About this listen

Stealing from a fae lord is a desperate plan…

As a human servant at the Crimson Court, Allie knows better than to anger the fae. Cunning and politics are her tools of survival. But when an unwanted suitor threatens her younger sister, Allie can think of only one way to protect her family…

Steal from the fae.

Agenor, Lord Protector of the Fae Isles and right hand of the Mother herself, doesn’t expect anything to still surprise him after twelve centuries of life. Finding a taunting note from an anonymous thief in his wardrobe is enough to rouse his curiosity, though. Enough to do the unthinkable—write back.

Then he finds out he’s been exchanging letters with a humble human. Worse, a human challenging him to his face.

A simple bargain is supposed to teach her a lesson. But the harder he tries to put her in her place, the harder she defies him… Soon their game sparks an unexpected romance—but will even love be enough when their loyalties collide?

Heart of Silk and Shadows is a prequel novel to the Fae Isles series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone, but the characters’ journey continues in the main series.

This adult fae romance contains a generous dose of smoldering glances, passionate longing, and midnight meetings of the illicit type. It is recommended for a mature audience.

A Heartbreaking and Necessary Novella

I listened to this on audio while beginning Queens of Mist and Madness (the Fourth and Final book of this series).

The tandem was unintentional, but so perfect! Not only did my heart ache for these main characters, but the way their story is incorporated into the final book of the series was that much more impactful.

This story had so much feel and heart, and I absolutely relished the opportunity to devour the story that brought us Emelin!

This is an absolute gem and a must read for further context into the series!

Better than the main story

I didn’t know what this was going to be about going into it. I’ve listened to the other fae isles books, and was soooo stoked to hear Aganor’s and Allie’s story romance. Yooo I want an entire spin off of just them!!

Really Quite Fabulous

I unfortunately did not enjoy Book 1 in this series, but I thoroughly enjoyed this prequel. The writing is much better, the story more intricate/interesting and the narrators a better fit for the story. I might give Book 2 in the series a chance after reading this whereas had I not read it, I would not have.

Wonderful story, poor female narration

I loved the story itself, however, the recording of the female narration sometimes sounded tinny or echoey. I wouldn’t discourage the audiobook based on that alone because I was able to ignore it for the most part. The male narration was absolutely perfect. I did listen to the first 3 books before I listened to this prequel so that may have some effect on my positive opinion of this book but overall, it’s definitely worth the credit/buy.

Reading order

Definitely recommend reading this .5 book in between books 1 and 2. I guess it would be fine to read before book 1 but I really enjoyed the aha moments that came from having already read book 1 in the series when I read this one
