I stepped into the Shadow Court to save my brother. I didn't expect to walk out as the bride of the monster who killed the man I loved.

Kaan is the ruthless Lord of Shadows—ancient, merciless, and terrifyingly beautiful. He murdered Aslan with a smile on his lips and my name on his tongue. Then he claimed me as payment for a blood debt.

Now, I'm his wife in black silk and silver chains. Owned. Caged. Watched.

And on our wedding night, he doesn't ask. He takes—my body, my breath, my resistance—until I break. His mouth. His rules. His shadows wrap around me like a noose.

I swore I'd kill him. Instead, I'm moaning his name in the dark.

Because monsters like him don't make love. They unmake you. But Kaan doesn't want love. He wants devotion. He wants me to beg.

And the worst part? I think I will.

This is a dark romantasy and the first book in the Kingdom of Shadow trilogy, set in the same universe as the Kingdom of Light trilogy.

The female narrator sounds like AI, there’s no acting or emotion just monotone reading. Kept wanting to DNF but trudged through. Male narrator is phenomenal!! Sorry is amazing and verrryy spicy. 🌶️🌶️

Narration awful but story is great

The spicy is perfect, the story is great, the theme is right and the male voice is panty dropping. But the girl has a nice tone of voice but sounds like a robot trying to pronounce everything perfect. like I can hear the periods when she speaks and it takes you out of the story. PLEASE DO THIS AS A DRAMATIC WITH A BETTER GIRL VOICE.

Could be 5stars all the way if only

The story line was epic, intense, and amazing!! Although, I don’t like that the narrators didn’t keep to their characters in the chapters that weren’t theirs.

Heart breakingly beautiful

I wanted to love this audiobook more than I did but the female narrator ruined it for me… her voice did not match the character… perhaps a different female narrator for future sequels

Great Story
