Mikira Rusel is out of options. With her father imprisoned and facing rising debts, there's only one way to save her family from ruin: enter the Illinir, a high-stakes, cross-country horse race known for its high death toll as much as its flashy prize money.
To have any chance of success she'll have to recruit Ari, an unlicensed enchanter, Damien, a lord in the midst of a succession battle, and Reid; the brooding horse trainer who will be the key to Mikira's survival.
All her accomplices have reasons of their own to help Mikira - and their own blood feuds to avenge. And as alliances deepen and romances form, Mikira will have to discover where everyone's true loyalties lie.
In a world as dangerous as this, remember to keep your enemies close and your friends closer . . .
This Dark Descent by Kalyn Josephson features gorgeous full colour character artwork printed on the inside cover.

I have to admit I'm not a horse person, and also not a horse race person. But I love a good competition in a good fantasy book, and this is what we find here. A dangerous world with many intrigue and a horse breeder's daughter who has to ride for her life. With the help of some very interesting people, which we can or can't trust....who knows.
The setting is great and the stakes are high. I'm a lover of dual POV and both characters there are equally interesting. Eventually though the story didn't fully reel me in. The audiobook is great with two narrators for the different POVs. I had to listen carefully because the voices are a bit similar, but all in all it's narrated very entertaining. 3,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @macmillan.audio for the ALC! #ThisDarkDescent #Netgalley
