About this listen

Narrated by Elizabeth Evans, the seductive star of spicy romantasy known for the Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

Immortality has a way of changing fate.

The choice is simple: go with him or die.


Merrick, dark elfin King of Valdis, had once been heir to all that was good – happiness and pleasure, his domain. Now, trapped as the ruler of mischief, king of necessary evil, he stands on a precipice of choice. On one side, his estranged brother, now ruler of what should have been Merrick's, and on the other, King Lucien of the Damned. Both would sway him. Damnation is winning.

Lady Juliana of Bellemare is from a human family, protected by the Blessed, coveted by the Damned. Betrothed to an old friend of her father's, Juliana is resigned to living out her days close to her childhood home, longing for an adventure butnever dreaming she'd get what she wished for. When her fiancé is murdered, and the children of Bellemare are stolen, Juliana is sent on a quest in a strange realm where appearances are deceiving.

Merrick brings more adventure and passion than any woman could want. Can Juliana withstand the temptations of the Unblessed king? The spell she weaves over him is more than he can resist and desperate to be the one to rule her, Merrick offers her a choice: either come with him until he tires of her . . . or die.
