About this audiobook
When a young woman—scarred by fire, bonded to a dragon, and wielding forbidden magic—enters an elite magic academy, she must survive deadly secrets, a prophecy that could end the world, and a dangerous love triangle with two rival brothers in this explosive romantasy perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass, and Powerless.
One girl. Two brothers. A school built on secrets. And a bond that could burn down the world.
Scarlet Throne has been broken. Burned alive and survived.
Now, she’s a wild card with forbidden magic and a dragon with no memories—enrolled in Mageia War College only because she has nowhere else to go. She’s supposed to stay quiet. Stay controlled. Stay away from too much power. It’s too bad staying in control has never been her strong suit.
She never expected to find purpose. Or friends. Or to fall for two brothers with secrets of their own. Caught between the welcoming and charming Shayde and the unpredictable and dangerous Rhodes, Scarlet must guard her heart as fiercely as her life. Falling for either of them would be a mistake. Falling for both could be deadly.
But love isn’t the only fire rising. Someone is hunting Scarlet from within the college walls. Professors are dying and whispers are swirling that she is the one destined to destroy them all. And the more Scarlet digs for truth, the more her own darkness threatens to break free.
As dark truths unravel and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, Scarlet must confront the trauma she’s buried, the power she’s never asked for, and a fate that may cost her everything.
The Scars Within is a spellbinding romantasy packed with slow-burn heat, found family, snarky banter, and a dangerous romance that scorches through every page.

I loved the dual narration. They did a great job! The story gave Fourth Wing vibes and I loved every moment of it. The main character is a fighter who picked herself up even though she would see herself as both the hero and villain of her story. she found people who cared about her even though she had a horrible past. The many conversations she has with those who care for her made my heart warm towards them. It's such a beautiful story and very symbolic of what the author herself went through.
