A King Rises Novella

The Royal Protector Academy Series

By: Randi Cooley Wilson

Narrated by: Kale Williams, Lily Ward

From best-selling author Randi Cooley Wilson comes a new novella in her Royal Protector Academy series.

Zander Argyris never expected to reign over the Woodland Realm. He preferred living in the shadow of his stepbrother, Tristan Gallagher, being second in command of the Royal Guard, and spending his days charming nymphs - until Magali.

The last thing Magali Grayson needs is to get her heartbroken, again. After falling for her Academy friend, Ryker, and then watching him fall even harder for her roommate, Ireland, Magali never really left room in her heart for someone else - until Zander.

Zander never expected Magali. For a satyr, the lowest form of supernatural creature, gargoyles are, well - off-limits. And falling in love with one would be dangerous. Especially one who is the best friend and roommate of his brother’s mate.

Magali can’t deny her immediate connection with Zander. And even though she wasn’t looking for love, it found her. However, as with everything in their world, secrets, and bloodlines have a way of rewriting destinies. Will Zander risk everything for the one who has captivated him? Or will he accept a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself?

A King Rises is a companion novella in The Royal Protector Academy series - a dangerously exciting and darkly romantic paranormal romance series that will take your breath away. RPA can be read as a standalone trilogy or after the bestselling Revelation series. Intended for mature listeners.

Zander was a 2017 UTOPiA Award Nominee for Best Bestie or Buddy

Woodland realm filled with various characters

Contemporary paranormal fairytale creatures-like individuals. Zander and Magali were far apart. One satyr and the other a gargoyle. This quick crash in to how a satyr becomes king and falls in love with a protector.

The narrators has strong rich complementary voices that made for an enjoyable listen. This did come down to a little silly toward the end. One character said it just right “it’s like watching a train wreck”. I felt out of my depths, like a big part of the story was missing or at the very least connecting information.

Entertaining story

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and immediately fell in love with the delightful characters. Look forward to the next book.

Zander's story is amazing!

Zander and Magali are two of my favorite characters in RPA. I loved that they got their own story. The narration was great .

Magali & Zander!

Zander and Magali are magic! I really enjoyed this novella. Zander is not expecting to find love, and Magali is far off his radar. After all, she is just a gargoyle and his brother's girl's best friend. It's best to keep away from her, right? Magali is staying away from love after her last encounter, but Zander just creeps up on her! These two are meant to be. It's fast, it's fun and action packed. I loved both characters, but especially Magali. What a strong and capable woman. If you have not listened to this series, I recommend it!

The narration is spot on! Kale Williams is amazing as Zander. He brings out the strong leader he is and the passion he feels. Then Lily Ward comes in as Magali and she is brilliant. She falls into character, with her strength, her pain and her love. It's a great narration!

Love me some Zander!

Loved this book! I absolutely loved Zander. Definetly a quick listen but well worth it. Great story and left me wanting more from it. This author is new to me including the narrators and did not disappoint. I need more books narrated by Kale Williams. Love his voice!
