Captive Prince

By: C. S. Pacat

Narrated by: Stephen Bel Davies

Damen is a warrior hero to his people and the rightful heir to the throne of Akielos, but when his half brother seizes power, Damen is captured, stripped of his identity, and sent to serve the prince of an enemy nation as a pleasure slave.

Beautiful, manipulative and deadly, his new master, Prince Laurent, epitomizes the worst of the court at Vere. But in the lethal political web of the Veretian court, nothing is as it seems, and when Damen finds himself caught up in a play for the throne, he must work together with Laurent to survive and save his country.

For Damen, there is just one rule: never, ever reveal his true identity. Because the one man Damen needs is the one man who has more reason to hate him than anyone else.

awesome story

i really enjoyed listening to the characters come alive and how much angry they have for one another how they keep lieing to each other on who the prince (slave)is. great story to listen too

great story

loved it. page turning. can't wait for the sequel. narrator had a good strong voice.

Lots of build up for what's to come.

I've been wanting to read this trilogy for so long- I'm not sure why I held off on it but I'm glad I finally bit the bullet! This first book is mostly background and build up for what's to come, and it has me completely intrigued.
It's definitely graphic and made me uncomfortable in parts. I more than likely would have passed on this if it was a contemporary read, but I don't mind so much when it's an historical read. I just kept imagining it as similar to one of my favorite television series, Spartacus.
I kept wanting Damen to just blurt out who he was, but I understand why he couldn't- it was just frustrating! So it's on to the next one to see how things start to come together.

The narration was fine. I admit I was expecting there to be some kind of an accent so it was kind of surprising to hear plain ol' english being spoken. I think Joel Leslie would have done a great job performing this series, but you can't always get what you want.

Clor Me Intrigued

Okay...intense start but I'm curious where this is going to go. It is a quick listen and little time is wasted getting into things. Check the trigger warnings for sure but don't write it off so soon.

an excellent losten

I have read the series before but the narrator really captures the mood of everything
