Acerca de esta escucha
Once, I helped save a kingdom.
Now, I’m trapped in a prison of thorns and nightmares.
My crime? Knowing the location of a power that could reshape the world—a grimoire I swore to protect with my life.
That secret is the only thing keeping me alive while my captors wait for me to break.
Until he arrives.
Beautiful. Ruthless. Dark, inscrutable eyes. A dangerously wicked grin.
But he’s not here to rescue me. He wants the grimoire for himself–and he’ll destroy anyone who stands in his way. My only choice is a fragile, temporary alliance with a man I can never trust.
Because there’s more at stake than just a stolen grimoire or an ancient grudge.
And behind his mask of effortless allure, he’s hiding something far more dangerous than a thirst for power.
Something that could destroy us all.

Historia
The all-knowing semelees swirled around me in the Veiled Between, crooning and writhing. “You’ve come to us, Daughter of Darkness, Princess of Shadows. Tell us what you seek.”On the Silten continent, I’m the only fae who can walk the Veiled Between. My rare power is immense and dangerous, so the authorities have entrusted me to my guardian who controls my potent magic with an enchanted device. To avoid the device’s searing punishment, I submit to a dutiful life. Until one terrifying night everything changes.

Historia
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Historia
Half-Fae Elessia could have had everything. Literally. Since her magic allows her to compel anyone to do her bidding by merely looking into their eyes, the world was at her feet. But after a tragic accident, she is thrown into the Fae king's dungeons and forced to swear a blood oath to him, binding her to his service. Five years later, she's living amongst humans in Ellow and has created a life for herself—as much as she can with the king's promise to call in his debt looming over her.

Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

Wren Embervale, alchemist-turned-assassin, finds solace in only one thing: seeking vengeance for the death of her friends. The wars of the past may be over, but her thirst for revenge is far from quenched. For years, she has been content with her poisons and potions for company, but when an unknown form of alchemy is used to attack a king of the midrealms, Wren’s time in the shadows comes to an end. She’s offered a place at the ancient alchemy academy of Drevenor to find a cure to the dark magic threatening the kingdoms. To win her spot, she must conquer the Gauntlet.

I spent five years saving up for a European vacation. But instead of drinking champagne on the beach, I get swept into a war of espionage between the humans and the fey. It turns out, I have a magic power needed to fight an evil fey king. I'm quickly whisked off to an elite spy academy in a hidden realm. There, in the ancient and gothic halls of Avalon Tower, snobbery and brutal competitions are among the oldest traditions.

I’ve spent twenty-five years in the Hollow, poor as dirt, cursed with a stepmother who hates me, and dreaming about a faraway land that I don’t understand. Only two things that make life worth living are my falcon, Fetch, and my best friend, Molly. But when Molly’s plot to land a royal husband at the palace ball goes horribly wrong, I find myself staring at a king with a glass stiletto buried in his chest and a blood-covered Molly standing over him. We’ve got to move…and fast, or we’ll both wind up swinging from the hangman’s noose.

But first, she must enter the Sundering—an arena where only the fastest, strongest, and deadliest survive long enough to be selected for the emperor’s elite guard.

Historia
I’ve spent twenty-five years in the Hollow, poor as dirt, cursed with a stepmother who hates me, and dreaming about a faraway land that I don’t understand. Only two things that make life worth living are my falcon, Fetch, and my best friend, Molly. But when Molly’s plot to land a royal husband at the palace ball goes horribly wrong, I find myself staring at a king with a glass stiletto buried in his chest and a blood-covered Molly standing over him. We’ve got to move…and fast, or we’ll both wind up swinging from the hangman’s noose.

Once a territory built on matriarchal rule and values, Tìr Teine has since grown frail from a long line of fruitless kings, the most recent of which have ruled under the influence of the True Religion, an oppressive group who have steadily poisoned the region with their anti-magic teachings. Born to rule and blessed by fire, Aemyra has begrudgingly lived in hiding rather than risk her life in court, waiting in anticipation for the current king’s death so she can bond to his dragon, claim her throne, and protect her people.

