About this listen

The seventh daughter of the Sea King, Ekaterina is more than a pampered princess - she's also the family spy. Which makes her the perfect emissary to check out interesting happenings in the neighboring kingdom...and nothing interests her more than Sasha, the seventh son of the king of Belrus. Ekaterina suspects he's far from the fool people think him. But before she can find out what lies beneath his facade, she is kidnapped!

Trapped in a castle at the mercy of a possessive Jinn, Ekaterina knows her chances of being found are slim. Now fortune, a fool, and a paper bird are the only things she can count on - along with her own clever mind and intrepid heart....

One of her best stories!

I loved this one! The story was fantastic and I loved the narrators! The romance was so believable, I would say more but I'll probably give something away. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Love Mercedes Lackey!

I have read or listened to the books by Mercedes Lackey for years. Some, we had the books, in paper no less, and then purchased the audiobook. Now I listen to stories I have already (text or audiobook) and still enjoy them. Her plots are interesting and the character development is great. She always has the perfect narrator, this time Gabra Zackman. Definitely recommend this audiobook!

Addicted to this series!

I love these stories, each is very loosely based upon a fairy tale. This one is The Little Mermaid because of a mermaid and a land guy, however that is the only similarity. These books are easy to listen to and have creative plots.

Surprising

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Jinn has the same ideas about hiding things as Madam Hecuba. Only a few people are going to get that reference so it's not really a spoiler.

Adult fairytale

A fun engaging fairytale and well read. I really loved it but could have done with less graphic sex.

lovely story telling of a delightful twist on clasic tales.

My favorite fantasy series

When I just want a fun get away, these books are my go-tos. And Gabra Zachman's narration is icing on the cake.
