Resumen del Editor

The first book in USA Today and New York Times best-selling author C.L. Wilson’s hugely popular, stunning, epic fantasy romance series about Ellysetta, the girl who would be queen, the Tairen Soul, and their eternal battle for true love in the mystical Fading Lands.

Once he drove back the darkness. Once he loved with such passion his name was legend.

Once, driven wild with grief over the murder of his beloved, the majestic Fey King Rain Tairen Soul had laid waste to the world before vanishing into the Fading Lands.

Now, a thousand years later, a new threat draws him back into the world - and a new love reawakens the heart he thought long-dead. Ellysetta, a woodcarver’s daughter, calls to Rain in a way no other ever had. Mysterious and magical, her soul beckons him with a compelling, seductive song - and no matter the cost, the wildness in his blood will not be denied.

As an ancient, familiar evil regains its strength, causing centuries-old alliances to crumble and threatening doom for Rain and his people...he must claim his true mate to embrace the destiny woven for them both in the mists of time.

One of my all time favorites!

I read this title years ago and it instantly became a favorite! The only thing better than C. L. Wilson’s writing is the brilliant performance by Abby Craden!

Still My Favorite!

I have LOVED the Fading Lands series since its first publication! Hearing read to me was absolutely wonderful! I haven't read them in a few years, and as always, this one leaves me wanting to dive right into the rest!

So Good!

I struggled a little with the narration of Elysetta being a bit annoying ( she is 24 and still says Mommy lol) but the story is so good! I got a little lost on all the names and places but the main storyline was easy to follow.

Will be downloading book 2

I love this series.

This story is so engaging I have read this series 10 times since my friend first introduced me to it. I wish there were more

First Audio Book Listened To

I don't listen to Audio books much. In fact, the only other book I've listened to is the Try Guys, and that felt like listening to their Youtube channel so it didn't register to me as a book so much as a long podcast.

This, on the other hand, is a book series I LOVE and have re-read at least six times. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I did, since most of the time someone reading to me is not as 'good' as me reading to myself.

While I maintain that I probably enjoy reading books myself more, this was wonderful to work and crochet to. I rather loved it, in fact, and have just picked up the sequel in audio book for the same reason!

I love this series!

I have purchased this series in paper 10+ times and shared it with all who like to read (and some that don’t) my fav of all time!

Fated Mates

I loved the voice of the narrator and once I made it past the first chapter, I really began to enjoy the story. I loved that Fey Rain, made an effort to court Ellysetta and was not worried about her social status. She is his true fated mate, but he allows her the choice to choose him. I fell in love with the characters and their story and can't wait to read book two.

Abby Craden made the magic complete

A beautiful fairytale, so stunningly narrated by Abby Craden. I will try book 2 now

Love This the 4th time around

This is the 4th time listening and I love the New Narration. Wonderful Story. I look forward to listening to the rest of this awesome series.

Great book. Narration miss.

I’ve been a fan of this series for years. I checked the audio book out from the library then purchased the first book to avoid being put on hold. I was surprised to find the Audible book had a new narrator. She has a lovely voice and does the female voices well, but the male voices are painful to listen to. The best female narrators drop their voices slightly but stay within a comfortable range to represent male voices. This narrator drops her voice too much. She’s obviously straining and her voice becomes gravelly and rough. It’s impossible to tell one male voice from another because she leaves no room for variation or inflection. I only buy audio versions of books I like to hear over and over. This one turned out to be a waste of money because I find the male voices so unpleasant that I’d rather wait for it to be available from the library.
