About this listen

They call him the bone king.

A massive beast of a male who worships the gods and is all too willing to provide them their sacrifices. Human sacrifices. He and his warriors have come to visit Winterbren, a poor little village on the outskirts of Wrath and my home.

I’ve never been more grateful to be a thrall, for my low status will ensure that I remain outside of his notice. But when he requests—nay, requires—a willing female to warm his furs for the duration of his stay, his selection falls to me. All I can do is pray to the gods that I survive the night…

And beg the bone king for mercy.

This book contains dark themes, including a Black woman in the position of thrall, graphic depictions of torture, non-con, and discussions of early childhood abuse. A full list of warnings can be found on my website.

Sexy Viking King 🤴

I adore💕 all of Elizabeth Stephens books, and this one is no different. Great story, loveable characters, and the dark possessive MC's we grow to ❤️ in her novels and a FMC that puts him in his place. The narration, and the accents, makes this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨️ for me.

Amazing

This is one of the best stories I've heard in a very long time. This was a nonstop wild ride. I was screaming DAMN while listening to the prolouge. It's been years since I read/listened to a book that had me laughing out loud and talking back to the characters. Truly an enjoyable listen. The performers were outstanding and they brought the story to life.

To often I've listened to audio books were the performers gave nothing as they performed. That was not the case here, Job well done these performers could teach a master class. Also, I'll add that the story created by ES was a major reason they preformed so well.
This love story was short but impactful. The world ES created was wild and harsh but interesting. The characters had great chemistry and the difference in their two worlds explained a lot why they responded the way they did.

Love this story would recommend to anyone.

The plot was good. The FMC didn't piss me off. Not super spicy but definitely a good listen.

The narration

I loved the duet narration! The plot was simple but engaging and the narrators were excellent. No virtual voice.
