A SECRET MAGE. A VENGEFUL PRINCE.
WILL FORBIDDEN LOVE UNITE THE REALM - OR BURN IT DOWN...
*please check trigger warnings before diving in

In Tovagoth, Mages like Lena Daelyra live in fear: hunted, outlawed, and reviled. Even after fleeing to Otacia, Lena hides her magic, cloaked in silence. But when she meets Quinn Callon, a quick-witted swordsman from the Inner Ring, her walls begin to crack. He trains Lena to fight, never suspecting the truth she hides. But as their connection deepens, so does the danger... and Lena knows love is a risk she can't afford.

Silas La'Rune, Crown Prince of Otacia, has been caged within the Kingdom castle since the kidnapping and murder of his sister, the Princess. Until one day beyond the castle walls reveals a Kingdom rotting beneath its guiled surface - and a girl who shouldn't exist.

When tragedy tears Lena from Quinn, as destiny would have it, Lena and Silas' paths collide. For the future of Magekind depends on them, and love could just about be the deadliest weapon...

I had been waiting a long time for the audiobook of The Lies of Lena, and it absolutely delivers. Narrated in duet style by Natalie Van Sistine and Kieran Reagan, this production is pure magic. Van Sistine brings depth and emotional nuance to Lena, while Reagan’s masterful use of tone and volume makes Silas’ flirtation, love, and pain fully come alive. Every line is intentional, making the duet an absolute highlight.

The story itself is addictive and more than just romance, with meaningful themes and a plot you can truly get lost in. A few minor quirks—like Lena being 16 for much of the story and repeated phrases—did not stop me from staying up far too late, completely swept away.

Addictive Story Elevated by Perfect Duet Narration
