Brute

Brute leads a lonely life in a world where magic is commonplace. He is seven and a half feet of ugly, and of disreputable descent. No one, including Brute, expects him to be more than a laborer. But heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and when he is maimed while rescuing a prince, Brute's life changes abruptly. He is summoned to serve at the palace in Tellomer as a guard for a single prisoner. It sounds easy but turns out to be the challenge of his life.

Rumors say the prisoner, Gray Leynham, is a witch and a traitor. What is certain is that he has spent years in misery: blind, chained, and rendered nearly mute by an extreme stutter. And he dreams of people's deaths - dreams that come true.

As Brute becomes accustomed to palace life and gets to know Gray, he discovers his own worth, first as a friend and a man and then as a lover. But Brute also learns heroes sometimes face difficult choices and that doing what is right can bring danger of its own.

Truly wonderful!

This story is so well written, it is totally interesting, it holds your attention throughout. It is a story of love, in an era of "haves and have nots", and how love conquers in the end. I loved this story, I recommend it to everyone.

Good good

I enjoy this book I thought I wouldn't like it but I did it will stay in my library

What a sweet and heartbreaking story.

My heart is always for the ones who may be perceived as scary but are huge cinnamon rolls. I can’t tell you how many times my eyes teared up for these two. Both lived a tortured and abused life and to find each other… 😭. You will get upset. You may tear up. You will fall in love with these two souls. The narrator did such a great job portraying the characters. Don’t skip this audio book.

Sweet, sexy, .

Loved the story, the narration , everything. A story of the giant with the tender heart and a prisoner unjustly treated.

good stort

a little heart wrenching with how Brute/Arik? and Gray were treated. the unfolded well and I enjoyed getting to know the characters, hearing them fall for each other and their growth.

the narration was pleasing to the ear. I think Lord Maud? was the only character voiced I think like he sounded very nasally.other then that it was great
