A Song of Shadow and Starlight

Shadow and Starlight, Book 1

By: Morgan Gauthier

Narrated by: Stefanie Kay

Ilaria Shaye Kitarni is the sole heir to the Midorian Throne, but she will never be permitted to rule.

On the eve of her wedding to her childhood best friend, she unwittingly thwarts an assassination attempt, and is kidnapped by the Tronovians, the sworn enemy of the Midorians.

Determined to escape her captors, she burns their boat and swims to the shores of the Jungle Kingdom of Bava. But instead of getting away, she thrusts herself, and the three magic-wielding brothers who captured her, into perils she's only ever read about in books.

During the long trek through Bava, she discovers hidden truths not only about the people she loves most, but about herself as well.

Never trust a Tronovian. That has been beaten into Shaye's head for as long as she can remember, but could it be, the only people she can trust, are her enemies?

A Song of Shadow and Starlight is the first book in a NA fantasy romance and adventure series, perfect for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, ACOTAR, and Dungeons and Dragons!

Voice Actress Sounds Like Mandy Moore

This is perfect for a Rapunzel retelling because she sounds like Mandy Moore. Also, I love the movie Tangled. 😍 I really had a good time with the audiobook.

Lively narrator with compelling story

I Adored this narrator and story! I couldn’t stop listening. The characters are so lovable and I liked that it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger.

Great story, best as an audiobook

I read this as a hard copy and while the writing was easy it felt sort of stilted and the editing was not well done, but I loved the story. When the audio came out I immediately downloaded and ahh it’s so good. The writing lends itself well to being read out loud and I could appreciate the story itself even more.
