The Broken Ones

By: Danielle L. Jensen

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer, Erin Moon

Lovers of Romeo and Juliet’s tale of star-crossed romance will be swept away by this breathtaking retelling full of fantasy and magic.

Cursed to the confines of their underground city, an ancient rivalry between the most powerful troll families has reached a fevered pitch. At the heart of it is Pénélope d’Angoulême, a talented artist and the eldest daughter of a power-hungry duke. When Pénélope accidentally destroys her sister’s chance to become queen, her father gives her an ultimatum: find proof that Marc Biron, the right hand to their family’s greatest enemy, is guilty of treason. Or die trying.

The trouble is, she’s in love with him.

Together, Marc and Pénélope must navigate the complex politics and dangerous magic of their world. Powers on all sides are intent on using them as pawns, forcing them to risk everything for a chance at happiness.

Except being together will be the greatest risk of all…

A pretty good read!!

The story was pretty good, the drama and action was interesting and in a way everything for the most part got resolved.

No hot steamy scenes. Some romance and bits of funny parts but the world build some what ok, it would be nice if it had more , maybe on the next book?!The characters do seem interesting enough we’re you would like to hear more.

At the end you get a glimpse of the next book and it sounded interesting. Don’t get me wrong the story wasn’t bad I just didn’t feel that spark that pushes you to read the next book in the series.

Great Read

Good book. Can’t read second book of this collection as it has a great story!

The most beautiful saddest story

This book is soo well written and the narrators are amazing!!! Be prepared to cry and hear a story that will brake your heart and also give you a special love and compassion for the down trodden

A great addition to the series

A wonderful book. Na amazing beginnig to The Malediction Triology. Althought this book has been release after the conclusion, this book tell us how so many things starts, like the business relationship between Tristan and Anais, the rebelion, Marc’s dadness..
About the narration, I can say was very good, and made the book enjoyable. Perfect.

Sad to see it end

I loved this series. What i didn’t love was that Tristan and Marc sounded so similar that I often forgot who was talking and would confuse the two. It’s a sad but beautiful love story that really provides great background to the rest of the series.
