About this listen

Audible presents the start of a thrilling new enemies to lovers, sapphic romantasy trilogy, for fans of Sarah J Maas, Leigh Bardugo and Rebecca Yarros, performed by Jessie Mei Li (SHADOW AND BONE) and Freya Mavor (INDUSTRY)

In the kingdom of Eynhallow, Princess Ythsie is preparing to choose a husband, in order to secure the kingdom’s future. Everything changes when Stroma, a skilled fighter from a remote village, becomes her new bodyguard. As mysterious deaths rock the palace, Ythsie and Stroma uncover a web of ancient magic and deadly court intrigue. The princess discovers she has a rare and dangerous gift - the ability to communicate with the Deathless, Eynhallow's cursed undead army.

Amidst the chaos, rivalry blossoms into romance between the princess and her loyal squire. With enemies closing in and the fate of the kingdom at stake, Ythsie and Stroma must navigate treacherous alliances, their growing feelings for each other, and their own destinies. How far will they go to protect their love and save their homeland?

Captivating

This book stuck an excellent balance of fantasy that is easy to follow, and romance and doesn’t overtake the storyline. The main characters have substance and the world building was understandable and weaved into the plot.

An excellent read, and I can’t wait for the next book.

Cracking story

Enjoyed this, a fitting start to what I would imagine will become an epic saga if it continues in the same vein, very much worth the credit😁👍🏻

Solid novel

A bit vague on how the two main characters fell in love, but still a good story

Really really really really good

Ive got 2 hours left to listen of this story but I can honestly say right now that its the best story Ive listened to for some months. I really cant wait until the next book comes out. This is a rare find and one of the few I'll no doubt go back to listen to again in the future.

Brilliant story and delivery!

This is one of the best sword and sorcery tales I have read for some time. The intruige is carried throughout and keeps you completely immersed, while a slow romantic build up between two of the characters provides an equally enticing and seductive story-line. Can't wait for Pt2!

Darkly beautiful, fast-paced, and full of intrigue

Deathbound drew me in with the stunning worldbuilding and strong characters and kept me hooked with the political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and the mysterious forces looming in Eynhallow. A must read for those who like their fantasy a little dark...and deadly!

found by mistake, hooked from beginning

okay the English accents saying random Scots words at beginning bugged me, but OMFG isn't it great to hear a book in British English performed in British English. I must admit took me a while to realise there were 2 voice artists.
I must admit I wasn't looking for much, but it had me hooked, totally emersed in the story, listened right through and was actually upset the book ended so abruptly with no guide as to when the next is out. (Paper version of this on order)
unlike many of the books currently on offer of this genre you don't need to know any previous law about any supernatural creatures, it stands alone in its own world. I honestly cannot rave enough about it.
