Death of the Day

Written by Imogen Markwell-Tweed

Narrated by Ray Jericho

It’s Christmas morning and Prince Henri knows exactly how the day is to go — and he is dreading it. Not just because Christmas in Nemeth is always the same: predictable, dull, and depressing. Not just because the Princess from a neighboring kingdom is there to formalize her betrothal to him, begrudgingly.

It’s not the specific annoyances and nuances of the day that Henri dreads, but the day itself — for our Prince has already lived this day. Literally. Again and again. He is trapped in some sort of time loop and seems to be doomed to repeat this day for all eternity. Is it a curse? Is it a trap? Is it some punishment from the Gods? Is it a life lesson he is yet to learn? His burden is a lonely one, for he is the only person who is aware of this hellish helix of time… or is he?

Tauren is a young warlock with many magical gifts. He has been dreaming of a handsome prince from a faraway kingdom for all his life. Well, not so much “dreaming” as seeing — he has some sort of psychic tether to this prince and when Tauren sleeps, he watches the Prince’s life unfold. He has come to love this man from afar, and when the dreams abruptly stop, Tauren sets out on a journey to find out why.

Will Henri trust this interloper? Will Tauren be able to rescue the man of his dreams?

Reviews for Death of the Day

[Girly Ali · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was actually not what I expected and I was left speechless I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. it is absolutely beautiful and i love how it had like a little Snow White/ Sleeping Beauty moment.

[Jeffrey Lobdell · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I truly enjoyed the story itself, but was a little disappointed by the narration that was so wooden at times it was difficult to listen to.

[Emm · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is a great little story, but it is let down by wooden narration.
