About this listen
The youngest son of a despised king, thrust upon a throne he never wanted, Desmond nevertheless tried to be a good monarch to Benta. Despite his efforts, the rebels were discontent with him, the alliance with the Harken Empire have taken control, and Desmond's private guards are either dead or turned traitor. On the verge of being executed, Desmond gets an unexpected rescue from Harken in the form of the fearsome Penance Gate mercenaries and the beautiful, brutal man who leads them.
Beneath the shining edifice of every empire is a foundation of violence and pain, and Chass has always done his duty to Harken by being the bastard who endures and metes out both. He is used to being hated, and does not deny he deserves it. But in the aftermath of rescuing the enchanting, compelling Desmond, he wishes more than ever that he could be the noble hero just once, instead of the monster good only for spreading terror.

Story
Maksim Lenkov is certain he’s not a good man. His father isn’t, and since Maks is his second in command, then certainly, he’s just as evil. The list of sins is long, and there’s no getting around that. What’s messing him up is that despite all that, in the midst of life and death, his only friend tells him he’s been a blessing, law enforcement is treating him like he prevented more bloodshed than he caused, and everyone is concerned with doing right by him. Why? And how is Maks supposed to figure out who he is when everything he thought he knew is suddenly turned upside down?

Story
When the light-magic users known as Casters took everything from me, I vowed to make them pay. Little did I know the perfect opportunity would show up in the form of a sweet Caster the moment I took his arrow to the heart…literally. Bastian knows that I’m made of dark magic, the very thing he’s been taught to destroy. But instead of turning away from me, he takes a chance on me, leading me behind the walls of the group out to kill me.

Story
All Rath wants is a quiet, peaceful life. Unfortunately, his father brings him too much trouble - and too many debts to pay - for that to ever be possible. When the local crime lord drags Rath out of bed and tells him he has three days to pay his father's latest debt, Rath doesn't know what to do. There's no way to come up with so much money in so little time. Then a friend poses an idea just ridiculous enough to work: enter the Tournament of Losers, where every 75 years, peasants compete for the chance to marry into the noble and royal houses.

A psychic without an anchor. A student in trouble. A shooter on the loose.I’m Jonathan Bane, a licensed psychic who consults for the police. I routinely help the police put the bad guys away and, for that reason, the criminal world doesn’t like me much. People like to take a swing at me, or go stabbity, or try for a gun. It makes for interesting times. My psychic ability prevents me from handling anything electronic—and I do mean ANYTHING, I fry it in seconds—so calling for help isn’t always a possibility.

He’s rude, only cares about himself and his casino, and did I mention he doesn’t know a single thing about video games? Okay, okay. Maybe that’s not enough of a reason to watch him dash headlong into danger while I kick back and enjoy the show.

Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free. It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least? The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again.

At last!
I've read the entire Tales of the High Court series several times, and I've listened to the audio books even more. So I've been waiting anxiously and eagerly for this fifth book. It is wonderful! On the surface, Chaz and Desmond seem an unlikely couple, but they are both truly survivors and have endured roles in life and situations they had no choice in. The story is intense and filled with hardship, but the end brings the hoped-for HEA. I enjoyed Michael Stellman's narration -- I think he does a great job. I was relieved that he narrated this last book. When the narrator changes in the middle of a series, I often find it a little jarring. I highly recommend this series and this book.

A beautiful conclusion to the series
Michael Stellman has done well voicing the stories of the high court. With this book family ties are restored through hard work.
Cw: recovery of the victim of abuse and history of off page abuse.

Over the moon
Love the story line and the way the characters was able build themselves back up through their faith.
It show so many ways that your chosen family will always be there for you and blood is just that.
Please keep up the great work!

My favorite in the series
My only complaint is that the narrator changed the pronunciation of some character names and places. In the fifth book. That, and mispronunciation, are my biggest pet peeves with audio books. My brain has a little spasm every time.

Queer Fantasy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️
Loved this entire series. The representation was great and the story was full of political intrigue.

Great addition to the High Court series
Another adventure much enjoyed. Michael Stellmam is one of my favorite narrators, and it was so nice to revisit the characters from previous stories. It was a very satisfying conclusion with a well-written recovery of a character who had been deemed villainous previously. It is so sad but necessary at times to know both sides of a story.

Wonderful addition to the series.
I love this series. I always enjoy how the author creates the world's. And is able to include all these wonderful characters and places.
Once again, Michael did a fantastic job with the narration.

The redemption one
This is the one with Aron’s evil brother Chaz, who is on a decades long journey of redemption, and the king of Benta. It is very exciting and sweet. There are dogs!
