A rare conduit of Light drawn to the Shadows. A spymaster who can't seem to stay away.

For as long as she can remember, Arken Asher has been searching for answers—driven by an insatiable hunger, a need to understand the meaning behind her dangerous arcane secrets. She's finally taken that leap into the unknown, leaving her simple life behind to attend the Arcane Studium, a prestigious college of magickal arts & sciences nestled in the heart of Sophrosyne, the City of the Gods.

As the Scouting & Reconnaissance Captain of the Elder Guard, Kieran Vistarii deals in Shadows, blood, and subterfuge. Scarred by his past but dedicated to safeguarding Sophrosyne's future, Kieran's self-imposed isolation is easily masked by charm and cocksure energy. Strange disappearances have kept his cadre busy as of late, and yet the captain finds himself sidetracked, distracted by the inexplicable allure of a certain golden-eyed Conduit and her curious mind.

They both know better than to get involved, but the Fates have other plans. The dark threads of prophecy were woven long ago, and the ties that bind just might be what it takes to mend these broken, star-crossed souls… or what forges a deadly bond that could damn them all.

Of Blood and Aether is the first book in the Harbingers series, a captivating and character-driven dark romantasy saga. Rife with sizzling tension, gut-wrenching angst, addictive banter, and ever-growing stakes, the Harbingers series is perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns & Roses, Fourth Wing, and From Blood & Ash.

Lots of initial world building and character dynamics, really picking up in the last third of the book. Love the different elements of magic and celestial themes with folklore creatures. I cannot wait for the second book!

That being said, the narration was sub-par and somewhat aggravating at times. Lots of mispronunciation and incorrect inflections. The female voices by the male narrator didn’t match the fmc’s character, and the male narration by the female narrator didn’t have the same accents for certain characters. For a Podium production, it should have been narrated much better.

Good story, poor performance

This book had fresh magic systems and a beautiful they-think-they-are-friends. It was sweet and heartbreaking and the characters were a delight. I am destroyed and waiting patiently to pre-order two.

Just Right

This book had so much more depth than I was expecting. Yes it’s relationship forward but the world was well built and the pacing excellent and I’m super on the hook for book 2.

I was surprised!

The pace is slow and meandering, which I appreciated. There are scenes with banter and just sort of these lingering moments between the MMC and FMC. Some reviewers suggest this is boring or there isn’t enough plot, so if you prefer a plot driven book vs a romance centered narrative, then this might not be the story for you.

There are occasional info dumps through dialogue. I think that might be harder to get through for readers of the physical book. I enjoyed the narration and I’m usually multitasking so it didn’t bother me.

The ending is a cliffhanger with the epilogue making me yearn for the next book badly! If you need something to fill the void, I recommend Shield of Sparrows (but I read it, so I can’t recommend the narration or not)

Spoilers Below on what I didn’t like:

The ending is a cliffhanger with a third act breakup. There is a one sided miscommunication trope that I am
not a big fan of. If you don’t like bully romances like Cruel Prince, this might ruin the series for you. I wouldn’t say the MMC is totally irredeemable but it’s definitely upsetting. It also feels slightly out of character for the MMC…. I actually stopped listening and had to cool off before getting to the epilogue. The epilogue helped a lot to soothe the burn but dang, the author really hits you hard in the end. I’m excited for the next book. It wasn’t enough to put me off, but I’ve read reviews where readers felt betrayed by the sudden change in direction.

Wonderful slow paced romantasy with a cliffhanger

Female voice was hard to listen to and really get into. Male kept mispronouncing words and sounding like he was just now reading as performing rather than preparing then performing. Story line was somewhat boring and it could be because of the performance. Took 3x as long to get through this than it should have.

Narration and performance was lacking!

It’s the first time I’ve read this author - consider me a fan! I just wish that book two was already out!

Amazing slow burn!
