Summary

Helena's life had always been quiet. In fact, she liked it that way. When her childhood friend returns home and tells her that she is the prophesied ruler of the Chosen, those blessed with the gift of magic, her quiet life goes up in flames. 

Suddenly Helena finds herself surrounded by a circle of protectors, each having sworn their loyalty to her since her birth. All except for one: her Mate. It's not enough that she must learn how to use her magic and undergo a trial to prove her worthiness; in order to claim her title, Helena must also find the man who carries the other half of her soul. 

Exiled due to a past he had no part in, Von is the last man the Chosen expect Helena to select. Despite their protests, his soul calls to hers and there's no denying that he was made for her. But the prophecy stands, and all isn't as it seems. There's an enemy lurking within plain sight who will stop at nothing to destroy her. Contains mature themes.

Really Enjoyable.

Easy to get into and get lost in. After this first story I've had to purchase more credits to get the other books in the series as I need to know what happens next.

Loved this narrator and I’m fated mates inspired

4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️&1.5🌶️. I listened to this on audiobook. I’ve always somewhat avoided the “fated mates” style things before as I can’t comprehend how it’s much different to true love 🤷🏻‍♀️. I didn’t actually know this contained it… it just played as my “up next” on my RARE24 authors audible collection. So, I went into it pretty blind. I did really enjoy it! The narrator was amazing, and the style reminded me much of the bridge kingdom which I also loved. I now know why folk chat about fourth wing containing fated mates vibes…I probably will carry on the series at some stage, but theres so many great books to get through! First world problems lmao. There was a great balance of action, romance, world building and spice in this. It wasn’t too much to handle. Bravo!

Book is a let down

A very interesting concept that I was excited to read but unfortunately the book is very disappointing. The characters are poorly developed, overly indulged and very clichéd. The magic system is lazy, vague and poorly explained. The plot is at times extremely rushed and at others uneventful and rather boring, it only begins to heat up and show any promise in the last 20minutes. The adult scenes read like a horny teen writing fanfic, again eye-rolling clichés abound. I wouldn't recommend.

Easy listen, slow starter

An alright storyline but a slow starter and does jump about a bit within the story.
