About this listen

A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Game of Thrones in the first book in a sensational new romantasy series where a headstrong princess is kidnapped by the alpha of a werewolf clan, leading to all-out war, and forbidden romance...

When a princess is kidnapped by an alpha, war rages between the humans and the wolves. But soon, forbidden attraction starts to grow…

Princess Aurora longs to escape the castle and the marriage that has been arranged for her.

But on the night before her wedding, at a dog fight where captured werewolves are made to fight for sport, she spares the life of a young wolf. It puts her on the radar of the powerful alpha who was going to kill him. And it changes everything.

That night, when the alpha escapes, he kidnaps her and takes her to the rugged lands north of the border—where the once warring werewolf clans are beginning to unite. He thinks that she is the key to winning the war against the humans.

The wolf king

Liked the male narration and storey line, it was well done & smooth. The female narration was very high pitched & loud by comparison. Overall still a good listen.

Best book of 2025!

I absolutely adore this series! The audibook is amazing and I couldn’t stop listening once I started! Truly refreshing there is alot of “wolf” books that are really doing the bare minimum but this book has it all, only thing I would change is that Blake gets is own narrator ❤️

Partial duet - but still great

Loved the book and loved the audio book, Shane East and Zara Hampton-Brown are fantastic, I only wished that Blake was also narrated by a male. He deserves it.

Oh Blake!

I absolutely loved this story, but the female narrator really took away from the experience for me. Her portrayal of Rory made her sound overly whiny, and certain pronunciations—like "room"—were distracting. I also feel that Blake’s character would have been better served with a male narrator who matched Callum’s excellence. I was so excited to hear this book come to life on Audible, especially after loving the written version, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations.

Great read

Loved this read especially the duel narration. I could listen to that Scottish accent all day! Engaging story that was an easy read and definitely setting up for a great sequel. Only thing I didn’t enjoy was the female narrators voice for Blake.

INCREDIBLE!!!

This book was everything I wanted and more! I went in with no expectations but best believe it was sooo good!!! It is kind of like highlanders (withOUT the triggers) meets ACOTAR. It has intrigue, a little bit of magic, shifters and it is cleverly written. The characters are amazing and so is the story. I hope this goes virtual on booktok and everyone loves it as much as I did!

Outlander meets Acotar vibes

As I was reading this and perhaps it was the Scottish accent of the MMC I couldn’t help but imagine this book to be very Jamie Fraser / Outlander coded which if you are a fan of which I happen to be I enjoyed. If Jamie could also turn into a wolf that is. And yes there is also a hint of ACOTAR. The story was well paced and I liked that there is an air of mystery around the love interests / love hate etc etc. As there isn’t an audible version of book 2 I am hooked enough to begin reading the second book on KU. This book felt refreshing in regards to some of the repetitive romantasy series I had been reading yet is also familiar thanks to the hint of Outlander. It was worth getting lost in for a while.
