Given: An Epic Romantasy

The Giving Chronicles, Book 1

De: Elayna R. Gallea

Narrado por: Sean Masters, Lilly Drake

She's born to die. He lives to hunt.

Wren was born bearing a Mark on her forehead. She's always known she would be Given to serve the gods in her twentieth year, and she's eager to work for them since they keep the kingdom safe. That is, until she sneaks into a Giving Ceremony and watches as her best friend is slaughtered in the name of the gods.

Horrified, Wren escapes her village under the cover of darkness. Her plan is simple: flee the kingdom and stay alive. Surviving is going well until she stumbles upon an injured, unconscious man in the woods. Unwilling to leave him to die, she heals him. Only when he wakes, she realizes he's a Hunter. And his prey? Her.

Marked Ones must be returned to the gods. It's the law. But now he's in Wren's debt. Inexplicably drawn to her and caught in a moral quandary, he gives her a gift: one day's head start. And when the Hunter catches her, she'll do whatever it takes to get away...

Given is the first book in the Giving Chronicles, a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, epic romantasy series from the author of Tethered and A Game of Love and Betrayal. Narrated in duet style.

Obsessed

Obsessed I loved everything about it! Slow burn enemies to lovers! Gives the huntsman vibes! I need the next one now!

Addicted

Can't wait to listen to the 2nd book. The narrators do a great job bringing the characters to life. And what a life the characters have! Exciting and captivating.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book grabbed me by the throat from page one. Birdy is literally just trying to stay alive, and somehow I was stressed, emotional, and fully invested like I was the one being hunted.
And the Hunter? Please. The way this man goes from “I must take you back” to “I will die for you” had me kicking my feet. He can pretend all he wants, but that slow fall was obvious and delicious.
The plot? Wild. Unique. Nothing like the usual copy-paste fantasy I’ve been reading lately. I need Book 2 like yesterday
If you want a story with survival, secrets, forbidden tension, and a cliffhanger that personally attacks you… go read this. You’ll be screaming with me.

Of course I’m here for Sean Masters

I throughly enjoyed and looking forward to where this goes. Not sure why on the negative views

loved it

was sorry when this book ended and even sadder when I realized book 2 doesn't come out untill July 26. I will be waiting in anticipation
