Given: An Epic Romantasy

The Giving Chronicles, Book 1

De: Elayna R. Gallea

Narrado por: Sean Masters, Lilly Drake

She's born to die. He lives to hunt.

Wren was born bearing a Mark on her forehead. She's always known she would be Given to serve the gods in her twentieth year, and she's eager to work for them since they keep the kingdom safe. That is, until she sneaks into a Giving Ceremony and watches as her best friend is slaughtered in the name of the gods.

Horrified, Wren escapes her village under the cover of darkness. Her plan is simple: flee the kingdom and stay alive. Surviving is going well until she stumbles upon an injured, unconscious man in the woods. Unwilling to leave him to die, she heals him. Only when he wakes, she realizes he's a Hunter. And his prey? Her.

Marked Ones must be returned to the gods. It's the law. But now he's in Wren's debt. Inexplicably drawn to her and caught in a moral quandary, he gives her a gift: one day's head start. And when the Hunter catches her, she'll do whatever it takes to get away...

Given is the first book in the Giving Chronicles, a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, epic romantasy series from the author of Tethered and A Game of Love and Betrayal. Narrated in duet style.

Adventure, mystery and a hint of romance

I love a good *ahem* romance book, but sometimes I want an adventure with a teasing of promise without diving deep into.... not safe for anywhere public scenes. This book is an amazing breath of fresh air: full of adventure, intriguing lore, a bit of mystery to keep you wondering and enough chemistry between the leads to want to ship them without rolling your eyes at creative intimate scene descriptions. I look forward to the next book, which I hope brings up the intensity without letting the storyline suffer.

Great book and amazing audio readers!
