About this listen

Can the Winter King truly love? Or am I doomed to follow his past queens to the grave?

I'm a shadow huntress in dire need of revenge. When a Fae prince asks me to participate in the Yule pageant and spy on the Winter King, I rise to the occasion.

He tells me I'm a ringer for the dead queen, and that I don't have to win the pageant or get married in the end.

He forgot to mention I'd lose everything in the meantime—including my heart.

My kingdom needs a queen, and so I marry.

Every year I marry and suffer.

Every year, I lose her all over again.

This endless curse is meant to punish me for what I've done, with no hope of release. As Winter King, death shall never come for me.

Until the ghost of my first love shows up on my doorstep.

This novel is a full-length romantasy and is part of an interconnected series with a story arc spanning multiple books. Each book features a different romance and a new couple. Since it's closely connected and contains spoilers for book one, it is recommended to listen to A Deal with the Shadow King first.

A dangerous competition sets the stage for this enemies-to-lovers, fated mates romance. Steamy. For mature listeners.

I enjoyed this book much more than the first one, I thought the story was better and I liked the female narrator a lot more than the female narrator in the first book, Anthony Palmini is excellent as always.

Great Narrators and Good Story

This book picks up right after the ending of “A Deal with the Shadow King” and although some are saying that this book is a stand alone, I would disagree and recommend they read in order of the series, as some of the plot wont make any sense without reading the first book.

The book focuses on Lori, a shadow huntress who has been badly wounded and experiencing trauma after an attack on the Shadow Court. She agrees to leave the Shadow Court with Seth to compete in the Winter Court’s Yule Pageant. Lori looks extremely similar to the Winter King’s (Elio) first wife and as Lori participates in the pageant challenges, she catches the Winter Kings attention.

The story is captivating and I binged this in 2 days. I just couldn’t get enough of the magical world, learning more about the magic system, the characters, the drama, the love and spice. It was all just so good and would recommend this series to any romantacy fans.

The narrators did a fantastic job of bringing the story to life and I am always beguiled by Anthony Palmini’s voice.

Brilliant story
