    About this audiobook

    From multi-award-winning author J.E. Reed comes a breathtaking new series full of love and survival.

    A queen in hiding. Two countries at war.

    When eighteen-year-old Arianna is stolen from her family and sold into slavery, she spends months disguised as a half-breed Fae struggling against the devastations of a decade-long war. But she never expected to find herself at the mercy of her country's greatest enemy.

    General Rion is ruthless and commanding. He relishes in his reputation as The Demon---a vile creature incapable of love or compassion. With a secret no one can know, Arianna strives to placate him while plotting her escape, but sometimes fate has other plans and rumors can't always be trusted.

    She'll have to make a choice. Kill the most feared male on the continent or stay and let a forbidden bond take root. But what will happen when he discovers her secret?

    With 2000+ five-star ratings on Amazon and Goodreads, this fantasy romance series full of love and survival is guaranteed to have you reaching for the tissues, screaming out loud, and losing sleep. Don't start reading at night or you'll never go to bed! Great for fans of fantasy romance who enjoyed A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas and The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. Pick up Book 1 today and add Rion to your shelf of amazing book boyfriends.

    Trigger Warnings: War, Violence, Slavery, Torture, Death, Blood, Starvation, Kidnapping, Injury, SA (no on-page descriptions only mentioned), Loss of a Parent

      Really good. Can’t wait to read the next book.
    • 4/5
      I LOVED THE BOOK. However, I hated the ending. It's a beauty and the beast type of story. That ended, leaving so much to answer. If this is a stand-alone I'll never read from this author again.
