About this listen

Audible presents the start of a thrilling new enemies to lovers, sapphic romantasy trilogy, for fans of Sarah J Maas, Leigh Bardugo and Rebecca Yarros, performed by Jessie Mei Li (SHADOW AND BONE) and Freya Mavor (INDUSTRY)

In the kingdom of Eynhallow, Princess Ythsie is preparing to choose a husband, in order to secure the kingdom’s future. Everything changes when Stroma, a skilled fighter from a remote village, becomes her new bodyguard. As mysterious deaths rock the palace, Ythsie and Stroma uncover a web of ancient magic and deadly court intrigue. The princess discovers she has a rare and dangerous gift - the ability to communicate with the Deathless, Eynhallow's cursed undead army.

Amidst the chaos, rivalry blossoms into romance between the princess and her loyal squire. With enemies closing in and the fate of the kingdom at stake, Ythsie and Stroma must navigate treacherous alliances, their growing feelings for each other, and their own destinies. How far will they go to protect their love and save their homeland?

Ive got 2 hours left to listen of this story but I can honestly say right now that its the best story Ive listened to for some months. I really cant wait until the next book comes out. This is a rare find and one of the few I'll no doubt go back to listen to again in the future.

Deathbound drew me in with the stunning worldbuilding and strong characters and kept me hooked with the political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and the mysterious forces looming in Eynhallow. A must read for those who like their fantasy a little dark...and deadly!

Darkly beautiful, fast-paced, and full of intrigue

Immediately drawn in to both characters, well developed story, but I did skip all the lovemaking scenes as unnecessary details. Left wanting more!

Gripping story

I really enjoyed this listen and got through the whole thing in a matter of days.

In terms of the story, there are a couple of places where it feels a little formulaic, but overall it's good. Definitely enjoyable and interesting.

A great story performed well
