About this listen

In the beginning, there was darkness.

Before he met Callie, before he became the Bargainer, there was Desmond Flynn, the bastard son of a scribe. A boy born to a weak mother, cursed with little magic, and destined to marry a slave. But fate had something else in mind.

Till darkness dies.

From the barren caves of Arestys to the palace of Somnia to the streets of earth, this is how Desmond Flynn, a fairy who began with nothing, became the Emperor of Evening Stars.

This is a novella told from Desmond Flynn’s perspective.

I love Desmond

I loved reading something from Desmond's perspective.
A lot of authors have this thing that I hate. And it's basically rewriting the entire series exactly how it happened, just taking the female name out and inserting the make name. (I'm only exaggerating a little).
This book does not do that, and it deserves double triple stars just for that. It is a unique book in addition to Des and Callie's time together.
It was interesting to read about his childhood. We knew he and his mother escaped his father and that he was with a band of rebels. But reading more into that brought his perspective on why he does things into light. And when he first sees Callie, his feels? And as he gets to know her? We already know what she's thinking, and we thought he was all aloof over there in the corner. Nay nay.
I loved it. I loved the narrator for the audio. He was new to me and he was fab.
Cannot wait to dive into the finale now!!

Great addition to the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting Des' POV through this novella! It was also really nice to get an insight into his past and how he came to be ultimately. The narrator did a great job and was exactly how I wouldve imagined Des' voice. This was a really fun addition to the series.

Great Novella of Desmond!

What a great backstory for Desmond; I very much enjoyed his narrative and learning more about his character.

Must read! (& I don’t usually go for the alternate view of retelling stories!)

I’m not typically a fan of books that rehash the same story from another characters point of view but this one is the exception! I devoured this book and it definitely gives a better understanding of the Bargainer and how he views the Callie! I’m obsessed

Good story

Too much sex scene descriptions. I prefer to have my imagination fill in the gaps, rather than having everything explicitly described.

Wow

What a perspective. I didn’t know this book was from another perspective but was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed hearing the story from the other side. Can’t wait for the next book!

The Bargainer POV Novella

Changes in POV isn’t loved by everyone, but I do like to see what was going on in the mind of the love interest and what they did while the protagonist was away from them. This filled in some holes from the story since Des hasn’t told Callie all his secrets yet. Knowing for centuries he had a human mate but not when he would meet her seemed torturing and his resistance and patience once he met her to not scare her away admirable. I do love the soft side of morally grey characters when it comes to the people they treasure most.

This entire series should be from Desmond's POV after this book.

This entire novella is from Desmond's POV. It was night and day difference compared to the second book. That one was a struggle. This was beautifully performed and I would have been more into book 2 if it was solely from his POV.
