To Flame a Wild Flower

Crystal Bloom, Book 3

By: Sarah A. Parker

Narrated by: Chelsea Stephens, Troy Duran

It’s not in my nature to beg, but I’ll stay on my knees until I feel that flame sputter out. And then … I’ll rip the world to shreds.

I’ve tumbled into a darkness so deep it’s hard to see the light, my petals curling inward as I tip my face from the sun. Hide from my monstrous actions.

Traitor. Murderer. High Mistress.

My mistakes hunt me down, and I’m pulled into a political tug-of-war, balancing Ocruth’s welfare on the edge of a bloody blade. The moon is swelling, the weight on my shoulders is compacting, and my unfailing curiosity keeps weaving its roots in the wrong direction.

Horrible truths unravel, casting explosive light on everything I thought I knew. I’ll have no choice but to shed my morals and withering self-preservation and sow the seed of a plan set to bloom beneath a bloated moon.

One wrong move could destroy everything—destroy me.

Lines will blur, blood will spill, and I’ll learn how fragile I really am—at a cost far greater than I could have imagined.

Fate is a ravenous beast, and I can only run so far.

To Flame a Wild Flower is the third book in the Crystal Bloom series—a dark fantasy romance full of immersive imagery and breathtaking angst.

Enjoying the series, Anxious for book 4

Great story. When the male narrator reads some of Orlaith’s POV, it makes me slightly cringe. It takes me a minute to mentally think through “he sounds like a school boy mimicking a school girl”, to “focus on the story”. That might be personal preference. He reads the male’s POV beautifully. I wouldn’t oppose him just reading a male POV.

How do you end a series like this?

I absolutely hated the ending. I was so mad that it ended with so much unanswered. This book made me crazy through all of the twist and turns. I pray there’s another book in the series that hasn’t been published yet because it isn’t fair the way it ended.

Beautifully Emotional

There was absolutely NOTHING to dislike about this book. It was absolutely amazing and beautifully written. The emotion in this book had me feeling the same way the characters did. The narration is top tier , there couldn’t have been better voice actors to choose. I need more of this series. Like at least three more books. Just saying….

Unique story line

Wonderfully written and beautifully told. With a unique storyline that tells sad story’s in a heroine way.

Wonderful performance

This is my favorite series. Both voice actors did it so much justice I couldn’t imagine a better performance.