This Vicious Dream
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
If you do not remember, Madinia was a crucial character in the Kingdom of Lies series that Stacia created!! She was always a character I loved, and I could not wait to be able to jump into this book!
My reviews are always a little different, because I truly do not like to put any type of spoilers in my reviews!! And that is a personal preference, because I would not want to ruin anything within the story for anyone else. I love that is Dual POV, as well!! Do you have to read the Kingdom of Lies series to be able to read This Vicious Dream? NO, the world building is fantastic, and this can be read as a standalone. But having all of the knowledge of Madinia’s background definitely made reading this more enjoyable.
We are meeting Madinia after the events of the Kingdom of Lies series. So it does feel like a continuation, but from another character’s point of view (WHICH I LOVED). Madinia is fiery, fierce, and deadly all on her own accord!! We are catching up with Madinia three years after the events of the ending of Kingdom of Lies, and much as happened to our poor girl. Madinia had originally fled with the grimorie and hid it from anyone who wanted to use it!! Especially for anything that they had fought so hard to change.
Calysian was also introduced in the Kingdom of Lies Series. A man with hidden secrets, unknown power, and a little amnesia (Yes, he doesn't remember some of why he is on the continent). We start to peel back the layers that is Calysian during their travels, including his secrets and him wanting the grimorie, and why. His hidden alternative motives come to light and have taken everyone off guard!
Together, Madinia and Caysian spend a good portion of the book not trusting each other further than they could throw each other. But you can feel that spark, that connection, something undeniable that they both feel, and try and fight for as long as they possibly can. Because in their eyes, they are each other's enemy. They spend a great portion of the book trying to outmaneuver each other and figure out what each other's true motives are. But somehow they still come together for some intimate moments, emotions and feelings get high(which is something Madinia is not used to). But too many things happen, that by the end of the book you are ready to start kicking some character butt too!
Lots of twists and turns happen along the way, and you may even see a favorite character or two from The Kingdom of Lies Series!! I truly enjoyed this read, and am so happy it is a duology and can not wait to read the next book, because that cliffhanger sucks!! But Stacia does like to torture us with her cliffhangers!
I do have an ARC of this book, but I read it after the book was released, so this is not an ARC review!
I did listen to the Audio version of the book, and I just loved it!! They continued to use the same narrators that they used with the Kingdom of Lies series, which just made it feel like I was coming home! The book was paced well, and the emotion felt from the narrators was amazing!!

“I am also very tightly crossing my fingers for a spin-off perhaps focusing on a Pirate Queen and a certain fire wielding Hybrid???”
So when I found out this book was happening, I was thrilled!!
The action was packed and had me hooked from the very first chapter. Madinia was as feisty and prickly as ever, and seriously her signature fire to the story!
The ties to Kingdom of Lies were perfection and I loved the glimpses and the chance to catch up with some past characters. And I without a doubt, cannot wait to see how Madinia and Calysians relationship grows in the next book!
Welcome back, Madinia!

I had such a good time reading this. The story is so clearly well thought out with incredible world and character/relationship building. The creativity and vivid imagery for places and monsters really is fantastic and you can’t help but picture the story in your mind. The story immediately grabs your attention from the beginning, and then the mysteries keep you on the edge of your seat, with bits of information revealed little by little; literally up until the last page, you will be hit with twists and turns. It’s interesting, intense, and riveting.
This book is exactly what I hope for in an interconnected series. For those who read the Kingdom of Lies (KoL) series, you certainly get a little extra so far as context, as well as the joy of following two beloved characters on a new and more focused journey. If you haven’t read the KoL series, you get plenty of context to follow enough of what transpired in that series so that everything makes perfect sense, but with a little delayed gratification (in a good way) by having to wait for certain information to be given.
I love poor traumatized and tortured Madinia, in all of her grumpy and aggressively prickly, feminine rage-fueled glory. She needs (and deserves) so much therapy and a good quiet life at the end of all of this, but Calysian is the perfect distraction/balm to her tortured soul. And the mysteries around Calysian are so intriguing, adding to the allure of his giant tense and stoic godliness.
The relationship between Calysian and Madinia is so deliciously angsty; the “will they, won’t they”- fueled by intense trust issues- is so well done and is an excellent portrayal of reluctant-allies to lovers. The banter is so much fun- I especially enjoyed how cheeky Calysian can be (like in Chapter 15). I thought the slow-burn pacing was perfect; you have to wait for it, but not too long, and without a 180 in their dynamic after they give in, which I think suits the story well. As the story progresses, their relationship truly develops into something so beautiful, yet beautifully tragic as they each pursue differing end goals. 😩😮💨
On a light, side-note, Calysian’s horse, Fox, is my favorite character. His sass, belligerence, and surly/bad attitude are hilarious and I just adore him.
This was such a good time and I cannot wait to see where this series goes… Stacia is a fantastic storyteller, and this book just got better with every page. I definitely recommend this one, especially if you enjoyed the KoL series!
Such a Good Time Returning to this World!
