Audiobook. Book #1 in the Daindreth's Assassin series.

Born to be a sorceress. Cursed to be an assassin. Chosen to be his empress.

Magic has two immutable rules—every spell requires a sacrifice and every curse can be broken.

Amira Brindonu is a sorceress turned assassin, bound in a curse that forces her to obey her father, even to the point of high treason. When he orders her to kill the future emperor, she fails, but discovers a secret that could bring the whole of the empire to its knees.

The archduke is stricken by a curse that could sentence him and his people to damnation, but Amira could be the only key to breaking it. In a desperate last-ditch effort, the archduke takes Amira prisoner and makes a pact to protect her from her curse if she will help free him of his own.

As time begins to run out, Amira soon learns that there are enemies that blades can’t touch and there are fates worse than death. Caught in a web of sorcery, intrigue, and her growing feelings for the archduke, the assassin must decide just how much she is willing to give to save the only man she’s ever loved.

Every curse can be broken, but can two cursed people save each other?

Great read

Definitely enjoyed reading the book (i.e. listening to it), the world creation is excellent, the characters are great and complex, and I'm looking forward to reading the next books.

A Pleasant and Surprising Read

I discovered the author through her social media and fell in love with her personality, so I decided to give her writing a try. I have only listened to the audiobook, but it was an easy and pleasant listen.

At first, I thought the characters were going to be cliché, but my expectations were pleasantly subverted. The way Wheatley uses that to draw you in is very clever. At first glance, they seem simple, but as the story progresses, you see how complex they truly are. I also greatly appreciated a "strong female lead" that doesn't give up her feminine side. She isn't apposed to wearing dresses or looking pretty, she's just not had a chance to live that kind of life.

So if I liked it, why didn't I give it more than three stars?
Well, this may be of no fault of Wheatley's and just a personal preference. While this is a fantasy romance, I would label it as soft fantasy. What world building there is is interesting, but I wish there was more. Again, it's a personal preference and I understand not everyone will be beaten up by that. For the last reason, I normally don't like "instant love" situations. There have been a few "love at first meeting" that I've read where I liked it, but those were an exception to the rule. Again, another personal preference, but one that really gave me a difficult time really buying into the romance. Also, I felt like the plot twist at the end was easy.

In conclusion, it is well written, has deep characters which I really liked, and an okay romance. I'm glad I've read it and will continue on in the series.

Love the story!

The story is great - Beauty and the Beast but without patriarchy mud around it.
The voicing is not professional, nor the editing - sometimes I had trouble to catch where one part of the chapter is ending and the other one starts. The names sound sometimes very similar so you need to pay extra attention to keep up with who is saying what.
But Elisabeth's investment in the story and characters is so big and great and true that you just have to love it despite the little imperfections.
I bought the first book and then the whole bundle!
