They stole his crown. So, he stole their daughter…

For years, Erik, the scarred king of the Ever Kingdom, has thought of nothing but vengeance against the man who killed his father and trapped him beneath the waves, making him a prisoner in his own realm.

Until his enemy's daughter unintentionally breaks the chains on the Ever, and Erik makes her the unwitting pawn in his vicious game of revenge.

She's innocent. He's vicious. He will take back what he lost, no matter the price. Unless she steals his heart first.

Welcome to the passionate world of the Ever Kingdom, where pirates, sirens, and fae collide with Vikings in a dark fantasy romance between a villain and the innocent princess who holds his heart.

This book ends on a cliffhanger. This series is set in the same world as the bestselling Broken Kingdoms series but can be listened to independently.

Good story, captivating particularly during the second half. But the narration spoilt it for me, I considered giving up and reading instead but stuck with it for some reason. The female narrators voice was just not good and when she did a male impression they sounded like they lacked any and all brain cells.
The male narrators voice was better but a very thick London accent, think a gravelly Ross kemp

Good story

Very enjoyable story for a romantasy lover. Good dialogue, good tropes etc. Not a masterpiece.
The male narrator is completely miscast and so wrong for this. Overexaggerated and sounds 60+, very heavy cockney accent which is just not sexy and reads Livias line like most male narrators: making a meek, whiny voice making her sound like an idiot. The female narrator was alright but again it’s just so very exaggerated. Really struggling to continue listening.

Great story but miscast

This is the first dark fantasy romance I've read/listened too and it was unexpectedly great! Some moments where I rolled my eyes with the romance but it was few and far between.

Just finished it and holy sh*t! It left on 2 cliffhangers! Will definitely be listening to The 2nd book at some point.

Loved Will Thornes voice reading The Serpent chapters.

Unexpectedly loved it!

While Will Thorne is actually British, Lucy Rivers so obviously is not, that it was excruciating listening to her try to sound like an American’s idea of a Royal. The story was excellent and had all the fae torture and violence you would expect from this genre as well as all of the great steam and banter. The story got curiously convoluted right toward the end. The side characters were well written as were the main characters. The worlds were very interesting and described well. It’s just the cod accent and the curious chirpy inflection that made the female voice truly annoying. Unfortunately very few Americans can convince as Brits so why bother? Will Thorne sounded dark and deep and perfect (even though he does have an inflection he seems to like to use which you have to enjoy.) The various voices, including a weird Cockney, read by Lucy Rivers distracted from the content, so I read as much as I could as a palate cleanser.
I may read book two but I will not be listening to it.

Better Read than Listened to
