Prince of Agony

Perilous Courts, Book 6

De: Tavia Lark

Narrado por: John Solo, Kirt Graves

The price of Kazia's power is pain.

Prince Kazia Dire isn't nice. Being nice lets people close. Letting people close risks revealing Kazia's greatest secret—the power that condemns him to a lifetime of abuse.

Until opportunity appears in the form of a captive enemy mage.

Following a dragon across the borderlands, Lucien Vaire is in chains and matters only get worse from there. Lucien has hated House Dire since the last war. Now, he's under the notorious brat prince's direct control.

Yet beneath Kazia's vicious mask, Lucien senses desperate vulnerability.

Painful experiences have taught Kazia to fear mages. He needs to keep Lucien at a distance even as he uses Lucien's talents. But that distance narrows with each careful kindness. Each accidental touch. Lucien acts more like a protector than a prisoner, and Kazia is tempted by the dangerous sweetness of trust.

But Lucien is still a mage, and Kazia is still broken. And Kazia's cruel parents may still destroy them both.

Prince of Agony is a high fantasy gay romance featuring captivity, hurt/comfort, and enemies hiding in a linen closet together. This is the final book in the Perilous Courts series, which is best enjoyed in order.

Solid end of the series

Audio reread - I love when there's a solid redemption arc for the universally hated character!

Captive prince vibes

Think captive prince but not as violent, but make damianos a dragon rider and make Laurent a magical battery man

Great ending! Best of the series.

I loved it. This is the HEA I wanted & Im so glad we got it!

4.5 stars

I loved seeing the truth behind Kazia! This is definitely enemies to lovers and I totally bought the change in hearts. This was a fitting end to the series.

The narrators did a wonderful job, Kirt Graves is a favourite and John Solo did a great job of capturing Lucien.

The narrators performance

The narrators performance is so good the experience of just reading the book became boring without these amazing voices !

Really Satisfying Finish to the Series

This enemies-to-lovers' tale is a very satisfying finish to Tavia Lark’s brilliant six-book series of princes finding love amidst treacherous politics and magic. Five Stars.

I was initially uneasy starting this final book for two reasons: 1) the main character, Kazia, had been previously introduced in this series and I could not imagine how such an irksome brat could become a sympathetic protagonist, and 2) the foreshadowing of Kazia’s gift/curse reminded me of the third book in this series that involved a, um, "mature relationship dynamic" so unappealing that the book was a DNF for me after the first few chapters.

Never fear. In this book I was quickly rooting for both main characters. Kazia and Lucien both have personal and political reasons to keep themselves romantically apart. However, in forced proximity and from a very disadvantaged position, Lucien eventually decides it is worth it to try…and Kazia’s response is - well, it is worth the listen to find out. And the action-filled ending is one of the best in the series.

The author ends this six-book series weaving an engaging tale of war, family, desire, magic and snarky dragons. I am already looking forward to re-re-listening to this series.

Best One!

This really tied it all together and added depth. Loved the new characters. Must read!

Best in the series

Definitely my favorite in the entire series and it did an excellent job connecting all six books with a fulfilling conclusion.
