Publisher's summary

In a world where the League and its assassins rule, where betrayal and treachery are everywhere... the only survivors are those ones who are... Born of Shadows.

For Caillen Dagan, a defiant soldier of fortune, survival isn't a right, it's a brutal daily battle. Moving through the Ichidaian universe like a wraith, his brushes with the law and death are legendary. But when an act of rare heroism reveals his hidden birthright, he's forced into a world much more dangerous and cold-hearted than the bloody streets where he was raised-one of obscene wealth and lethal politics.

Ferocious and determined, Desideria serves as an official bodyguard for her queen. Born of questionable genetics, she will do anything to prove herself worthy of the weapons she carries and the position she's won by combat. But when she uncovers a ruthless plot to assassinate the queen and overthrow her country's government, Desideria is caught in the crosshairs.

Another Fantastic book in this series.

I just love the Leagues Series and this one was another great addition to the series. The narrator was excellent also.

Another Great Book!

Another Great book in a great series! I have read and reread the League series and now I am listening to them as well. The audible version added something even more to a series I really didn't think could get any better. I am very happy I purchased this version. Now I can listen to it when I am unable to read it or read and listen at the same time.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes sci fi romance.

out standing!!! you want MORE!!

Where does Born of Shadows rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

it was by far the best way to contiue the series. you feel as if you are a part of the group.

What other book might you compare Born of Shadows to and why?

no other book!! it is all by its self!!! you are so wrapped up in the story and the adventure they are going through.

Which character – as performed by Holter Graham – was your favorite?

no way can you pick out just one!!! they are all so cool and fun...

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

it is so hard to turn off the book to get things done. it is the first thing i would plug in and get to it!!!

Any additional comments?

you must start at the begining of the
series... you will soon find yourself into the 2nd 3rd and so on.....

know the universe

The story, book, & Author is my very favorite! Sherrilyn Kenyon never lets you down and always exceeds expectation! I really enjoyed listening to the story and will probably do so many times... Not to mention having read it many times. The only issue I have with this reading is that the narrator does not pronounce some of the names, beings and places correctly. Being an avid, loyal Menyon, I find it highly irritating to hear the main Heroin's name pronounced incorrectly throughout the entire story.

Good action

The end was kinda lame, but the fights were awesome. Narrator needs a better female voice it was horrible.
