A Promise of Lies

Shadows of the Tenebris Court, Book 3

By: Clare Sager

Narrated by: Sarah Sampino, Liam Price

The King is dead. Long live the King. And death to his enemies.

Bargained away to Dawn Court, Kat must play the part of a helpless human bewitched by the Day King. But beneath the veneer of submission, she's playing a far more dangerous game—spying for Dusk Court, and for the one person who holds her heart: Bastian.

Separated from the woman he loves, Bastian has no time to rage against fate—or his queen. With his city on the brink of collapse and war brewing, he must uncover the truth before a devastating betrayal shatters everything he's fought to protect.

As the enemy's hold on Kat tightens, secrets from the past threaten to unravel the courts' fragile alliance. Every step brings the couple closer to a deadly choice: risk everything for love—or lose it all to the lies that bind them.

With danger, desire, and dark secrets, A Promise of Lies is the epic conclusion to Shadows of the Tenebris Court, an addictive romantasy trilogy ideal for fans of morally grey shadow daddies and heroines who refuse to give up—even when death seems set to win.

Narration

I love love love the female narrator but the male pov narrator got really difficult to listen to because every sentence ended with an inflection at the end making it sound like just individual questioning sentences and not a stream of consciousness if that makes sense. I had a hard time distinguishing between characters also because of that and towards the end found it grueling to listen to Bastian to the point where I sped up those chapters just to retrieve the information. I loved the way the female narrator voiced Bastian and would have rather heard her do his POV honestly. I probably would have liked the story more if not for that part of the narration.

Perfect narration

This was a excellent conclusion to the story and the narrators did fantastic and was well worth the wait

epic conclusion

This book had me closing it to recoup and rewinding in disbelief. I will never forgive you Clare but thank you for giving Kat the wild ending she deserves.
