Publisher's summary

In a universe where corruption and deception rule all aspects of life, sparks of rebellion threaten to ignite.

As the Resistance leader, Zarya Starska's only goal is to topple the government that destroyed her entire family and left her penniless. Her biggest asset is a mysterious man known only as Kere.

But Kere has a dark secret. Born into a world that is as privileged as it is corrupt, his real name is Darling Cruel - and he is heir to the government Zarya wants to overthrow. No one has ever seen the real man behind the legend - no one except Zarya. But when she allows a weapon he designed to be used against his beloved sister, all bets are off.

Betrayed by the Resistance, Darling's goal is not only to reign, but to kill every Resistance member he can find. Zarya must stop Darling's reign of terror, but can she reach past his insanity to restore the hero who once fought by her side?

Emotional rollercoaster!

I have read this book along with the series a couple of times before. When I started listening to it this time I felt like I didn't want to continue as I had such strong feelings. Even before I would remember what happened next I was feeling it. I hate to cry and this book made me do it. In the end I am glad I went through it again. It clearly illustrates how great a writer is when you feel so strongly while reading a book. The narrator added even more emotion to the written book. I would definitely recommend this book, series, author and narrator to anyone who reads or listens to romance.

Wow, wow, wow!

What an amazing book! Darling & Zarya go through so much to get to each other, almost too much. But this is part of the league series and all the characters have endured so much to finally find happiness. Lots of humor in among the angst and love. I listened to this book while taking my (almost) daily walks. It's such a long & full book, it helped me up my distance and my pace! I'm sure my neighbors wonder why I'm laughing and crying as I walk! Great love scenes of course! I love that the league ladies are all kick-ass females and Z is no exception. So happy to see all the other league characters involved in the story. It's so nice to see them leading happy & healthy lives and prospering. The love between these disparate soles who unite to form an extended family is so heartwarming to read about it. Can't wait for Maris & Ture's story coming soon.

Another great addition to The League Series.

What made the experience of listening to Born of Silence the most enjoyable?

The story flows very well and with it being such a long book that is important. It didn't drag too long on any one part so it made me want to keep listening more and more.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Maris or Caillen, that both add such good comic relief from the real serious and depressing aspects of what occur in the book.

What about Holter Graham’s performance did you like?

As always he is perfect. Cannot imagine anybody else reading the books.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"When secrets are revealed!!"

Any additional comments?

The action in this book isn't quite as good as some of the others but the story still keeps you wanting more.

I like all of Kenyon's books

Maris is my favorite character alongside Styx! I can't wait to read Maris' book cloak & silence.
