Resumen del Editor

Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive. Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City's most notorious crime boss. But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom.

Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor's sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death. But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess - an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince.

Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being. Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him.

Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape. As she digs deeper, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all.

Fantastic start to a new series!

A Fate of Wrath and Flame had been sitting on my TBR pile for months, before I ultimately decided to listen to the audiobook. I’m so glad I did! The world building in this story, the romantic tension between Romy and Zander, the side characters—it was all fantastic. The narration was also really good. I bought the ebook sequel before I even finished the audiobook because I knew I would want to dive straight in. My favorite part was the slow burn between Romy and Zander, it was perfect. The tension and steam between these two characters was delicious, and I was so happy for them when they finally gave in! The ending was a huge cliffhanger, so I am excited to see where things go in book 2!

If you're questioning this one, Don't!

This isn't my usual preference of book, but I was so intrigued by the synopsis and other reviews that I went with my gut and took a chance on it, and I am SO GLAD that I did.

the narrator was a little robotic and shirt of sounds like you're listening to Siri read a book to you, but the story is so enthralling that after less than an hour in, I stopped caring. I couldn't stop listening to this book, and I'm mad at myself for getting it just before the release of the second one later this year!

Even if this isn't your usual genre, take the chance! you won't regret it!

I Enjoyed This!

This was a really good story. I got invested in the characters and the plot. Looking forward to continuing!

Speed up the Narrator

I very much enjoyed the story. I think the combination of characters are greatly varied and I love the differences. There were a few characters I think deserved a little more to their story. The ending is a little cliche.

Now my issue, the narrator. I was bored at the first sentence. It took far to long to get those words out, I sped it up to 1.2 and it made all the difference to include making it sound like she had inflection in her voice. I feel that this book could benefit from a more creative narration.

loved it

awesome!!! excited for book 2! I was unsure at first but once we left NY...oh yes!

Loves it!

I've read so many fantasy books, but somehow this one still feels original. The characters are fascinating. Like others, I anxiously await the next book.

Very engaging can’t leave the book alone until finished

It was amazing world building is very intricate and detailed, and I could follow with ease must-read not a lot of spicy scenes, though sure Aley/M will buy it

Wow!

I noticed a lot of reviews said the narrators voice was bland. While I agree it didn’t have as much pep as some other narrators, it also wasn’t as bad as some others I’ve heard. And the story is so incredible, i get so lost, no longer aware of how the voice sounds anyways.

Such an intricate and interesting story!

Love this narrator and love this story. It captivated me from the very beginning and I can't wait to find out what happens next. K.A. Tucker is such a great storyteller and I'm so invested in what happens to the Romeria and Zander.

Couldn’t stop listening

Loved this! I was never bored, and always asking questions! I love the mystery aspect, and I also liked forming my own conclusions. Which I should add I was wrong. I felt a disconnection with one of the characters which did lead me to guess one part of the ending correctly but I read a lot of these kinds of books and have a good sense
