Publisher's summary

In a universe where corruption and deception rule all aspects of life, sparks of rebellion threaten to ignite.

As the Resistance leader, Zarya Starska's only goal is to topple the government that destroyed her entire family and left her penniless. Her biggest asset is a mysterious man known only as Kere.

But Kere has a dark secret. Born into a world that is as privileged as it is corrupt, his real name is Darling Cruel - and he is heir to the government Zarya wants to overthrow. No one has ever seen the real man behind the legend - no one except Zarya. But when she allows a weapon he designed to be used against his beloved sister, all bets are off.

Betrayed by the Resistance, Darling's goal is not only to reign, but to kill every Resistance member he can find. Zarya must stop Darling's reign of terror, but can she reach past his insanity to restore the hero who once fought by her side?

Emotional rollercoaster!

I have read this book along with the series a couple of times before. When I started listening to it this time I felt like I didn't want to continue as I had such strong feelings. Even before I would remember what happened next I was feeling it. I hate to cry and this book made me do it. In the end I am glad I went through it again. It clearly illustrates how great a writer is when you feel so strongly while reading a book. The narrator added even more emotion to the written book. I would definitely recommend this book, series, author and narrator to anyone who reads or listens to romance.

My Favorite League Book

If you could sum up Born of Silence in three words, what would they be?

First let me applaud Sherrilyn Kenyon and Holter Graham on another great audio book. The story is heart wrenching at times I found myself wiping my tears away. Holter Graham is so enjoyable to listen to...one of my favorite narrators. So many life lessons in this book 'You can't change the past nor the future but you can make a difference today'. The book does include many characters from the prior books so I reccomend starting with book 1 if you are new to the series. The book is very long but I finished it very quickly...I could not stop listening to it. The love story is amazing. The cruelty Darling faced throughout his life is unimaginable however he remains a man of great character. This audio book is definitely a must hear.

What other book might you compare Born of Silence to and why?

Born of silence has the feel of books by Lara Adrian, J.R. Ward and Pamela Palmer as far as the alpha males who stick together. Also has the strong woman who stands by her man no matter what.

Which scene was your favorite?

Too many to list. I loved all the one liners though.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both...at times I found myself crying and then laughing at some of the funny one liners.

great

I was a bit confused at first. The book did not start off how they normally start. However once we got to know the characters and understand where she was going the books are at the flow very nicely. I love seeing the badass Centinela come together and work their magic

One of my favorite of the series

Omg! This book makes you laugh, cry and has action. It shows that love (friendship, lover, and family) can conquer anything. Thank you Sherrilyn for another beautiful story.

A Whole New Level of Wow!

This is only my second book in this series. I jumped in to Born of Shadows because of Holter Graham, and loved it. But this book! This book was incredible. I don't believe in spoilers so I won't have much to say other than I lost a few nights sleep laying in bed watching this amazing movie in my head. Sherrilyn Kenyon is brilliant, and I'm going to start with the first book as soon as I finish the 6th.

Wow!
