Publisher's summary

The stunning conclusion of a worldwide phenomenon - from the boldly original author of Captive Prince and Prince's Gambit.

His identity now revealed, Damen must face his master, Prince Laurent, as Damianos of Akielos, the man Laurent has sworn to kill. On the brink of a momentous battle, the future of both their countries hangs in the balance. In the south, Kastor's forces are massing. In the north, the Regent's armies are mobilizing for war. Damen's only hope of reclaiming his throne is to fight together with Laurent against their usurpers. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two princes journey deep into Akielos, where they face their most dangerous opposition yet. But even if the fragile trust they have built survives the revelation of Damen's identity, can it stand against the Regents final, deadly play for the throne?

Perfection.

Absolute favorite books. So so so good. The writing, it's incapsulating. Once you get pulled in, you're done .. you have to finish it.

I wish there was a prequel and an epilogue for these characters. They're so interesting.

I didn’t want it to end!

Like Damen, Laurent stole my heart. These two fought hard for their kingdoms and their love and deserved their HEA.

Fantastic Book!

I absolutely loved every minute of this book. The twists and turns and emotions involved took me on a roller coaster ride of thrills, excitement and love. Damon and Laurent are couples goals and I really hope we get to see more of them in future books.

A "King's Unite" for the story/B- for narration

I gave this audiobook an A for the story and B- for the narration at AudioGals.

Narrated by Stephen Bel Davies

Please note this is the third installment of a story that must be read in sequential order. If you have not yet started the Captive Prince series, please see the AudioGals review for book 1, Captive Prince, as the below review contains spoilers for the prior books. Additionally, for the general background of this fantasy, medieval like story, please also see the review for the first book.

Kings Rising is a fantastic conclusion to a memorable and unique M/M, fantasy-based trilogy. Even during a difficult time, evacuating from Hurricane Irma, when most other books couldn’t hold my attention, Kings Rising was one of the few books that was able to grab my attention and provide me with a respite from the stress of my personal situation. So that speaks volumes at how well written this story is. Moreover, I enjoyed the progression of the political and romantic subplots of this story. This is a Game of Thrones-style saga that will definitely keep you glued to your earbuds until the last minute!

Book 3 picks up where book 2 leaves off: the truth of Damen’s background has been revealed. In the meantime, both Damen and Laurent are dealing with turbulent political times that will determine whether they will be able to keep their rightful places at the throne of their respective Kingdoms or whether they will die as a result of their legitimate claims. Interestingly, as forces keep calling their positions in doubt, their united forces may just be the answer to each other’s plights. But how will Laurent deal with Damen’s revelation that he is not a slave, but instead the man who killed his brother and the rightful King of Akielos, the arch nemesis of Vere, Damen’s Kingdom? Moreover, when the truth becomes known that Damen has knelt at Laurent’s feet, will Damen still be able to command the respect of a King, or will his people refuse to follow and abandon him?

Loved it

I wish there were more stories Like this. As an old fanfiction Drarry addict this was right up my alley! Great ending.

Not too much graphic xxx - which Is a breath of fresh air bc a lot of M/M books are Way too graphic (and Way too quickly) with no building up at all. Here the focus is the story, the amazing characters and the plot!

Great!

This is the third book in the captive prince trilogy, and indeed a climax.
The author put the mcs through hell to have them emerge strong and sure of the path they should take. It was not an easy read for me. But so well written that it was worth it
