About this listen

A spellbinding dark dystopian fantasy trilogy from hugely popular dark romance author Nicci Harris, where young Aster is sworn to be a servant to the ruthless half-human King Rome, but when the king becomes obsessed with this ordinary girl, it could lead to war.

Young Aster is no different. If selected, she will be the King’s Silk Girl. A common human bred to adore and pleasure him, and to provide the Cradle with healthy babies for the Trade.

Adore. Pleasure. Provide.
That is her meaningful purpose.

But King Rome is more monster than man. As the heir of the genetically enhanced breed, he was designed to survive and rule this harsh new world. Through fear. Through intimidation. Rome has a heart as black as his giant pet eagle’s wings and a singular obsession—to reign.

That stands until one day Aster puts her tiny human hand in his...

Now she occupies his mind...

But the Trade upholds that love is not a virtue, and instead, a weakness. Nothing could be more dangerous to the regime than having its merciless king obsessed with a common girl born for Silk.

It’s ok. Would I listen again no. Would I read the second book no. I hate to say it but it just felt dull. There’s good bits don’t get me wrong but they are few and far between. The fmc is just annoying. I think I’d of rated it a little higher if it was a true duel narration again don’t understand when you have both male and female narrators why aren’t you making the most of it and have the correct gender reading the correct gender. The male narrators voice is very frog in the throat sounding which is put on to make his female voice sound more feminine and it ruins it.

It’s ok.

I had the opportunity to read this books last year… and to my utter shock— I loved it. As always I go into a read totally expecting a good read … and this story delivered 🙌🏼

This fantasy story is like a box of chocolates, you either going to devour it ( in my case: I gobbled it up) or find this dystopian story a total miss. However, it safe to say, the story might not be to another’s taste, but the writing and plot was great. The potential for Nicci Harris is huge going forward.

I did read & listen to book two, which was as book one, flowing beautifully and a continuation of the series in this dystopian world with a new standalone sexy romantasy and now I’m looking forward to the third instalment.

Enjoy xoxo

Unique story

Man i love Nicci Harris writing. She has this way of creating characters that draw you in completely & put you in your feelings. This is dark romance with chef's kiss spice. Rome the mmc's will leave you panting with every scene & every word he utters & Sean Masters' voice ❤️!! my goodness 🥵🥵, he brought Rome to life so beautifully. CJ Bloom's voice was equally amazing as Aster.
Aster was such a beautiful human,loveable, strong & so unapologetically herself. She stood up to the king & had a kind heart nowonder Rome could not resist her.she had all the qualities of a strong feminine woman, the perfect Queen & Rome was every bit as strong as he was loving, possessive & protective. The man was Jealous 😍, he was jealous of his own eagle getting attention from her & he went crazy when Aster gave flowers to his brother & council I ate that shit up . As hilarious as it was it warmed my heart seeing this Giant so possessive and so inlove. I loved this story and my i fell in love with Tuscany & can't wait for her story with Kong, I just know their story will be an emotional one.

pure perfection, loved it.
