A Sky of Emerald Stars

A Novel

By: A.K. Mulford

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Vico Ortiz

From the bestselling author of The High Mountain Court A.K. Mulford comes the second enchanting book in the all-new Golden Court romantasy trilogy—A Sky of Emerald Stars continues wolf-shifter Calla’s journey and explores a new story—Sadie’s—as kingdoms clash with war on the horizon and pack politics threatens to disrupt what Calla and Grae have built, both for themselves, and Aotreas.

A secret song. A hidden fortress. A world on the brink of war.

After the long, despotic reign under the evil sorceress, Sawyn, life in the Golden Court is finally rebuilding. New leadership means new beginnings, and Sadie Rauxtide—now a royal guard—has been grappling with how she’ll fit into her new home. But when a rival Wolf king, Nero, kidnaps the Queen’s friend and mentor Ora, any hopes for peace are lost.

The Golden Court springs into action, and Sadie is tasked with an important mission: travel with Navin and Maez to try to win new allies and uncover Nero’s hidden secrets. Yet Navin has secrets of his own, and Sadie is tasked with uncovering them while battling her growing attraction to the man who betrayed her. She has a mission, but the heart wants what it wants. And fate? Fate has its own magic, and it’s one more thing out of her control.

Meanwhile, Queen Calla is forced to seek help from the Ice Wolf pack in order to stop Nero’s prejudicial rule. However, the Queen of Taigos makes Calla’s objectives impossible with their capricious relationship standing in the way—completely unwilling to commit in helping Calla rescue Ora and repeatedly dismissing Calla’s new gender identity. With no true allyship from Taigos Court, Calla battles between diplomacy and being their true self as they realize coming out is only the beginning of their journey of self-discovery.

Tensions rise on both fronts as Sadie and Calla struggle to gain support for the brewing war and realize that the world of Aotreas is more than it seems. Full of high-stakes adventures, self-discovery, and love in all forms, A Sky of Emerald Stars follows the beginning of a revolution and the relentless fight for peace.

Supplemental audiobook enhancement accompanies the audiobook.

Very good

Perfect fantasy story with plenty of plot twists and a wonderful adventure with wolf shifter content that isn’t cringe and lays out these elements incredibly. Definitely worth the credit overall. Only story issue for me is the spice, I can’t do too much of that, and it’s pretty intense and needless in this series. It’s decently spread out though, so if you’re here for the fantasy and more fluffy side of romantasy, then you can just skip over those parts. Also, wonderful narration, my only issue there is that Calla’s narrator makes Grae’s voice very hoarse and scratchy, and other male voices generally strained and uncomfortable which is a bit annoying. Good heavily outweighs the bad here, though. Again, DEFINITELY worth the credit! Great listen.
