For a princess, becoming the savior of a nation could mean sacrificing love and life in this breathtaking conclusion to the epic Eye of the Goddess trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Sariah Wilson.

Princess Lia of Locris is the unlikeliest person to be Ilion’s defender. Once, she’d have gladly seen the entire adversarial nation burn. But much has changed. Ilion is home to too many innocents, including her sister. Besides, there is no escaping the goddess’s command. Lia is Ilion’s prophesied savior.

With that mortal obligation come rules: She must never consummate her marriage to Xander, prince of Ilion, lest she lose her powers of divine magic when she needs them most. Physically bonded to share each other’s pain, these former enemies have grown from merely attracted to something more profound. But what future can they have when Lia’s destiny requires sacrificing her life?

As enemies close in and war threatens everything they love, Lia and Xander must find a way to follow the goddess’s laws while also accepting the truth in their hearts—before the prophecy demands its final, fatal price.

Critic reviews

“Exceptional, original, creative, written with Wilson’s genuine flair for the kind of narrative driven storytelling style that immerses her readers from start to finish, A Curse of Ashes, with its impressive blending of romance and action/adventure, is highly recommended.”—Midwest Book Review

Editorial Review

An ending for the ages
The final book of The Eye of the Goddess series is here, and I can’t believe that we are finally about to get the HEA that we (ok, ok that I) have been waiting for with these characters that I’ve grown to love so much. A Curse of Ashes picks up right after the events in A Vow of Embers with Lia and Xander working to figure out how they can escape the goddess’s command and navigate the VERY complicated feelings that they now have for each other. This is a romantasy, so we’re getting the happily ever after. The real journey here is how were getting there because at the start it seems almost impossible, and boy does Sariah Wilson deliver one last big adventure where we may see more than just one happily ever after. Therese Plummer who has excellently narrated the entire series returns to perform, which is the icing on this delicious last slice of cake . —Patty R., Audible Editor

So sad this journey has come to an end! I laughed, cried and couldn’t help but smile at how this trilogy concluded. I think there’s definitely other characters to focus on with a time skip or perhaps a prequel about the Great War… but this one wrapped up nicely, albeit a bit rushed toward the finish line. Overall… two thumbs up!

Love, loyalty and all the things!

This trilogy kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The way I now care for these characters, you’d think they were real. The ending wrapped everything up beautifully. how I wish I could follow along for the rest of their lives, it will probably consume me for the rest of mine.

Incredible trilogy

Author did a great job seeding and tying everything together between the three books. Really enjoyed the story and if she has a chance to write about these characters again, I would definitely read it.

Loved it

This was such a treat! I fell in love with this series earlier this year and had completely forgot this was due to release. The audio narrator is perfect and the story has so many enjoyable bits. Not too long of an audio book too- perfect for a couple days reading. So glad to have gotten a chance to listen to book 3!

Perfect Book 3
