Crown of Light and Ashes

Kingdom of Shadows Series, Book 1

De: Joanna Maz, Vi Carter

Narrado por: Roxy Rose, Casey Jones

I stepped into the Shadow Court to save my brother. I didn't expect to walk out as the bride of the monster who killed the man I loved.

Kaan is the ruthless Lord of Shadows—ancient, merciless, and terrifyingly beautiful. He murdered Aslan with a smile on his lips and my name on his tongue. Then he claimed me as payment for a blood debt.

Now, I'm his wife in black silk and silver chains. Owned. Caged. Watched.

And on our wedding night, he doesn't ask. He takes—my body, my breath, my resistance—until I break. His mouth. His rules. His shadows wrap around me like a noose.

I swore I'd kill him. Instead, I'm moaning his name in the dark.

Because monsters like him don't make love. They unmake you. But Kaan doesn't want love. He wants devotion. He wants me to beg.

And the worst part? I think I will.

This is a dark romantasy and the first book in the Kingdom of Shadow trilogy, set in the same universe as the Kingdom of Light trilogy.

Spice

The author does use some pretty repetitive words but I love the story and spice. Very good listen !

Get new narrators

The narrators could have been so much better. The accents are horrible. The female sounds like a robot. Why is she talking so slow and robotic?

Story seems good but I dont know if I can even finish the first book because of the narrators.

Heart breakingly beautiful

The story line was epic, intense, and amazing!! Although, I don’t like that the narrators didn’t keep to their characters in the chapters that weren’t theirs.

Could be 5stars all the way if only

The spicy is perfect, the story is great, the theme is right and the male voice is panty dropping. But the girl has a nice tone of voice but sounds like a robot trying to pronounce everything perfect. like I can hear the periods when she speaks and it takes you out of the story. PLEASE DO THIS AS A DRAMATIC WITH A BETTER GIRL VOICE.

Narration awful but story is great

The female narrator sounds like AI, there’s no acting or emotion just monotone reading. Kept wanting to DNF but trudged through. Male narrator is phenomenal!! Sorry is amazing and verrryy spicy. 🌶️🌶️
