Realm of Dragons and Fae, Book 1

By: Alisha Klapheke

Narrated by: Caitlin Davies

Kill the Fae king, or die.

Raised to cut throats, hunt Unseelie monsters, and ride dragons, Berserker-blooded Revna is the best of the best. But she has been assigned the impossible. Her king demands that she kill the ruthless Fae king.

With no other options, Revna must glamour herself and hide among the Fae king’s bevy of potential mates. But all of her training will be useless if she can’t figure out how to feign love.

Lysanael never wanted to be king of the Fae. Partially because politics disgust him but mostly because the king must beget an heir. Because of a terrifying secret, he refuses to risk mating and fights to conceal his dark past.

A feigned courtship may be the only way through for both of them, but will their ruse save them, or will the plan only tangle their hearts in unimaginable ways?

Set in a lush medieval fantasy world, The Fae King’s Assassin is a standalone spicy fantasy romance with a guaranteed Happily Ever After (HEA). Start listening today to enjoy tension-filled banter, the wilds of an ancient kingdom, vicious heroines, and deliciously dangerous Fae.

Fantastic character development and action.

I stayed up all night listening. I love the action and romance in her books.

wonderful

This book gave me How to Train Your Dragon meets God of War vibes, and I'm all for it! From the very beginning, I loved the characters and story. The setting is very interesting, and the character development is perfection. You won't regret reading this one! 💖

The story itself

Amazing. Wonderful. It’s everything. I absolutely love this book, from the plot twist to the story line. I love it

Entertaining

Interesting and fun story. The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life.

It was very predictable.

The narrator’s voice sounds stilted and canned. There are brief moments of smoothness, but overall harsh to listen o with little emotion.

idk...

I finished it. it has some good parts but not a lot of good details. some parts are rushed. not my favorite but also not the worst.

Great Story, weak ending.

Story and world building was great. Everything got so big and complex that wrapping everything up at the end was super rushed and not as satisfying.

Frustrating narration

The story was fine. Nothing too original, but entertaining enough. The narrator…This was the first time I’ve ever had to adjust the speed of a book (to 0.9x). It’s not just that she spoke fast, it’s that it was hard to differentiate when sentences ended and new ones began. Maybe she needs to work on inflection?? I found it overall very distracting at regular speed, but slowing it down did help a bit.

Decent but rushed

I wish the story had some more bulk and building. It could have been epic but went fast. Quick listen and fun but I wanted more…

Great narrator and story

I really enjoyed this one. The story had a nice flow to it and the narration was great. Very little spice near the end and it was pretty vague, not closed door but cracked.
