Publisher's summary
An instant New York Times best seller.
This program includes a bonus interview with the author.
Set in a darkly glamorous world, New York Times best-selling author Roshani Chokshi's The Gilded Wolves is full of mystery, decadence, and dangerous but thrilling adventure.
Paris, 1889: The world is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. In this city, no one keeps tabs on secrets better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. But when the all-powerful society the Order of Babel seeks him out for help, Séverin is offered a treasure he never imagined: his true inheritance.
To find the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin will need help from a band of experts: an engineer with a debt to pay; a historian who can't yet go home; a dancer with a sinister past; and a brother in all but blood who might care too much. Together, they'll have to use their wits and knowledge to hunt the artifact through the dark and glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the world, but only if they can stay alive.
Praise for The Gilded Wolves:
"What’s better than Paris? Nothing. Except, that is, for Roshani Chokshi’s magical Belle Epoque Paris, where a crew of brilliant, tricksy, dispossessed young people are fighting personal demons and powerful foes to carve out their place in the world. This is a book to swan dive into, swim around in, luxuriate in.” (Laini Taylor, New York Times best-selling author of Strange the Dreamer)
"A masterpiece of imagination. Dazzling, sharp, and as dangerous as a freshly polished sword, The Gilded Wolves is a brilliant kaleidoscope of decadent world building, seductive magic, and utterly immersive storytelling." (Stephanie Garber, New York Times best-selling author of Caraval)

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse.

But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?

It’s a secret training ground for new Musketeers.

I've listened to this book 3 times and it's truly amazing! I love how we explore into magical lore, heists and great characters. Plus I think the narrators do a great job at the various accents.

I'm in the minority coz I liked the narration
I've read the other reviews and I know plenty of people who struggled with the narration but I personally thought they were okay. Not the best but okay. The only area where I struggled is that it's hard to differentiate the voices for the two female protagonist. Zofia is Russian and Laila is of Indian descent but the female narrator didn't really try to differentiate their voices or accents and it made it confusing.

Listen to the Sample!
I didn't listen to the sample before buying, and regret it. The male narrator has a lovely voice for dialogue, but his narrative voice is firm and mechanical. I couldn’t do it and DNF. (Overall and Story set at 3 as a rating is required)

I thought you all were exaggerating.
I just finished listening to another series of Chokshi's (the Pandava novels) and was excited to check out other works of hers. The description for The Gilded Wolves intrigued me. I love Fantasy Adventure and I'm also a fan of Historical Fiction, so I figured this novel would be perfect for me-- and you know, it probably is! But I can't say for sure until I read the book myself, because my god, there's no way I am letting this narrator read it for me.
When I first read the reviews that were already here, I wanted to believe that people were being harsher than they needed to be with the male narrator. I've picked up movies and novels with negative reviews before that I wound up loving anyway, and knowing that there were two narrators for this book, I wondered if it was just a matter of one especially talented narrator being paired with a relatively novice one. In short; I was determined to give The Gilded Wolves the benefit of the doubt.
I was wrong.
If you've ever heard Male Siri, this guy is... just a little worse. His delivery is so dry, so robotic, so painful and so willfully unnatural at times that his performance almost felt spiteful, like some sort of petty underhanded vengeance on people who felt like listening to a good story instead of reading it themselves. If his goal was to make me regret buying this novel, he succeeded. I couldn't finish Chapter 1 even though I was interested in the characters and the worldbuilding being presented.
I love Audible because it's allowed me to keep up with books that interest me even with a hectic work/school schedule, so this was genuinely disappointing. My plan is to buy a physical copy of the book sometime and wait until I'm on break to give it a read. I intend to give The Gilded Wolves the chance it deserves.

The Male Narration was horrible
The other reviews were right - the male narrator’s work on the prose was horrendous. He sounded like a bizarre automaton while reading the prose but completely fine for dialogue. I just did not understand.
Otherwise I enjoyed the story and the female narrator. I do wish they had figured out a way to give Laila an Indian accent (she had been in Paris for 2 years so a French accent didn’t make sense), and at the very least learn how to pronounce the Hindi and Tamil words.

Intricate and lush; great POC, queer, autistic rep
I really enjoyed this. The beginning was hard to get into, and I ended up only half listening for the first few chapters and then going back to the beginning and starting over once I was hooked. I love all of the characters, the way they all have sharp broken edges and quirks and weird ways of dealing with life and the world -- and especially the way they all understand that and work to understand and make each other comfortable. The stargazing (meeting) room with its five very different chairs underscores that in a visual way that I find particularly satisfying. Also, almost all of the characters are POC (and one is Jewish), which makes life just that little bit more difficult for them in Paris of 1889. I like how Severin's 7 foster fathers are referred to and exemplify the seven deadly sins. I love the world, with its richness and magic, and the way the Order's plundering artifacts from other countries is discussed. I love how Severin is a thief with morals, the pull between him and the mysterious Laila and the way they both fight it, the way Enrique is clearly bisexual, the way Zofia is clearly autistic and the only place she feels comfortable is when she's with her friends... It's all so very satisfying. The accents of the audiobook narrators also helped make the rich lushness of Paris come to life. And of course the magic is strange and wonderful, with the forged creatures and objects and the mysterious Babel Fragment. I can't wait for more!

Indian. International. Incredible.
Wow! Here’s a great example of a story I would’ve read long, long a go if it had a most relatable title and illustrative cover!
⚖️ Plot: This was fascinating. So many mythologies twisted into a plot that was part Cassandra Clare and part Leigh Bardugo for me. A great heist with beautiful characters that truly intrigued me.
🗺 World: I love this type of worlds. So many magical names of places and lovely description. Since it wasn’t too far off from our day and time, I was able to easily picture the settings in my mind. I loved the history and mathematics that were seamlessly integrated as well.
💑 Characters: Sverin was a slightly more posh and a little more broken Kaz for me. And I adore Kaz! Laila was absolutely gorgeous! This is the untouchable quality of an own voice book. You get the variety and intricacies of characters without the bland stereotypes we find in so many. Rushing off to the newly released book 2!

Amazing, captivating, and needed!
This book will steal your heart, break it, and then forge it back together with magic. The characters will capture you in a maze of interest, curiosity, humor, and the need to protect. An unforgettable read!
