Publisher's summary

Surrounded by enemies, I've never been further from my crown…

Or closer to death.

Amidst a betrayal we couldn't have anticipated, I'll do whatever it takes to find my way back to Lorian—before his fury lays waste to this continent.

Alliances are being forged and broken, our enemies are unifying, and Regner’s spiders are closer than ever before.

We have only one chance to prevent him from attaining god-like powers and enslaving every human, fae, and hybrid across the four kingdoms.

Meanwhile, the human king believes I’m trapped here, yearning for my death, and waiting for Lorian to save me.

But Regner hasn’t yet realized that I'll stop at nothing to free my people.

And he's the one who should be afraid of me.

Loving this series

This has been so fun to listen to, the characters and the way they evolve, so happy the next book is coming out soon, I had my headphones on and was not really paying attention to how much was felt in the book and the ending caught me off guard….. cliffhanger for sure

I. LOVE. THIS. SERIES.

This series is amazing to say the least. I cannot wait on May 30th for the 4th book 😩😩 its a must read or listen. The narration is amazing. With only two narrators the amount of accents and changes in their voices allows you to easily keep up but also makes it to much more enjoyable!

I need the next one

This story was interesting, I’ll be picking up the next one for sure.
You see more from other perspectives, the emotional impact is pretty solid too.
My ONLY complaint is the damn cliffhanger you’re left on, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!

Best book series I’ve read since ACOTAR, with more smut

Do not let the weird titles deter you from this series. The third book did not disappoint, I have started reading so many series that just plummet after the first book, this series just keeps getting better!

I Can’t Wait For The Next Book!

I got the first audiobook from the library, and really wanted to continue the story. SO GOOD! By the end of the third book I was fully invested and CAN NOT WAIT for the next book.

Well written, great plot and great build. The only minus one star is because the female and all of the men. Yes, yes Pris. You’re beautiful and funny, vulnerable and strong, looking for your way in the world and everyone loves you. We get it…..but isn’t that what every woman wants? Meh. I really liked Medina, I can’t wait to see her character develop and see where her story goes.

I will most likely listen again and when Book 1 is on sale, I will add it to my library.

Absolutely magnificent

The Kingdom of Lies book series by Stacia Stark is absolutely incredible. From the world building, romance to the overall thoughtfulness of the series - I simply can’t wait for the 4th book to come out in May 2024. Stacia Stark is a truly talented author, and I’ve now listened to the first two books twice. Beware reader - this book also ends on a cliff hanger! I had to stop what I was doing after finishing it. 🫶

Great Progression of Events

I felt really connected to the characters. Having been invested since the first book, I felt every emotional wave that slammed into me. I enjoyed getting into the perspectives of not just the two main leads, but everyone involved.
