Cinders and Shadows

Echoes of the Forsaken, Book 1

De: Evelyne Rose

Narrado por: Isaac Epinal

Anne Haverly never asked to be saved. Raised in the slums of Graystone, she learned long ago that mercy is a luxury reserved for the powerful. But when she crosses paths with Devlin Valtheran, the infamous High Lord of the Nocturne Court, she is thrust into a world far more dangerous than the streets she once called home.

Devlin is a man forged in war, feared even by his own kind. His enemies lurk in every shadow, waiting for a moment of weakness. And now, the girl from the Cinders—stubborn, sharp-tongued, and reckless—has become his greatest vulnerability.

Trapped in a court of secrets and surrounded by monsters both mortal and immortal, Anne must decide where she stands. Devlin is offering her protection, but his world is built on power, not kindness. And in the looming war against the Crimson Cross, power is the only thing that matters.

But Anne is no pawn. And Devlin is no savior.

As desire wars with duty and trust is a dangerous game, the question remains: Will she survive his world, or will he burn it down for her?

Loved It!!

Kept me wondering what was coming next!! Loved the narrator and the story line! Will be getting book 2 as soon as it is available!!!!

teenagers 1st novel

the story: it seems like a teen that wrote their first naughty novel. extremely repetitive. the writing feels like it's mostly fluff. the plot isn't thought through - it seems like we were dropped in the middle of a story and nothing was explained. it seems like they just didn't know where they were going with this story. there are poor transitions from one scene to the next. learn some new metaphors and maybe read a dictionary or thesaurus before you write another book...
the performance: the narrator is honestly the only reason I got past chapter 1 in this book. the narrator actually gives the characters some saving grace. he adds some depth to these cardboard cutout characters. Errindor - amazing.
