About this listen

“I’m a disciplined man, Jane. I can stay here for as long as you need before the lesson sinks in that you don’t run from me while in my charge." -- Soren.

He's a Mercenary with powers that allow him feel the hearts/desires/fears of others.
She's his target, and must guard her identity at all costs.

My village is aflame, and a deadly legend becomes my captor.

I’m to appear before the most elite faction of mercenaries and warlords, commanded to answer for a crime they refuse to explain. Even if my only guess for why they want me is wrong, they cannot have me. I’ve sworn to never return to Skull’s Row, home to thieves and killers; the graveyard of my childhood.

He plans to unbury every memory until my soul is stripped bare: Soren, my captor, is strangely fascinated by me. By what I hide. Of the scars I have.

I’m unwillingly drawn to him. To his brutality. He harbors the same viciousness that coats my veins. He even seems persistent in taking me for himself…

He’ll either be my reckoning, or my undoing.

This Dark Fantasy Romance is a Duet full of foul language, sensual scenes, and improper bastards.

DUAL POV – his/her
Duet with a Guaranteed HEA

Content Warning 18+:
This series contains explicit scenes (3.5 chili peppers), depictions of war, battle violence, abduction, graphic depiction of violence, drugging, and overall a very crude world.

Duet Narration and Amazing Story!!!

The story itself is so different from all the other romantasy books out there and it has actually made me appreciate the style and tropes it has in it. The banter is great, the filthy language that fits the situation and not just for shock value is perfect, and the intimate scenes are *chef's kiss* There are some scenes with gory bits and details, but it's not harped on so it wokrs for the story.

THAT CLIFFHANGER ENDING THOUGH!!

I can hardly wait until the next book is released as I can tell this series is going to be super good!

The duet narration and different POV is also *chef's kiss* Anthony Palmini is one of my all time favorite narrators and Jacci Prior also does a great job of doing different male and female voices respectively that it just adds a whole other level to this book.

10000/10 would recommend!

Favorite fantasy

Phenomenal. I absolutely love this story and the characters in it. Soren is another MMC that I would love to come to life and I’m pretty sure anyone who likes dark fantasy is going to agree with me 100% it’s a must read!! Book 2 can’t come soon enough 😍

Wait… what?

This was… amazing. Great plot that exists outside of the romance between the two main characters. World building could’ve been a bit better and detailed but I still fell completely in love. My only disappointment is that the next book release is going to take forever.

I loved it

I loved the narrators and it was a really good story line I’m excited for the next one cause it kinda ends on a cliffhanger but it was amazing all the same

Success of any book is in the voice acting!

Anthony Palmini is the best voice actor and brings this story to a believability that leaves you wanting more! I have never been disappointed in his ability to bring a character to life!

One of My Favorites of 2024

Also, if you haven't listened to the audiobook. You are missing out.  I love this audiobook. Both Jacci Prior and Anthony Palmini delivered stunning performances as Jane and Soren. Honestly, I think they might have ruined me a little bit for other audiobooks. Jacci's feisty and fierce tone blended perfectly with Anthony's gritty and raw narration of Soren's devil may care attitude. I will legit listen to this duo read me a restaurant menu. They are that entertaining. Their voices paired with the ambient background noises, which added to so many scenes and made this a fun read.

As for the book itself, I loved the dark and gritty world that Charlotte Mallory delivered. I was actually stalling finishing this one because I did not want it to end (book 2 isn't out yet and I need it). If you aren't snagging this audio, you are truly missing out.

CHEF'S KISS!!

so this book was a THRILL!!! there's something about a dangerous man that will move mountains and take on armies to protect the one he loves that is just so incredibly sexy!!

and can i just say that anthony palmini needs to be signed to narrate EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK. from here on out cause *fans face from heat* THERE IS NOBODY BETTER!!

i will say that i was a little disappointed that the book ends on a cliffhanger since it states that in the author's note at the beginning but i guess the happy ending happens *eventually*....lol, SUCH A TEASE!!

still though, fantastic STEAMY book. can't wait for book two!!

Meh

This felt like a waste of time. Most of the book is about Jane keeping her secret but then her secret is revealed but she continues to keep it and make her life more difficult for no reason other than she feels she must. Lukewarm romance. Won’t be continuing.
