Publisher's summary

Fairytales are for the naive.

Princess assassin Gray Monroe is ordered by her father to kill the villainous prince responsible for throwing the modern world into a post-apocalyptic society. In a decrepit landscape where two magical species war with one another while a human militia hunts them all, Gray has only one thing on her mind: vengeance.

With a single focus on killing the man who murdered her first love, she believes nothing will stop her. That is until she hesitates when she comes face-to-face with her nemesis at long last.

Gray must return to the King's Palace empty-handed for her annual birthday celebration to a court of vipers who lie in wait for a slip in her icy façade. When a sinister plot is revealed to assassinate the princess, she must flee into a world where she's now hunted and must survive to get the revenge she's owed.

Prince Griffin Silas is on a mission of his own: to kill the King. The problem is he's suffering from an affliction that robs him of his sanity while making him crave violence and death. First, he needs the princess in his hands no matter the cost. In a race against his spiraling affliction, who will achieve their goal first?

The first installment in the Celestials of Arcadia, A Touch of Gold and Madness is a dark romantic fantasy about moving through a lifetime of trauma. It's packed with action, secrets, betrayal, tension, and slow-burning steam. Discover the long-buried truths concealed by those who seek ultimate power. For mature listeners.

Love the narrators

Unsure why some people aren’t liking the male narrator I thought he was fantastic. He has a natural kind of crackling voice, but it bodes well for the character, really enjoyed the story

Engaging storyline. Good character development.

I really enjoyed this one. It was a little slow to start, but then picked up and hooked me in. Off I go to see if there’s a release date for the second book.

A great romantasy!

4.5 ⭐️ I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and the post-apocalyptic setting. This book definitely gave true enemies to lovers. The plot twist at the end was crazy. I also really enjoyed the writing. I am very interested to see where the story goes from here.

Good book , annoying MMC voice ☹

I liked the book very much but i’m sorry , i just couldn’t stand hearing the MMC’s voice , he’s just trying so hard to be sexy 😅 at times i couldn’t focus on the words because i was so annoyed. So i just transferred to reading instead of listening . The FMC great tho !

Amazing story!

Such an amazing story. I do not care for the MMC voice. It’s so breathy and whiny. Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way about him but I idk if I can finish it, it”s that annoying. I’m sorry for saying that but it took away from the story! FMC did an amazing job!

The only thing good about this WAS the narration.

I fell in love with Corvin in For the Fans so I am used to his slow drawl. I was cool with it. She did a great job too. But this story sucked!! Too slow, too long, it was like the ending of GOT nothing was explained about things that kept happening. And I don’t even care to find out why now. Took me a month to get through this and I finished all of ACOTAR in 2 weeks. I’m not a slow reader.
