About this listen
Sometimes destiny is written. Hers was concealed.
When Cate travels from Oregon to university in England, she expects her gravest dilemma to be finding coffee instead of tea, but she’s got bigger problems—much bigger. At Staton University, nothing is quite what it seems.
Even her own identity.
Unbeknownst to Cate, a prophecy deems her as destined to defeat a ruthless enemy in a magical land, placing a target squarely on her back. Now, someone on campus is stalking her, and a narrow escape sends her through a mysterious portal, assisted by two irresistible boys.
Yet the fantastical new world is even more treacherous with rival kingdoms and imminent war.
Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan, but what’s a girl to do? A fresh start was all she wanted—a few new friends in the dorms with a trusty latte in hand—not war, an estranged biological father who is king, or a star-crossed love straight out of Romeo and Juliet (hopefully without the dying part).
As the battle looms, Cate must solve the mystery of the prophecy and decide who in her circle is trustworthy before the place she now calls home is destroyed.
Don't miss this new Young Adult Romantic Fantasy from debut author SK Horton about first love in a fantastical new world. Featuring swoon-worthy romance, court intrigue, backstabbing villains and so much more, it's perfect for fans of Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood, Lauren Roberts' Powerless, and lovers of all things romantasy!

Solid YA romantasy
I enjoyed several elements of this story; Cate is a likeable FMC and very easy to connect to and I was engaged in her journey throughout. There were a lot of solid tropes such as forced proximity, enemies to lovers and a chosen one plot however as it was so fast paced some parts just felt skimmed over (such as the whole university element which was a pity). The enemies to lovers had so much potential especially with the animosity between Lucas and Daniel at the beginning however it fizzled out pretty quickly.
I am on the fence about the romance element as on the one hand it was quite refreshing to see a young heroine still be a little shy and unsure of herself rather than a becoming a fully rounded mature adult the minute they hit 18. It is a YA book so that works however there wasn't any real romantic tension between any of the characters; Lucas was friend-zoned pretty early on and Daniel was the token dark haired love interest.
Amanda Leigh Cobb does a great job narrating and I loved her spin on all of the characters. Her male narration was particularly good and she shone in some of the lighter moments. Cobb's flirty Lucas was a highlight with Cate's call to her parents being another stand out. It is a very easy listen and a good entry level YA romantasy; I think this would have been a gateway book for me when I was younger.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
