Summary

Four blood-sucking princes. A beautiful anarchist. One dangerous mistake.

To the vampires who dominate each quadrant of the Lydian Dynasty, I'm only known as "Blackbird" - a masked vigilante who, at 19, is already public enemy number one. 

To what's left of humanity, I've been called a superhero, a title I neither welcome nor deserve. My only objective is to offer the enslaved what was stolen from us.... Freedom. 

However, a failed plan lands me in the last place I imagined, at the mercy of all four Dynasty princes - Julian, Levi, Roman, and Silas. They're monsters, each with a heart rumored to be as cold as his icy skin. And what's worse, thanks to the slip-up, my fate is suddenly theirs to decide. 

It's up to them whether I'll swing from the gallows, and I've given them every reason to sentence me to such a fate. Yet, I felt something unexplainable when our paths first crossed. Something that gives me hope. 

We should be one another's worst nightmare. Only, I'm beginning to wonder if, somehow...these four princes might be my saving grace. 

Contains mature themes.

Good story, partly awful narration though, sadly.

Half way through and it’s a good story but the male narration is really awful. I’m sticking with because I’m in the story now, but I’m not sure who allowed the guy’s narration. The accents are just dire, so you need to see or should I say hear past it. It’s hard but I’m trying! Storyline is good though and the female narration is ok.

1.2x speed needed.

Good story, but bad narration. Listened to 1.2x speed, to make it bearable. The female narrator is ok, male sounds half asleep.

Great start!

I love the story so different to the norm. My only concern is the male narration which is not good at all but the story is so I’m putting up with it. The female performance is great.

Liked the story

I listened to this mainly because it was included and free,. Surprised that I enjoyed the story more than I expected. the narrators, especially the males terrible British accent really put me off.

Unfortunately, for me, story itself not quite interesting enough to spend money on buying the rest of the series. would consider if they were in the sale though.

interesting story - I want to listen to the next

Enjoyable listen and interesting story, could see the ending coming but was worth the time I spent and I want to carry on with the series - not something I've wanted to do for a few other series I've started recently! I found the male voice for the main character a bit annoying / too audio tuned but the other male character voices were good. I ended up listening on 1.5x which worked best for me!

Male narration ruined it

It actually seems to be a good story, female narrator do a fine job... Sadly the male narration cadence and modulation is not... I simply couldn't hold the smallest attention to his chapters and had to give up..
