About this listen

A curse. A hidden identity. A dangerous love.

Ten-year-old Persinette Basile was forced to flee the palace of Gaule for her life. Now at 18, she must find a way to return in order to obey a curse on her family line.

The prince won't know who she is. Not anymore. But she knows him and what he will do if he discovers her true name. Made to fight for her life to earn her place, she vows to find a way to break the curse no matter the cost.

To. The. Death.

The words describing the tournament turn Prince Alexandre Durand's blood to ice. The last warrior standing will win a spot at his side.

As he's thrust onto the throne, forbidden magic, dangerous betrayals, and a complicated love could tear his reign apart.

When the secrets begin to unravel, will Alex stay true to the laws and traditions of Gaule or will he give it all up for a woman who deceived him?

Not bad

When I find a really great book 1 in a series, I check for the other books and add the next immediately. This one, not so much.

Great book, short audio / value / money

If you have read the Lochlan treaty or feud you will like this book as well. Interesting storyline and good character development.
I would recommend the kindle read, but the audio book was too short for the price you pay for it. I hope they bundle the four books and then give out the audio, because otherwise it’s really expensive to listen to the full series.

Unique retelling

The narrator was great! I enjoyed her voice and the way she was able to capture the characters.
It was not a retelling of Repunzel that i expected but was still entrancing and captivating all the same. Cannot wait to see what happens next!

Absolutely wonderful

Love!! The end is a cliffhanger but it’s worth every single second. I’m going to buy the second book now!

So far, I like it...

So far I'm impressed. It moves at a steady pace. There aren't three paragraphs detailing one meal, which I appreciate. The characters are enchanting, and the storyline is keeping me intrigued. Perfect cliffhanger to keep you reading. Onto the next book!

Lacks Complexity & Interest

After listening to the Lochlann Fueds series (which was so good I read it again immediately after) I was hoping this series would feel the same. But I found both the story & its characters to be juvenile & predictable.

I felt like a lot of the choices the characters made didn’t really make sense. The FMC claims she’s been trained all her life, but on multiple occasions lacked total comment sense. It’s like her plan was to become the princes protector and then once she does, she has no flipping clue what to do. We have a castle full of royals yet nobody knows how to play political games or strategize for war. I just found myself shaking my head over all the foolishness.

I got about 2/3 of the way through before I just lost all interest. I think if I read it, I would’ve liked it more because the NARRATOR WAS TERRIBLE. Her narration reminded me of the audio accompaniment to the harassment training video I just had to watch for corporate. There was a complete lack of emotion for the majority. And then when she did emote, it just sounded like bad acting, so stiff & fake.

It’s a pass for me. Not interested in continuing in any of this writer’s works.

Good story

This was a good story. I really like the paranormal romances. But I would not say that this was a twist on rapunzel. Infact they really barely mention it and it has no impact on the story. Overall though good book.
