About this listen
From best-selling author Randi Cooley Wilson comes a new novella in her Royal Protector Academy series.
Zander Argyris never expected to reign over the Woodland Realm. He preferred living in the shadow of his stepbrother, Tristan Gallagher, being second in command of the Royal Guard, and spending his days charming nymphs - until Magali.
The last thing Magali Grayson needs is to get her heartbroken, again. After falling for her Academy friend, Ryker, and then watching him fall even harder for her roommate, Ireland, Magali never really left room in her heart for someone else - until Zander.
Zander never expected Magali. For a satyr, the lowest form of supernatural creature, gargoyles are, well - off-limits. And falling in love with one would be dangerous. Especially one who is the best friend and roommate of his brother’s mate.
Magali can’t deny her immediate connection with Zander. And even though she wasn’t looking for love, it found her. However, as with everything in their world, secrets, and bloodlines have a way of rewriting destinies. Will Zander risk everything for the one who has captivated him? Or will he accept a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself?
A King Rises is a companion novella in The Royal Protector Academy series - a dangerously exciting and darkly romantic paranormal romance series that will take your breath away. RPA can be read as a standalone trilogy or after the bestselling Revelation series. Intended for mature listeners.
Zander was a 2017 UTOPiA Award Nominee for Best Bestie or Buddy

Story
My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me. Which could spell death for us all.

Story
Soon-to-be college freshman Evie Claremont had hoped that once she'd arrived on Crestwood's campus, the nightmare that she'd been having would go away. It hasn't. She may be an inexperienced 17-year-old, but she's grounded... sane. She looks for rational explanations to even the strangest circumstances. Since meeting sophomore Reed Wellington, however, nothing makes any sense. Whenever he's near, she feels an attraction to him - a magnetic kind of force pulling her toward him.

After devoting 18 years of his life to the US Navy, Petty Officer First Class Shane Parker is struggling with the very real possibility of becoming unnecessary. If he doesn't make chief petty officer before he's 20 - and it doesn't seem likely that he will - he'll be retired from active service and placed on the Fleet Reserve list until his mooring lines are officially cut forever. While it would all be very honorable and ceremonial, he simply wasn't civilian material.

Story
I have a simple plan. Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university. One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke. One glance and he suffocates my air. One glance and he issues his death sentence. His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos. “I will destroy you.” Everything about Aiden King is black. Black mind. Black heart. Black soul. I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left. I didn’t. I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.

The narrators has strong rich complementary voices that made for an enjoyable listen. This did come down to a little silly toward the end. One character said it just right “it’s like watching a train wreck”. I felt out of my depths, like a big part of the story was missing or at the very least connecting information.

The narration is spot on! Kale Williams is amazing as Zander. He brings out the strong leader he is and the passion he feels. Then Lily Ward comes in as Magali and she is brilliant. She falls into character, with her strength, her pain and her love. It's a great narration!

The characters were AH-MAZING!! I loved getting to know Zander and following him on his journey!! I made a real connection with him and all the other characters!!
The story-line was phenomenal!! The author did a fantastic job of keeping me wanting to listen to the story. I also loved the emotions that came out of the book and at times I found myself laughing out loud or I wanted to cry and there were some OMG moments too.
The narrators did a remarkable job making the story come to life!! The changes in the voices as they read each character made me want to listen in and pay attention. They made this story so much fun to listen to and I couldn't help but listen. Powerful voices made me love this story. I highly recommend it!!
Remarkable Story

On the performance side I felt a few scenes were not flowing well as they should as the female narrator paused in places that normally speaking one would not pause. It took me a little bit to get past that annoyance. I found myself changing the speed read on her parts to help that along, but that is something I would want to have to do on a longer book if narrators are switching off a lot. Hopefully if she continues reading for this character she will get a better feel for the characters & adjust her flow accordingly.
Found a whole new world to escape to!
