About this listen
Damned by gods and threaded by fates, two mortals must embrace the darkness to find their true destinies.
Lilith Clarke is supposed to be dead: murdered by the vicious King Oren, her blood staining a field of daisies. But death would have been merciful. After years of having no name, she is finally given a title: Queen of Umbra. But it will cost her everything. Lily is now bound to King Asher, the most powerful and brutal shadow divinus in all of Omnia. Forced to rule in secret, she slowly loses herself to the darkness. She fears it will swallow her whole.
Until he arrives, tugging an ancient thread deep within her soul.
Theodore Kincaid seeks justice in Umbra but falls captive to his sworn enemy, the ruthless King Asher. Trapped in the kingdom that killed his beloved, his fate seems sealed until a chance encounter with the secret Queen of Umbra offers him an opportunity he can’t resist.
Theo and the Queen each believe that they are in full control, but neither is prepared for what the fates have in store.
Amidst a realm on the brink of chaos, two souls collide in a heart-wrenching tale of unveiling secrets, conquering the darkness, and igniting a love that could save or destroy.
In The Shadows is the first book in a new series filled with forbidden romance, enemies-to-lovers, magical powers, fated mates, and political intrigue. It’s perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Fourth Wing, The Cruel Prince, One Dark Window, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
In The Shadows features mature content and themes that are not suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised. For all content warnings, please visit L.B.’s Instagram.

In a world where the sea has claimed most of the land, the once-mighty druadan faces extinction. Genetically engineered for ancient wars, these fiercely loyal horses are bonded to a single male rider. Centuries after the final battle, they now number less than a hundred, and the few remaining are housed in the island continent of Venovia in isolated farms. While searching for her missing sister at one such station, called Meridian, a shadowy threat emerges, sparking fears that the terrifying creatures from their past have returned.

Millicent Foxboro is haunted. Not by ghosts, but by the anguish of her past and the uncertainty of her future. After all, even in the progressive year of 1928, most people would balk at hiring a woman who’d spent two months in a mental ward for traumatic amnesia. So when an uncommon assistantship to a reclusive Professor of mythology falls into her lap with an ungodly salary attached, her desperation for stability overrides her cautious nature.

Wowowwowow!
Oh my gosh! What an incredible debut from L.B. August! The world building and lore is beautifully crafted (and I’m still sorting out puzzles that I know will get solved). The characters are so well rounded. Lily is of the best feisty badasses I’ve read recently. I love her relationships with Theo, Nyx, and Juniper. I can’t wait for the sequel!
Theo and Madi out did themselves with their performances, and I’m officially spoiled for duet narration. Little things, like explosive laughter were just as impressive as were the full emotional moments. I will forever listen to anything they narrate.
Seriously, do yourself a favor and buy the audiobook. It’s one of the best I’ve listened to all year.

Obsessed!!!!!
What was that ending?!😩
I need book two like yesterday!
I finished the first book in The Amari Series,by LB August, and I can’t get enough and I’m so ready for book two. The twists and turns and secrets were all so exciting. The strength and bad@ssery Shadow Mommy that is Lily had me biting my fist on more than one occasion! Cinnamon roll Theo with a filthy mouth has me in a puddle. And all the side characters were a perfect addition to this story! Easily a five star 💫 read for me. I listened to this book on Audible and Theo and Madi knocked it out of the park!
What To Expect:
🖤Neurodivergent bi strong FMC
🖤Cinnamon Roll MMC with a mouth on him
🖤Enemies to lovers but with a twist
🖤Found Family
🖤Forced Proximity
🖤Forbidden Love (shouldn’t be falling for the enemy queen. Or should we? 😈)
🖤Hidden Identities
🖤Fate/Star Crossed Lovers
🖤An amazing “good boy” moment 🥵🧎🏻♀️
🖤Romantasy
🖤Spice🌶️
🖤and so much more

Repetitive with a poor plot
1. the basic plot is about a woman with super powers but greatly suffers for a decade for a dude? and she doesn't even use her powers? wtf? AND she still doesn't really use them throughout the book. what's the point???
2. the dude, Theo, is totally brainwashed when he meets her again. he keeps repeating himself over and over and over again. including how he talks about his c@ck all the damn time. fast forward. boring.
3. where the f is the 2nd shadow king? where does he go? like girlfriend gotta do all the work, with none of the glory and she's good with that?
4. she has time to do it all apparently...fix up the kingdom, help her people, play ninja for money for royals, lots of training. but again is still "hidden in the shadows". lame
5. this book is just a lot of filler. if ya all are into super musher filler crap, then this sh!t is for you.
