About this audiobook

All Reia ever wanted was freedom.

Known as a harbinger of bad omens and blamed for Demons eating her family, Reia is shunned by her entire village. When the next offering is due and the monstrous Duskwalker is seen heading their way, her village offers her an impossible choice – be thrown into the prison cells or allow herself to be sacrificed to a faceless monster.

However, he is not what he seems. His skull face and glow eyes are ethereal, and she finds herself unwittingly enchanted by him.

All Orpheus ever wanted was a companion.

Each decade, in exchange for a protection ward from the Demons that terrorise the world, Orpheus takes a human offering to the Veil – the place he lives and the home of Demons. The brief companionship does little to ease his loneliness, and their lives were always, unfortunately, cut short.

He'd thought it was a hopeless endeavour, until he met her. She’s not afraid of him, and his insatiable desire deepens

within every moment of her presence.

But will Orpheus be able to convince Reia to stay before she’s lost to him forever?

Ratings and reviews

While this book isn't masterful prose and anachronistic language sometimes pulls you right out of it, I'll be damned if I haven't read and listened to this book 5 or more times in the few months since I bought it. The story is good enough to compensate for those shortcomings and the male voice actor is exactly the voice I imagined for the too cute for words Orpheus. I look forward to watching this writer develop in her craft.

Great book! I've seen it around but just haven't had the time to read it. I'm glad it's finally an audio here. The voice for Orpheus is awesome. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Great story! Wasn't 100% on the voices at first but got used to them quickly and by the end I liked them alot ^^
