About this listen
She's a 300-year-old Fae assassin with a bloodstained soul.
He's the mortal High King's chief enforcer, responsible for hunting and killing her people. Their marriage will be the breaking—and the making—of them both.
Bree Fellshadow is a master assassin, but when she's sent to work as a spy in the enemy court, she finds herself out of her depth.
Killing the queen's enemies is easy compared to pretending to be a biddable wife or dealing with her obnoxious chief-enforcer husband—a powerful warrior-druid who both enrages and unsettles her.
Cailean mac Brochan is also worryingly suspicious, and she keeps drawing his attention. But Bree must gain his trust, to learn where and when the enemy will strike.
That is… if she survives long enough.
Outlander meets The Witcher and Throne of Glass. From bestselling author Jayne Castel comes a brand new, romantic fantasy duology, where druids, mortals, and Fae collide with Celtic myth. If you love stories about betrayal, sacrifice, divided loyalties, and redemption—and if you like fierce, stabby heroines, and grumpy, protective heroes—you won't be able to stop listening to this addictive romantasy.
This is book one in a duology and will end on a cliffhanger. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Story
I'm an omega, but I'm wrong. Tainted. A glitch in the natural order. My dreams drag me to a shadow kingdom of cruel beauty where sinful alpha monsters reign supreme—crowned heads of various courts, their very presence igniting my inner omega that's laid dormant impatiently. Their crowns gleam with unholy light, their scents ignite a hunger in me I don't understand. I should submit. I should want to obey. Instead, I feel power stirring dangerously in my veins.

Story
I see dead people. While it might sound cool, I can assure you, it's not. The dead are even bigger assholes than the living. I learned at a young age to be invisible. Even breathing wrong could set my father off. The beatings became progressively worse as I got older, and I feared I wouldn't survive to see my eighteenth birthday. So I plotted my escape, and no one was more surprised that it worked than me!

Kidnapped from my college campus, just as I tasted freedom, I’m sold to the Angel of Death—Angelo Santi, the vampire mafia King. I’m now a captive in a world I never knew existed, caught in a tangled web of ancient feuds and dangerous desires. He claims that I have the power to save his people by reigniting a dying magical stone. He’s delusional. I have no powers, but if I try to escape, he’ll start by killing my best friend and move to everyone I’ve ever loved.

Story
Life has a sick sense of humor. One minute, I'm arguing with my mobster ex while dripping wet in nothing but a towel. The next, he's dead on the floor, and I'm naked, vulnerable, and at the sole mercy of the most dangerous man in New York City. I've heard the rumors that all the mafia families bow to Creed Ferraro, but I never expected him to drag me into their world. Creed blames me for his brother's death, and now, I'm also a witness to his violent crime. I know the rules. In the mafia, witnesses and enemies don't get to live.

I don't fall for women. Women fall for me. I'm Lake Decker, best running back in the league. Former. After a debilitating injury forced me to step back from my budding career, the last thing I thought I'd be doing was drooling at the feet of my stale-looking therapist. But her saucy attitude, strict professionalism, and the occasional shiner have my curiosities piqued.

Sweet college romance with killer narration!

".....if you like fierce, stabby heroines, and grumpy, protective heroes—you won’t be able to put down this addictive Romantasy."
The Book Overview promises, and oh my God am I addicted! I counted the days till the audiobook release—that is, yesterday—and from the very first minutes of listening, I was utterly enthralled. I couldn’t bear to click pause and found myself revisiting favourite passages simply to relish the sheer beauty of it all; the interplay between narrative and narration cast a spell that left me completely entranced.
Never before have I re-listened to an audiobook, yet Bree and Cailean, brought vividly to life by Anais Inara Chase’s and Will Thorne’s deep, magical voices, will undoubtedly remain with me for a very long time. This masterfully woven saga, seamlessly blending epic fantasy with romance and breathing life into druids, mortals, the Fae, and Celtic myths, has triumphantly conquered both my heart and mind.
I urge all fantasy and romance advocates to make haste. Seize this unique opportunity to experience the most enticing explosion of emotions. Immerse yourselves in Castel's bewitching realms, and let Bree and Cailean's tantalising passion sweep you off your feet.
When epic fantasy and unbridled romance collide, readers squeal!
