Book Description

She claimed her crown. Now she must fight to keep it—and survive the fate that binds her to a prince of fire and ruin.

Ana is a queen without a throne, a warrior cut off from her magic, a prisoner in a temple built to break her. But she’s endured worse—and this time, she’s not alone.

Leon is fire and fury, the fae prince once fated to betray her. Now, he’s her fiercest protector, her closest ally, and the one man she can’t live without.

Their bond was forged in blood and magic. It's unshakable. Unavoidable. And dangerously deepening.

But war is coming—and it’s not just blades and crowns at stake. Ana must navigate shifting alliances, unstable power, and a kingdom teetering on the edge. Her magic is changing. Her enemies are circling. And fate has plans for her and Leon that neither of them understand.

Together, they could save the realm.

Or they could tear it apart.

My Thoughts

Prisoner of Darkness and Dreams by Zara Storm is a high-stakes third installment in the Fated to the Sun and Stars series, picking up immediately after the previous book’s cliffhanger. Narrated with intense emotion and grit by Jessie Elwyn and Christopher Andrews, the story follows Ana Angevire, a queen without a throne, as she finds herself caged and tortured within a Temple by the villainous Grand Bearer, Caledon.

While Ana’s magic unravels and her kingdom slips through her fingers, her only hope lies with Leonidas Clearwyn. Once the fae prince she swore to destroy, Leon has now become her fiercest protector, burning with his own promise of vengeance as he risks everything to find her. Their bond, forged in blood and fire, deepens into something inescapable and dangerous, forcing them to navigate a connection that is as powerful as it is unpredictable.

The narrative expands in this volume through multiple points of view, introducing new perspectives that enrich the world-building and offer fresh insights into the looming conflict. These side characters and the themes of found family provide a necessary balance to the darker elements of the plot, such as the terrifying, brainwashed zealots who serve as Caledon’s sinister instruments of control.

As an ancient magic rises and a war brews on the horizon, Ana must rally an army of monsters and traitors to reclaim her throne while her own powers remain dangerously unstable. The tension builds toward a series of final chapters that are emotionally devastating, leaving readers and listeners desperate for the next chapter of the saga.

Jessie Elwyn and Christopher Andrews’ performances perfectly capture the vulnerability and strength of the protagonists, elevating the story’s themes of survival and sacrifice. It is a gripping continuation that balances romantic tension with the brutal realities of a kingdom on the brink of ruin.
