About this listen
This vividly rendered novel is like HBO's Game of Thrones if it were set in the Ottoman Empire. Ambitious in scope and intimate in execution, the story's atmospheric setting is rife with political intrigue, with a deftly plotted narrative driven by fiercely passionate characters. Fans of Victoria Aveyard's The Red Queen, Kristin Cashore's Graceling, and Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes won't want to miss this visceral, immersive, and mesmerizing novel, the first in a trilogy.
No one expects a princess to be brutal. And Lada Dragwlya likes it that way. Ever since she and her gentle younger brother, Radu, were wrenched from their homeland of Wallachia and abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman courts, Lada has known that being ruthless is the key to survival. She and Radu are doomed to act as pawns in a vicious game, an unseen sword hovering over their every move. For the lineage that makes them special also makes them targets.
Lada despises the Ottomans and bides her time, planning her vengeance for the day when she can return to Wallachia and claim her birthright. Radu longs only for a place where he feels safe. And when they meet Mehmed, the defiant and lonely son of the sultan, who's expected to rule a nation, Radu feels that he's made a true friend - and Lada wonders if she's finally found someone worthy of her passion.
But Mehmed is heir to the very empire that Lada has sworn to fight against - and that Radu now considers home. Together, Lada, Radu, and Mehmed form a toxic triangle that strains the bonds of love and loyalty to the breaking point.
From New York Times best-selling author Kiersten White comes the first book in a dark, sweeping new series in which heads will roll, bodies will be impaled, and hearts will be broken.

So begins Kaikeyi’s story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on legends of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.

Story
In the beginning there was the Namsara: the child of sky and spirit who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But where there is light, there must be darkness - and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death bringer. These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up learning in hushed whispers, drawn to the forbidden figures of the past. But it isn't until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari.

A true epic with unexpected depth.
This book was so long, I feel like I have lived a full life time as it’s main character in the best way possible. This book is very well written, and for those listening to the audio book, the narrator is one of my favorites. The only tricky part of the story was how many named characters are introduced, often with similar sounding names. However, the author did an excellent job of contextualizing it so you know who was who. It was dense as far as political intrigue goes, and to be honest there was not enough combat in the book. I recommend this book for anyone who likes strong, complex, feminist woman.

I struggled at first with how long the story is. after awhile thought Fiona (Narrator) built up these amazing characters. I bought book 2 so I could read it faster than listen. absolutely adore the narrator and highly suggest this as well as the other books she reads.

Unexpectedly captivating
Generally out of my comfort zones with genre but it captured me in so well! The writing style is different from most others I’ve read right out of the gate but the main characters are so well developed and interesting I’m rooting for them even while thinking their flaws are going to cause me to DNF the book but i couldn’t put it down.
MFC is fierce and determined and almost villainous but also a scared girl trying to find her own way
MMC is soft and scared but well spoken and learns the value of being invisible.
Incredible book
Incredible performance
