A Serpent in Stormsby

De: Ava Smiddy

Narrado por: Sara Brodt

A Firewitch in hiding. A shifter on the loose. And a Kingsman on a mission.

Abandoned by her brother, Roz has been burned down to the wick just trying to keep their family inn afloat. Now with Yule around the corner, all she wants is to make it through the season with her sanity and some extra coin.

But when a shapeshifter escapes the King's dungeons, The Mage & Rose is commandeered by a platoon of Kingsmen tasked with hunting the dangerous fugitive.

With the secret magic burning in her chest, Roz has plenty of reason to keep her distance from the King's forces. The topmost being the infuriating Captain Caelan... and his concerning effect on her power.

A Serpent in Stormsby is a cosy fantasy romance with a generous helping of spice and a dash of mystery. This a standalone novel.

Very fun!

I really enjoyed this book! It was a cozy romantasy that all took place in Stormsby. Roz runs an inn and has fire magic within her. When the Kingsmen swamp her inn in pursuit of a shapeshifter, she meets the enticing Captain Caelan.

I enjoyed the banter and the mystery of who could be the shapeshifter. The audiobook was also amazing, narrated by Sara Brodt! Even though it's a single POV book, the male voices were done very well!

If you're looking for a cozy fantasy with some romance and spice, give this one a chance! 4.5/5 🥰

Such a wonderful listen!

Dang! The accents, the story, the unique magic system, I loved it all! There were moments that made me melt, others that made me swoon, and even more that made me smile.

Great story fantastic Narration!

This was such an enjoyable listen! Great story and the narrator, Sara Brodt did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life! If you love some good spice, lovable characters and a catchy plot that will make you not want to stop listening, this is your next read! ❤️

Fantastic narration that captivates you into the story

Roz runs an inn and tavern that her late parents opened. While business could use an uptick, she did not anticipate it being overrun by the king’s guards. She also didn’t expect the captain to be so irritating…or so handsome.

Ava does a wonderful job of keeping the push-pull, tense and fiery moments throughout the book.

Sara Brodt did a phenomenal job with narration. Especially the lilt in Caelan’s voice!

Cute story. Wonderful audio

I adored this one. The setting and vibes are cozy but the story is interesting and heartfelt. I want to go live in Stormsby (after the ending for the book once things are politically settled, of course)! If you’ve ever wanted to read a story from the perspective of an innkeeper who only has one room left 😉 for the enemies to lovers, then this story is for you. It had a lots of moments to make a romantasy lover giggle but had a great story and good spice.
I listened to this in audio and the performance by Sara Brodt is spectacular! The male voices were so convincing that I actually had to double check that it was not a duet narration at one point.
