DARIUS:

There she lay in all her glory...it was her: Dalia from the Wild.

As she lay upon the manicured turf eating a fresh peach under a heavy tree, my mouth salivated as she sexily consumed her delicacy.

She was unaware I stood there as I cocked my head to admire that lovely unspoiled girl.

Her long golden locks spiraled all around her while her wet lips suctioned on that tempting fruit.

Her eyelashes to her pink freckled cheeks...she was like sunshine in the shadows, as if in a forbidden garden.

I, as sweet as Lucifer, would snake my way into her thoughts with mere words. Words of truths she had yet to know.

Was this truly the Wild Cherry the Workfolk Guardians had fought that night to check her virtue?

Was this Dalia the one who had escaped the Workfolk trade, still untouched?

I grinned devilishly at the hen that would lay the golden eggs that could heal our land and cure my father.

Her tart and seductive responses were fresh and challenging.

But how?

How would I steal her from Dr. Lord Kaine Remmington's fortified residence?

I would find a way. Truly it was Dalia's blood that ruled, for he who had her had immense power over all of Hearth.

Dalia's blood reigned...She would be mine.

KAINE:

Desperate, I traveled from Eden, the highest kingdom on Hearth, searching for Sabrina's offspring who could carry a DNA link and cure.

I was venturing into the Wild, far from our cities to the slum boroughs.

Would Sabrina and her sister, Delila, have given up life in Eden to live in squalor & birth a royal baby in utter poverty? Those in the Wild lived like the mythical Vikings without any crude weaponry. Their struggle to survive was real.

I would send the Workfolk Guardians...

Not...a...dull...moment!

I liked it

The storyline is unique. I enjoyed the duet narration by the three talented narrators. The characters are interesting. The book was entertaining.

Dark fantasy that kept me hooked

Honestly this book went places I didn’t expect. Darius is bold, dangerous, and a little scary, while Kaine feels like he’s holding secrets of his own. And poor Dalia stuck in the middle, I kept wondering what choice she’d make. Some of the darker parts made me pause, but I couldn’t stop listening. Grace Noble’s narration really pulled me into it, her voice fit the mood perfectly. It’s not fluffy romance at all, more raw and intense, and I liked that.

villians

When this started off it reminded me a lot of the movie blood rain, but I quickly discerned that this is definitely different from that. I find myself quickly taking sizes to who I want to see when be at the good guys or the villains but that depends on your temperament and wicked sense of humorous to which way you prefer to go.
I do recommend this audiobook I can also be found on Kindle unlimited as well.

Totally unexpected in a good way

WOW!! I mean.. WOW!!! I wasn't too sure when I first started this as I don't always like this genre and there is a warning about triggering situations in the beginning of the book. However, I couldn't put it down and listened to it at one go. It does contain steamy scenes and ends in a cliffhanger.
It's totally beautifully written and the narrators have done an excellent job. Looking forward to listening the other 2 books in the same series.

Left me speechless

What did I just listen to.

Left with so many questions, I need to know what happens next.

I loved how the narrator was able to make every charters voice stand out.

I was on edge entire time reading this, and honestly going know how I’m rotting for. The author did
Such a great job writing this and keeping you hooked
