About this listen

Once upon a time, in a parallel universe, there existed the continent of Triton....

The land was filled with beauty, but it was also splintered by war.

Out of the chaos grew a conspiracy to reawaken the Beast, a fearsome creature who wrought only tragedy and devastation. The only way to stop him is to fulfill an ancient prophecy: Triton’s four strongest warriors must wed its four most powerful witches, binding all nations together and finally bringing peace to the land.

This is the beginning of the story of their unions: the quiet maiden Silence and the savage King Mars. The cold warrior Cassius and the fiery witch Elena. The steadfast soldier True and the banished beauty Farah. And the pirate King Aramus and his mysterious Queen Ha-Lah.

Their unions will not be easy, but each couple must succeed....

The fate of their world is at stake.

I wasn’t sure if this was my thing. There are a lot of characters that are individually narratored and haven’t listened to a audio with so many. How wrong I was was to hesitate. Having so many narrators made it easy to immediately distinguish the different characters. All the narrators are 5🌟. Kristen Ashley is a Legend, I truly don’t know how her mind conjures up these stores but I’m so thankful that she does. I’m am hooked!!

Utterly captivating

Honestly one of the best audiobooks I've listened to! It has such a great romance throughout the series. The performers are great. It feels like you're watching a movie. Great plot, great entertainment. Truly enjoyed!

It takes me about 45 minutes to drive to work and back, each way. This is my audible time. It took a few chapters to get started, but boy, once the characters and plot is sorted, I couldn't stop listening. I even spent and extra few minutes in the car park just listening. The characters are brought to life by the many readers, which makes them quickly identifiable throughout the book. Absolutely loved the story. Can't wait to continue the story.

Once it gets going, you cannot stop.

I just love this series, even if this book can be a little confusing due to all the povs. When I first read it I had to re-read straight away because I needed to get a grip of all the characters. Despite that, it is a enchanting series, set in the same parallel universe as Fantasyland but another continent. The interaction of the 4 couples is quite interesting and full of sexual tension. The priests are unbelievable, it's very easy to dislike them.....so much more to happen. Can't wait.

Confusing but really addicting w/ amazing cast

There was so many characters in this book that I gave up trying to remember who was who!! It’s a great storyline. And a great performance from this whole cast of narrators.

So many characters
