About this listen
In this charming debut fantasy perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and Fire, a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous magic, and the two strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom.
Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back - even for just a little while - is to steal love from others.
Wren is a source - a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren - the only caretaker to her ailing father - has spent her life hiding her secret.
When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father.
Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them - that is, if they don’t kill each other first.

Falling in love with magic
When I read the description of this book I was like yay, a book about magic, witches and the main characters are lesbians, I was so excited.
It is a fantastic book with lots of magic and a sweet falling in love story of Tamsin and Wren.
Wren is a magical source and Tamsin is a witch and they work together to take down the bad witch which has put the world into a downward spiral and caused a plaque among the common folk.
There are twists and and turns all the way through the book, it’s a slow burn love story, I will say the only thing that I would of liked more passion between Wren and Tamsin, for example when they had a kiss it was nice but there was no fireworks or sparks and if there was, that should of been more described as for me it lacked passion. I wasn’t bothered about it not being sexual between them in this book as I don’t think it’s needed.
The narration was great, one narrator did Tamsin’s chapter and the other narrator did Wren’s chapter.

Enjoyable read
I really enjoyed this story and I am quite sad that there isn’t a second book. I would of loved a little bit more of the story to concentrate on the building relationship between the two main characters but I also understand the way the relationship was written. The only slightly annoying thing is that one of the narrator’s sound slightly robotic when talking as some of the characters.
Overall I think this is a really nice YA read and I am hoping there maybe a second book to come as I have so many questions about what comes next and feel like there are many possibilities.
