The Veiled Kingdom

The Veiled Kingdom Series, Book 1

By: Holly Renee

Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Aubrey Vincent

From Holly Renee, USA Today bestselling author of the Stars and Shadows series, comes a scorching new fantasy romance that ignites with relentless danger, forbidden passion, and the intoxicating allure of enemies to lovers.

Fleeing my father's cruelty, the wicked king who robbed me of a future, I face death in the streets, caught between a rebellion and a tyrant's reign.

Captured by those sworn to kill me, the rebels remain blind to my true identity—the missing daughter of the despised king. Faced with an impossible choice, I stand before them: join the rebels or face their blades.

Yet, Dacre, the son of the ruthless rebellion commander, becomes torn between suspicion and a desire that mirrors my own. He allows no one to touch me, tries to protect me, yet threatens me at every turn.

As secrets are weaved beyond our hidden realm, a fierce battle unfolds within me. As I get closer to the rebels and their cause, my loyalty to my kingdom clashes with my undeniable devotion to Dacre and the burning connection between us.

In a world where love and hate are two edges of the same blade, I find myself caught in a delicate dance between forbidden desire and my looming destiny.

Narrated in duet style.

Insta-lust

If you are a fan of zero character development for a supposed enemy to lovers plot…this is your story. I don’t really like insta-lust so I’m probably not the best judge for this one! They went from hate (for no real obvious reasons) to lust and you are mine vibes (for no obvious reason again)…..just meh to me.

Loved!

The Veiled Kingdom audiobook is a captivating journey that plunges you into a world of rebellion, secrets, and forbidden desire. Nyra, fleeing her cruel father, the king, is captured by rebels and forced to choose between joining them or facing death. The fiery tension between her and Dacre, the rebel commander’s son, is electric, and I loved the push and pull of their dynamic. The narrators did an incredible job, perfectly capturing the intensity and emotions between Nyra and Dacre, making the story come alive. If you're a fan of enemies to lovers romantasy, this audiobook is an absolute must listen and I can't wait for the release of the audiobook of book two,The Hunted Heir.

Performance was 🔥

Amazing storyline, incredible performance. I loved that both performers were included in each chapter instead of female character impersonating male character during their chapter. Can’t wait to read the next!

Would totally recommend!! Spicy but not too spicy. Narrators do a fantastic job. Thumbs up.

predictable

predictable plot, very generic for the genre, not exciting at all. I enjoyed the voice actors though.
