Publisher's summary

Two elven sisters become imprisoned in the intoxicating world of the fae, where danger and love lie in wait. Faebound is the first book in an enchanting new trilogy from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Final Strife.

“A romantic fantasy of epic proportions, crackling with magic and passion.”—Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree

Yeeran was born on the battlefield, has lived on the battlefield, and one day, she knows, she’ll die on the battlefield.

As a warrior in the elven army, Yeeran has known nothing but violence her whole life. Her sister, Lettle, is trying to make a living as a diviner, seeking prophecies of a better future.

When a fatal mistake leads to Yeeran’s exile from the Elven Lands, both sisters are forced into the terrifying wilderness beyond their borders.

There they encounter the impossible: the fae court. The fae haven’t been seen for a millennium. But now Yeeran and Lettle are thrust into their seductive world, torn among their loyalties to each other, their elven homeland, and their hearts.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains a map and journal from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Could not get past the narrator

I liked the lgtbq representation and the effortless inclusion. However it was a constant battle do to the childish style of narration. Also found the ending very rushed compared to rest of the book

Interesting story, narrator is meh

This was a great story, interesting and I was genuinely surprised by some of the twists. The narrator on the other hand almost made me quit a few times. I think they would make a better narrator for children’s stories.

The tale is captivating

The story is just enough fantasy to be real. This authors use of words is amazing to me. I can create a vivid picture in my mind of everything happening in this tale.
