About this listen
'Nothing less than blasphemy brought you to me,' Jude told her. Maeve trembled. He was an open flame. Any closer, and she’d burn.
Jude is a saint with dangerous magic – exiled by the Abbey to live out his days alone in a decaying estate on the moors – until gifted iconographer Maeve is sent to paint his icon. Suspecting she’s a spy for her beloved Abbey, Jude makes it his mission to get rid of Maeve as soon as possible. That is, until he discovers that Maeve holds the same tainted magic as he does, and she may be the key to destroying the Abbey’s power…
But this institution has eyes everywhere, and the only thing the Abbey loves more than a saint is a martyr.

'Both sweeping and intimate … A tender, melancholic portrait of two lost souls rediscovering their faith through love. A debut not to be missed.' – Ava Reid, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning
'Written in prose as vivid as stained glass and heady as incense, The Sacred Space Between is a meditation on loneliness, doubt, and love that heals—and a study in tortured pining. Don’t miss it' – Allison Saft, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Dark and Drowning Tide
'An achingly tender and masterful romantic fantasy debut. Reid has crafted a beautiful study in what it is to love ourselves and others while navigating a dangerous and uncertain world. With pages that brim with courage, yearning, and atmosphere, The Sacred Space Between is a story you won't soon forget" –Kalie Cassidy, author of In the Veins of the Drowning
'Deliciously atmospheric and brimming with top tier yearning, The Sacred Space Between is a must read, and Kalie Reid should be on every romantasy lover's radar' – Tarah DeWitt, bestselling author of Savor It
'Achingly tender and atmospheric, The Sacred Space Between captured my heart with its intimate and fierce storytelling. I loved following Maeve and Jude as they found solace, comfort, and belonging in each other. Absolutely beautiful' – Maddie Martinez, author of The Maiden and Her Monster
'Reid’s debut welcomes readers into a gorgeously rendered world infused with saintly devotion, passionate yearning, and desperate heartache—and ultimately offers itself up as a prayer for catharsis, healing, and hope' – Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins On Their Bones
'By turns heartbreakingly tender and devastatingly brutal, this story of saints, iconographers, magic, and passion absolutely ensnared me. Maeve and Jude, with his 'sharp edges and soft mouth' (good grief!), live rent free in my head and heart' – Jamie Pacton, bestselling author of The Absinthe Underground, The Vermilion Emporium, and Homegrown Magic
