About this listen

Lord Tristram Radcliffe has a secret - he is the only dragon at the king’s court in Llangard. It’s a secret he’s kept from the knights he’s fought beside, from the ladies who bat their lashes at him, and from his closest companion, Prince Reynold. If it were to get out, he’d be banished to the Mawrcraig Mountains along with the rest of his kind, but the kingdom of men is the only one he’s ever known, and his heart lives in the stone halls of those who’d count him an enemy.

When the old king dies and Prince Reynold takes the throne, two visitors from the north throw Tristram into the middle of the ancient conflict between dragons and men. They put him on a collision course with the king’s shadow, Bet Kyston, a dangerous assassin who may want him dead or may want more of Tristram that he’d ever thought to give.

With the eyes of dragons upon him and a threat from the north creeping toward the home he loves, Tristram must weigh his allegiances before his dual legacies tear him apart.

This book has it all.
Amazing world building, political intrigue, magical beings, mystery and suspense, divided loyalties and betrayals.
All told from multiple viewpoints that are so brilliantly interwoven you can tell where one ends and another begins.
The narrators have done a bang up job of bringing this vivid and vibrant tale to life..

Intriguing and full of complexities

Don't let the six...seven? POVs put you off this book. It's fantasy with humans and dragons, history and animosity between the two factions. Into this we have the hero of our story, Tris, half-human half-dragon and friend and confidant to the new king. There is jousting, murder, an elven ninja, courting, unrequited (or is it) attraction, a slow burn relationship, oh, and magic. And did I mention dragons. This is only book one and while it ends at a suitable point in the arc it is in no way the end of the story. And the relationship, while the attraction has been acted upon, is not going forward, although the heat and banter is still there.
I'm not used to dual narrator books but I think the female povs in this book (3) required a female narrator. I love anything Greg narrates and the female narrator did a great job too.

Another excellent audio & the start of a new serie

Listened to the audiobook and wow, mind blown.
It's like a Game of Thrones where one's sexuality doesn't matter but the machinations of dragons and deranged kings do.

Lord Tristram Radcliffe, the cousin of the new king, Reynold, has a secret. He's half dragon in a country that despises dragons. He knows if his secret is ever found out he will be banished - or worse. But the new king, his cousin, is becoming more and more unhinged and Tristram will do everything in his power to protect the king's son and the king's sister - but at what cost?

Bet Kyston is the King's shadow - Reynold's most trusted assassin. He too has a secret - a secret attraction to Tristram. A secret he keeps close to his vest because he's the king's dirty not-so-secret secret and Tristram is all that is good and noble and golden.

There are power plays for the throne, and another dragon in the throne room vying for the king's attention. But secrets have a way of coming out, and madness knows no friend or family member. Lines are drawn - what way will Bet Kyston go - loyalty to the king he owes everything too, despite knowing the king is mad, or will he choose a truly noble man with a noble cause?

The audible book by Lessa Lamb and Greg Boudreaux was fantastically narrated and kept me completely captivated. Can't wait for their reading of book 2!

It's like a a M/M Game of Thrones

I love books about dragons, magic and times of old and this story has it In spades!
What a great start to what appears to be a compelling series, which had me listening to this audiobook book in one sitting.
It took a little while getting into as it has 7, yes 7 POV! So until you get used to the characters names it helped me to look at the chapters as they are named.
The plot is interesting, the world building intricate and the characters well rounded.
The attraction between Bet and Tris is evident but the relationship is more complex and I’m looking forward to seeing it develop further in the next book.
I really liked the way this book had some positive strong female characters as well, which are main characters in their own right.
I definitely will be looking forward to the second book in the series.
Both narrators did an excellent job narrating.

I cannot get over how absolutely blown away I was by this story. It’s romance light, but not absent, there’s a nice slow burn hate and lust filled attraction that pulled me in and delivered on promises with a fair amount of heat. But even without that, I think I would’ve loved this one for the amazing storytelling and wonderful world building alone. There’s a lot of POVs, and while I thought I would hate it, it honestly just made me that more into it. Both narrators did a spectacular job, with such a large cast of characters, it takes great skills to do so many unique voices and each narrator did it masterfully.

One of my new favorite series!
