The Unnamed

The Book of Names Duology, Book 1

By: M.S. Masood

Narrated by: Nikki Massoud, Fajer Al-Kaisi

"A gift that is not freely given loses its worth. And when it's forcibly taken, a gift can become a curse."

Reim was raised for one purpose: to inherit the Vuorian throne—a crown that demands she protect her fractured, volatile kingdom from those within its walls who seek to ruin it—the Unnamed. A destiny few believe she can fulfill. Least of all, Reim herself.

With her beloved father's health rapidly declining, and the threat of insurrection looming, she makes a desperate deal—sealed in magic and blood—with an enigmatic Unnamed man known only as the healer. But when he finally comes to collect his due, the price he demands not only has the power to destroy her, but everything she thought she knew about honor, justice... and love.

For lovers of the lyrical, character-driven storytelling of V.E. Schwab's Invisible Life of Addie LaRue with the incisive social commentary of M.L. Wang's Blood Over Bright Haven comes the first book in a gripping new fantasy duology, The Unnamed—a bold reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin that examines the transformative power of names, identity, self-growth, and love, all while delivering fast-paced action and a slow-burn romance that will leave listeners eager for more.
