From the New York Times bestselling author of So This Is Ever After, a young prince must rely on a mysterious stranger to save him when he is kidnapped during his coming-of-age tour in this swoony adventure that is The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue meets Pirates of the Caribbean.

Prince Tal has long awaited his coming-of-age tour. After spending most of his life cloistered behind palace walls as he learns to keep his forbidden magic secret, he can finally see his family’s kingdom for the first time. His first taste of adventure comes just two days into the journey, when their crew discovers a mysterious prisoner on a burning derelict vessel.

Tasked with watching over the prisoner, Tal is surprised to feel an intense connection with the roguish Athlen. So when Athlen leaps overboard and disappears, Tal feels responsible and heartbroken, knowing Athlen could not have survived in the open ocean.

That is, until Tal runs into Athlen days later on dry land, very much alive, and as charming—and secretive—as ever. But before they can pursue anything further, Tal is kidnapped by pirates and held ransom in a plot to reveal his rumored powers and instigate a war. Tal must escape if he hopes to save his family and the kingdom. And Athlen might just be his only hope…

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Whether he's quietly narrating vulnerable conversations between Tal and Athlen or expertly describing action-packed battle scenes, Free's narration is alive with all the pangs of growing up. Delivering an array of excellent character voices and just the right amount of drama, he transforms this magical adventure into an unforgettable listen."

Highly recommend

I was really excited for the release of this book because of the cover art and it didn't disappoint. All of the characters both big and small are likeable and relatable, which is something I have lately had a hard time with when it comes to LGBTQIA+ romances.

Tal and Athlen are both amazing and well developed main characters and the ensemble cast is also really good.

The narration was pretty good too. I look forward to reading more from this author and will be looking into there other books.

The climax is probably the best part of the book in my opinion, it was really wonderful.

Absolutely Amazing!

This has been an amazing story to enjoy and be in the edge of my seat listening to.

The romantic chemistry these two leads have and all of Tals family have just been so amazing to get to know. Kevin did a wonderful job getting into the spirit of each character so that I could visualize everything more clearly even though some character inflections were accidentally forgotten.

I recommend this greatly.

Fairytales Do Come True

I cried

As a fan of the Ingo books as a little queer kid I had wanted something like this growing up. It made me cry to listen to this as it was what I had dreamed of for so long.
