An Heir Comes to Rise, Book 1

De: Chloe C. Peñaranda

Narrado por: Elizabeth Evans

A SWORD . . .

In the impoverished outer town of a kingdom where fae outrank humans, Faythe, an orphan with a talent for swordplay, knows the importance of keeping her head down around the fae patrol. She and best friend Jakon long for a better life, and her desire to swing her sword in combat may bring the purpose and coin she's yearned for.

A DREAM . . .

When she draws the attention of royal guard Nik, she soon learns that her mortal nature isn't the only reason to remain out of sight. Nik is a Nightwalker, a silent assassin of the mind with the power to enter others' dreams, and whether she trusts him or not, he's about to awaken abilities in Faythe that shouldn't exist in a human. Nightmarish abilities. Deadly abilities. Abilities that will teach Faythe blood really does run thicker than water . . . and if she doesn't trust in higher powers soon, blood will run indeed.

AN HEIR . . .

For this is no battle Faythe can fight with steel. Within the city walls, suspicions are arising, and here in the outer town she has deeper bonds to protect. It seems everyone will die with a dark secret to tell, but what if one unlikely human girl was born harboring the darkest secret of all . . . ?

Good read

The characters are likable and relatable. As the story unfolds it definitely gives a more expedited TOG feel.

Good story

The storyline is interesting and characters are likeable. The visual energy that Elizabeth Evens brings to the books she narrates is so good.

Basic Human Becomes More

I enjoyed listening to this book and thought the narrator did a wonderful job at telling the story. Unfortunately, I thought the story fell flat. Though intriguing in its premise, most things that happen are predictable. I also didn’t come away with this with the need to continue on to the next books to find out what happens. I will finish the series, but I’m not in a rush to finish as this story just fell flat for me.

The Narration

Everything about it was amazing! The heartbreak that Faythe felt from realizing that Nick was the king’s daughter, and the way the author was able to write how everyone was feeling and treated. This was well done, thank you so much!

Hmmm

This book was a set up for the rest I’m hoping . This book is not bad by any stretch but we are hovering on the line of full break through or meh. I love the characters, I love the romance and I love me some Elizabeth Evans. I haven’t heard one book I haven’t liked her reading. I just am hopeful that we get more answers and more action.
