Lost Lyrebird

Harbingers of Chaos, Book 2

De: Darby Briar

Narrado por: Heather Firth, Joe Arden

How do you let go of someone who’s woven into the fabric of your soul?

From international bestselling author Darby Briar comes a heart-wrenching romance about redemption, second chances, and fighting for the love you can’t forget.

This story drops you straight into the gritty, unforgiving world of the Harbingers of Chaos motorcycle club and the exotic gentlemen’s club they run. It also explores dark themes. Please heed the trigger warnings before listening. Your mental health matters.

Once broken and afraid, Lily has rebuilt herself into a woman who owns every room she walks into. She’s more than a dancer on stage—she’s an artist who can bring a man to his knees. She’s powerful, untouchable, and in complete control of her world. Yet no matter how far she’s come, one thing remains—she can’t forget the man who saved her… and disappeared without a trace.

Finn is a man searching for the girl time forgot. A traumatic injury has left him with chronic pain and holes in his memory. But he pushes himself beyond his limits to find the little bird haunting the edges of his broken mind. She might be the only one who can put the scattered pieces back together before it’s too late.

When their worlds collide for a second time, old wounds reopen, and the deep connection they once shared sparks back to life. But Lily isn’t the same girl, and Finn is far from the boy she once loved.

As Finn fights for his redemption and Lily battles her fears, they’ll discover that some loves are too deep to walk away from… no matter the cost.

Amazing

I eyeball read this book first but the audio was so much more. The addition of Joe and Heather was fantastic. They are both amazing actors that have so much range and really brought Goose and Lily to life. Heather and Joe brought the emotions out of me this time around. They really brought the emotion to the book and I had a great time with this one!

Raw, Heartfelt, and Utterly Unforgettable

Every so often, a story comes along that isn’t simply read—it’s experienced, felt, and carried long after the final page. Lost Lyrebird by Darby Briar is one of those stories. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, this second‑chance romance immerses you in a whirlwind of raw emotion, magnetic chemistry, and unforgettable characters. It’s not the kind of love story you coast through—it’s one that demands every beat of your heart.

At its core, this is Finn and Lily’s journey, forged in tragedy and complicated by memory loss, grief, and resilience. Briar gives Lily’s character a fierce, radiant presence—her strength, her passion, and especially her dance sequences feel purposeful and deeply moving. Finn—“Goose”—is a hero both tender and unyielding, fiercely protective yet achingly vulnerable as his memories resurface. Together, their connection burns with intensity, balancing fire with fragility in a way that feels entirely authentic.

The audiobook brings another layer of depth, brought to life through a duet narration by Heather Firth and Joe Arden. Heather captures Lily’s sensuality and strength with ease, while Joe delivers an unforgettable portrayal of Finn—raw, powerful, and emotionally charged. Their performances don’t just voice the characters; they embody them, making the listening experience deeply immersive and impossible to forget.

Beautiful, well written story!

A beautiful, emotional, slow burn filed with tension and angst. Lily and Goose were such great characters and their story just melted my heart. I easily got lost in the world of these amazing characters and enjoyed every minute of it. This was book 2 in The Harbingers of Chaos Series and I can’t wait for the next book! The way this one ended, I also can’t wait to learn more about Bodie and that whole situation! 😬🫣😂 I freaking love Bodie!
The narration performed in duet by Heather Firth and Joe Arden was incredible! Their ability to voice so many different characters and bring their personalities out is mind blowing. They both really brought the story and all the emotions of it to life.

Intense, Vivid, and Hauntingly Beautiful!

Lost Lyrebird by Darby Briar was already a five-star read for me… but the audiobook? It took this story beyond five stars.

Finn (aka Goose) and Lily’s journey is one of those stories that consumes you… full of angst, heartbreak, and that kind of aching love that clings to your soul. Darby’s writing is so vivid, every emotion leaps off the page… and then having it performed in duet turned it into a full-on cinematic experience in my mind.

Heather Firth completely embodied Lily. Her sass, her toughness, that fierce “I’m a badass” attitude, but also her raw vulnerability when she’s hurting and trying to push through. You can hear all of it in her performance, and it’s breathtaking.

And Joe Arden? Every time I think I’ve heard his best performance, he outdoes himself. His portrayal of Finn was gut-wrenching, you could feel the torment in his voice, the pain of migraines, the confusion of memory loss, the desperate longing for what he can’t quite remember. And the way he differentiates every single male character in this motorcycle club? Unbelievable. Truly a vocal shapeshifter.

Between Darby’s emotionally charged, beautifully layered storytelling and this powerhouse narration, Lost Lyrebird was an experience I’ll never forget.

loved it!

I absolutely love this series and this book was perfect in every way I can't wait for the next one! 💜

This book really had me and my emotions

I was completely swept away by this story. The emotions hit hard in the best way!! The characters felt so real and the voice acting in this made everything come alive! The emotion Joe Arden brings to Goose/Finn … 5 stars! Heather Firth had me connect to the character in such a deep way. Darby Briar knows how to break your heart and slowly piece it back together. I can’t wait for more in this series!! Omg and the epilogue!?!?

Written for us still searching for our Finn…

Beautifully written. Emotionally raw. Heartbreaking at times. I felt parts of Lilly & Goose in my heart, in my own life. This story will forever stay with me. Thank you Darby Briar for sharing this with us.

Absolutely fkn amazing story

So many emotions, I enjoyed this book so much. Everything I could have asked for in a crazy emotional roller coaster of a story.

I want to be Lily.

Wow! What a ride. I had listened to Burning Embers. That's where we were first introduced to Lily and Finn. I really wanted their story. Darby didn’t disappoint. My heart broke for Finn (Goose). He has been through so much. All I wanted was him to be happy. I want to be Lily when I grow up. She is a bad a**!! I think if I hadn't listened to Burning Embers, I'd do this one first. I think it would pull the series together nicely. Ok, now I need Bodie's book!

Performed in duet by Heather Firth & Joe Arden.
10/5 stars!!

BEST NARRATION EVER 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Story line & character development was top tier 5⭐️ ~ Shocking twists throughout entire book that were naturally embedded ~ I fell in love with Bodie & could not stop laughing but when he cried, I ugly cried! ~ FMC & MMC had a realistic tough go at life & both backstories had me in tears! ~ This was the best narrator performance I’ve ever heard and I’ve logged 234 audiobooks this year! (I may or may not have clipped the spicy scenes which were …. One handed scenes throughout the ENTIRE BOOK!🥵) I cannot recommend this book enough! Reading slump shattered! Great job!👏
