    About this audiobook

    Faerie wasn't supposed to be real.

    Tricked by a fae prince, Elora is stuck in the Faerie realm far from her young sisters who depend on her for survival. Under the terms of her bargain, she can't go home to the mortal world until Prince Brannick becomes the next High King.

    Or until he's taken out of the running . . .

    Sabotaging Brannick's chance at the crown will be much faster than helping him win. The fae prince may be charming, powerful, and wickedly handsome, but that won't stop Elora from selling his secrets to the highest bidder.

    By day, she uses her master sword skills to train the prince. By night, she conspires with a rival king in a nearby court whose plans could destroy half of Faerie.

    Soon, lives are at stake that she never expected. She'll have to choose who to save: her beloved sisters or half the inhabitants of Faerie.

    The choice would be easy . . . if a certain prince weren't digging his way into her heart.

    • 3/5
      The story was okay but overall very average, and although I found the pace a little slow at times and the whole ‘essence’ thing could have been more thoroughly explained, none of which were helped by the narrator. Her tone sounds robotic and irritating and at certain points, it sounds like she was spitting out the lines through clenched teeth!
      I persevered through the other books in the series all the same. They don’t get any better but don’t get any worse either. Not terrible: give them a try if you enjoy Fae-themed books: 3/5 from me.
