In hiding all her life, Layala prepares for the day the wicked High Elf King Thane will come to steal her—his powerful mate. She trains to take her revenge for the wrongful execution of her parents, who died for her freedom.

Now that day has come, forcing her to come face-to-face with what she’s hidden from: a dangerous, dark-haired, warrior king determined to marry her.

After she’s shoved into a black carriage pulled by six ominous steeds, Layala makes plans to take her captors’ lives and free herself...

...but Thane has a secret that makes it impossible for Layala to slay him. She has an even darker truth that makes loving her forbidden, no matter how much Thane wants to touch.

Great Listen

I enjoyed the narrators voice and tone. I think it fit well with this story!

Couldn’t put it down

I read the entire book on my one day off instead it of adulting. LoL

Unexpected!

I didn't expect all the plot twists on this(some i did)! I'm hoping the next books are as good! I definitely enjoyed the story and tension! The last 2 hours of the audiobook had me hanging in there just waiting to see what was going to happen! I enjoyed the story!!

great story, awful narration

The story was intriguing enough that I powered through, but the narration is just bad. The voices themselves are pleasant, but the super fake British accents are AWFUL 😅. The VA is a good reader in other things, so I dont know why the awful accent for this one. Maybe the producer requested it, not sure. But just because it's elves doesnt mean you need to shoehorn a British accent, particularly when you cant actually do one.

narrative is sooo bad!

It was hard not to laugh with voice changes....almost like trying too hard. good book, bad reader!
