The Dagger and the Flame

By: Catherine Doyle

Narrated by: Freddy Carter, Emily Carey

“Sizzling romance, stunning worldbuilding, spectacular writing.” —Lauren Roberts, New York Times bestselling author of Powerless

In the dark underbelly of a beautiful city, two rival assassins are pitted against each other in a deadly game of revenge, where the most dangerous mistake of all is falling in love in this “steamy” (Publishers Weekly) young adult fantasy.

In Fantome, a kingdom of cobbled streets, flickering lamplight, beautiful buildings, and secret catacombs, Shade-magic is a scarce and deadly commodity controlled by two enemy guilds: the Cloaks and the Daggers—the thieves and the assassins. On the night of her mother’s murder, eighteen-year-old Seraphine runs for her life. Seeking sanctuary with the Cloaks, Sera’s heart is set on revenge. But are her secret abilities a match for the dark-haired boy whose quicksilver eyes follow her around the city?

Nothing can prepare Sera for the moment she finally comes face-to-face with Ransom, heir to the Order of Daggers. And Ransom is shocked to discover that this unassuming farm girl wields a strange and blazing magic he has never seen before. As the Cloaks and the Daggers grapple for control of Fantome’s underworld, Sera and Ransom are consumed by the push and pull of their magic…and the deadly spark and terrible vengeance that keeps drawing them back together.

Amazing

This was such a great read. I need the next one! And Freddy Carter reading Ransom’s parts was wonderful.

Hot damn

Reading along with the audio book and god damn. I wasn’t t expecting that plot twist

Absolutely Amazing!!!

Ok first off petition for Freddy Carter to PLS read more audiobooks. It’s actually a crime he didn’t read on Six of Crows. He’s so good and so perfect t for this specific role as well. Both narrators are truly amazing performances 100!! The story was so good as well, yes it’s YA/NA so please read/listen with the correct expectations but it was SO good! Cannot wait for the sequel and under no circumstances should the narrators change. I hope they do more audiobooks books together and I hope we get future performances from Freddy in general.

Don’t understand reviews- not great

I bought this based on the description and great reviews but I’m really struggling to get into this book! Very YA and the female narrator makes everyone seem like they are even younger and more immature than the teenage characters which then gets really gross when they get at all romantic! The story is creative but the tone of the female narrator is completely at odds.

Well done

This audio was very well done. It kept me entertained throughout the whole time both the FC and the MMC narrator were really good.
