About this listen
Devon Chastain has always been angry. He burns with it, is consumed by it, lashing out at friend and foe alike, and secures his reputation as a difficult noble son for all to see. Now that his family has betrayed the crown, Devon is a mess of emotion he can’t control, and he finds himself discovered by none other than Sebastien d’Hiver, the mad duke who, rumor says, once killed his entire family and sold his soul to a demon.
He will find, soon enough, that only the last half of the rumor is true. Sebastien d’Hiver is a man given over to the dark that is all he or his demon has ever known, and it isn’t until he drags Devon to the eerie country manor he calls home that he realizes that there’s more to life than pain. Soon, all three of them, noble, traitor, and demon alike, will find in each other the light they’ve all been missing.

Overall: 4.5 stars, rounding down
I'm rounding down because I still get tripped over how de Valois and d’Hiver are pronounced.
Devon and Sebastian's story is one of my favorites in the series. The way the authors redeem Devon, the hows and whys he was how he was, my heart broke for him. And the best thing was how those two saved each other in a truly subtle, romantic ways that was beautiful to see.
As with the first book, Kris Antham delivers a very skilled narration with a lot of different voices and nuances, even when the children ones were too high pitched and a bit difficult to understand, especially when it came to Sariel's voice. Still though the narration lacks the ability to immerse me in the story's atmosphere.
Still no doubt I'll be revisiting this since it's one of my favorites in the series.
