Mother can’t kill me. Not that she hasn’t tried.

I’m the heir to a modern-day magical dynasty, daughter of the most powerful mage in existence. From day one, Mother made it apparent that she never wanted me - never wanted an heir at all.

That’s why she’s forced me into the shadows, where I remain invisible. Nobody even knows what I truly look like. Locked away, I dream of ordinary things. You know. Friends. A boyfriend. A purpose for my existence...

But I’ve got secrets too. Things she can’t find out.

For years, I’ve watched her scheme to expand her grip on the mage world. Like a snake, she waits for the right moment to strike. If she succeeds, there will be deadly consequences.

As my powers grow, I think Mother and I have both come to the same conclusion.

I might be the only thing that stands in her way.

This is a new to me author, and I was very pleased with the story and narration. Already purchased book 2.

Listener received this title free

This was my first experience with Lissa Bolts' work, and I enjoyed it a lot. Once I started the audiobook, I couldn't stop listening as I had to know what would happen. The world building was interesting. The characters were complicated. I was entertained by the independence and boldness of the heroine. I found the interaction between the two protagonists delightful and pleasing. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Carolyn Hunter's narration was good and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
