Audiobook. Prequel to the Daindreth's Assassin series.

Daindreth had spent most of his life learning to ignore the voice in his head, but that didn’t stop the demon—the cythraul—from speaking.

Daindreth Fanduillion has learned to live with it after inheriting the curse that drove his father mad, but a sorceress’s assassination attempt changes everything. She fails, but temporarily frees him from the demon that has plagued him for more than half his life.

To his surprise, Daindreth learns that she is Amira Brindonu, half-sister to his betrothed and daughter of a sworn enemy. Guilty of high treason, she should be sent to the gallows, but Amira is his only hope and Daindreth is willing to pay any price for the chance at a cure.

Against the advice of his friends and advisors, he becomes determined to do whatever he must to win her over into his service—if she doesn’t kill him first.

Then again, losing his life seems a small price to pay for the chance to save his soul.

 The Archduke is a 18,500-word companion novella telling the story of Amira and Daindreth’s meeting from Daindreth’s point of view. It can be read before or after Daindreth’s Assassin.

very good 'read'

I was very well entertainend by this book. It features interesting characters that have room to grow and learn. Characters with weaknesses who are still badasses and will fight for who they love and what they feel is important. Even when they do not start out strong, free and self-determined... or especially then. It's a treat to have the author narrating the book herself.

Wonderful story!

I really enjoyed this novella, I wish it went for the whole book!
Not sure if it was an issue with my phone/app, but every other page or so, I’d have a line or two repeated during the audio, which could be distracting. Other than that, it was amazing!

Only six chapters in…

And I’ve already squeed, scoffed, chuckled, and stared off into the distance.
I’m so glad we get to revisit these characters and see consequences in the world from the first series. I adore Wheatley’s exploration of trauma and self-identity in characters that may look like they’ve got it together but very much do not.

I hate audio books BUT I LOVE THIS ONE!!

I usually cannot handle listening to audio books they usually trigger a meltdown but I wanted to try it out again in a low stakes kinda way and I love this one! Elisabeth's voice and characterizations were so amazing and almost soothing. I love the story and I love it from his point of view, I am going to buy the rest of the series on audiobook as well! I may not be an audiobook convert but I am a Stan of Elisabeth Wheatley's audiobooks!
