night to spy on him, she stumbles upon a black market dealing in the very thing she lacks - storm magic. And the people selling it? They're not Stormlings. They're storm hunters.

Legend says that her ancestors first gained their magic by facing a storm and stealing part of its essence. And when a handsome young storm hunter reveals he was born without magic but possesses it now, Aurora realizes there's a third option for her future besides ruin or marriage. She might not have magic now, but she can steal it if she's brave enough.

Challenge a tempest. Survive it. And you become its master.

Beautifully Done

Honestly one of the best books I've read of late. Not to mention it is perfectly suited for the audiobook format, the narrarator and author really came together to paint an entrancing and vivid picture that held me from the first second all the way to the very last. Would 10000% recommend!

one of the Best audibles I have listened to

this had a slow first chapter to me and I put it down for a few months. when I decided to go back to it i immediately fell in love with it though. excellent listen it only took me two days to finish I was so enthralled.

I'm hooked

Really loved this book, the fantasy story was really interesting and I'm here for the found family and romance as well. Really looking forward to listen to the rest. I thought the narration was great too.

I really enjoyed this story and it's pace.

I feel like this story got right into the thick of it, and didn't drop the ball on character development and world building. I feel like this story it did really well on pulling me in from the very beginning and maintaining intrigue. There are enough twists to keep you on your toes without becoming confusing or pointless. Also the characters are well rounded with background to back up their behavior. Give this story a chance you'll be glad you did and if you search well enough you'll find lots of free gems in the plus section. Also the third book isn't it yet out and will cost a credit but the first two are free.

INCREDIBLE

Intrigued from the first chapter. World building was great. Multiple perspectives, Slow burn romance, villains of course, and an amazing idea on storms. Really don't want to give to much away. Just read it.

I liked it a lot

That sums it up. This story was unique and I didn’t want to put it down. I will definitely be listening to Rage.

Hooked

I loved this book. Could not put it down! Romance without taking it to far. Creative and different. Can’t wait for Reign to come out.

Great

I'm a dude an I normally don't like books like this, but this kept me wanting more.

Very strong characters !

I loved the visuals of the storms and the connections each character has to elements in the very unique world. If you are a fan of the Throne of Glass series these books are for you! I rated it so highly because the second this book ended I started the next !

Good Book

I enjoyed listening to this first book and I love the narrator.

It did take a while to get interesting. But once I got a couple of hours into the book it was very good. Definitely worth a listen!
