About this listen
Soren’s world is shattered when her father’s body is found near the border of Draestel.
The archeologist left instructions for his daughter in the event of his death. Soren is to find and destroy the artifact that he was killed for, a magical object with the power to unmake all of Entheas. As she closes in on finding answers, she is kidnapped and taken to the Mountains of Thorncrest. There, she is surprised to find that her captor is not only the dark stranger she has been dreaming about, but the killer’s son. Everything she once knew unravels around her as she discovers the reason for her imprisonment. Thrust into a world that she didn’t know existed, she finds herself growing close to the man she is supposed to hate.
Will she find a way to escape and avenge her father? Or will she fall for the Prince of Ravens?
Secrets and Songbirds is N.J. Rodman's debut Fantasy Romance Novel. It is the first of a series and includes tropes such as enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, fated mates, and forced proximity, just to name a few. It is a loose Beauty and the Beast retelling set in the world of Entheas. Secrets and Songbirds features a strong female lead battling anxiety and grief following the loss of her father. Side characters include a best friend who is trying to get over an abusive past and a lovable boy who provides comedic relief between the more serious themes throughout the book.
Content Warnings: Physical Abuse, Anxiety, Gore, Death, Grief, Profanity, and Sexually Explicit Scenes

Story
They call me a slut. Maybe I am. Sometimes I do things I despise. Sometimes men take without asking. But I have a musical gift, only a year left of high school, and a plan. With one obstacle. Emeric Marceaux doesn’t just take. He seizes my will power and bangs it like a dark note. When he commands me to play, I want to give him everything. I kneel for his punishments, tremble for his touch, and risk it all for our stolen moments.

He enters the car accompanied by a chill from the evening wind and the car rocks gently, until he’s seated behind me and the door is shut. His scent fills my lungs first and as it does, I remember that I’ve been told that smell is the sense that holds the most memory. Maybe I read it somewhere, but I’ve never known something to be truer than that fact is now.

Her specialty is making a rose bear in under 20 minutes or pulling together a bouquet that says "I'm sorry, honey, you're always right".

For a decade, I’ve hated the supernaturals who owned my world. I hunted them. I killed them. And now, in the most grand twist of fate - I am bonded to one of them. Oh, the irony. Being a supernatural bounty hunter isn’t exactly a popular job. But after the magic wars, there aren’t many things a human can do that will put food on the table.
