About this listen

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.

Dare to dive into this whimsical and deeply romantic story inspired by Hades & Persephone, The Lord of the Rings, and a sprinkle of Norse mythology. A tale that will grip you from the first moment and stay with you long after the last. Start listening now!

I thought it was an adult fantasy like From Blood and Ash or ACOTAR but it is very YA. The slow, very very slow burn turns out to be nothing when the mating scene is not detailed. And the narrator voice, specifically for men characters, is very robotic. The book has potential just wasn’t explored deeply.

Not what I expected

I was hoping it would be like acotar or fbaa but it was very YA. It was a very, very slow burn which wasn’t really worth the wait. But storyline was decent enough.

Okay read
