About this listen
In this gilded, gothic, and romantic new epic fantasy series from New York Times-bestselling author Hannah Whitten, a young woman's secret power to raise the dead plunges her into the dangerous world of the Sainted King's royal court.
Lore has been living by her wits since she was a child, running poisons for the cartel that took her in, avoiding the attention of the law, and keeping her illicit affinity for death magic a secret.
When a job goes wrong and Lore is captured by the Sainted King's warrior-monks, she expects death. But King August has a different plan. Entire villages on the outskirts of the country have been dying overnight, seemingly at random. Lore can either use her magic to find out what's happening - or face the pyre.
Thrust into a lavish court where no one can be believed and even fewer can be trusted, Lore must navigate an intricate web of politics, religion, and forbidden romance and solve the King's mystery. A mystery more dangerous and twisted than Lore can even imagine.
Critic Reviews
"Hannah Whitten is my new favourite obsession." (Jodi Picoult, New York Times-bestselling author)
"The Foxglove King is a delicious fantasy. Sinister, deadly and so seductive you won't be able to tear yourself away from this dark gem of a book." (Stephanie Garber, Sunday Times-bestselling author of Caraval)
"The Foxglove King is beautifully written, lushly cinematic, unsettling, mysterious - an unputdownable story of humans and gods. Hannah Whitten has built a world that is dark, fascinating, romantic and disturbing." (Ali Hazelwood, New York Times-bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis)

I really liked the concept
I enjoyed this book. I liked that it was quite dark and morbid at times. I am enjoying friendships/ romances that are forming. I am looking forward to learning more as the story continues.

4.5 * Wonderful Magical Gothic Romantasy
Okay that ending absolutely stunned me. I binged this audiobook on my drives to work and I was impressed.
Morally Grey Princes, Magic, badass Guards. I fell in love with each of the characters and their personalities.
Personally, I enjoyed the conflict between the characters as it helped give them some depth.
The world building got better as the book went on but It did still seem a little clunky in places like the author was just throwing description at the reader.
But overall, this was a great read, and I am looking forward to the next book!

Can't wait for Book 2
This book pulled me in from the first page and kept me until the very last. Loved the world building and the angst. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Slowwwww
The concept is cool but its let down by badly written characters and very slow plot progression. You’ll work out plot points hundreds of pages before the characters figure it out, and have to wait for them to catch up. The characters are very 2D with very little progression. We’re told they love someone, but there aren’t really scenes that show that chemistry to justify why, they trust moustache twiddling villains, get upset when someone who they had tea with once betrays them. The main love interest behaves like a sulky teenager. Eeep. If you want a well written version of this story, take a look at Mask of Mirrors by M A Carrick.
