About this listen
This is what the Black Blades spent their lives fighting for.
Their people have learned what hope tastes like. Humanity has finally recognized them as more than just beasts to be discarded, and they're winning. With millions of grauori pouring down from the mountains, nothing can stand in their way. Once little more than a unit of soldiers, the Black Blades have become the saviors of their entire species.
It's all because of Salryc Luxx. The last Kaisae of the Iliri, chosen only because the Emperor slaughtered the rest of her kind, she has nothing left to lose—or so she thought—but the Emperor is done playing games. He knows who she is, and he's not ready to give up. He's determined to make her pay.
In her darkest hour, Sal's past will come back to haunt her, the Blades will pull together, and borders become unimportant. Survival will require the one thing the Kaisae of all Iliri has perfected: refusing to give up.
A.H. Hadley is the fantasy persona of the international best selling author Auryn Hadley. Only the pen name has changed, the stories you'll enjoy have not changed.
Like all the books in this series, Rise of the Iliri is a complete epic science-fantasy novel, without a cliffhanger.
Because of adult content, this may make it unsuitable for humans under 18.

Story
Shara Isador’s back for justice… and Blood. Her first match with the queen of Rome might have temporarily ended in a draw, but she has plenty of other battles brewing. Taking her seat at the Triskeles Triune brings immense new power to House Isador. And for a vampire queen, with great power comes great hunger. To sustain and feed her new power, she needs more Blood. Desperately. Before the Dauphine can attack her nest again. She already turned Shara’s dead mother into a walking zombie to send a nasty message.

Story
Running to Summerpoint to avoid my failed love life may have seemed drastic, but I'd just inherited a house from a distant relative. The timing was perfect, almost like magic. But the cottage is in need of repairs, the place is in the middle of a forest, and I'm not used to small towns. Then I meet my new contractors. Sexy doesn't begin to describe them. The flirting flows easily, and while they're a well-established couple, it seems they may have room for more. Even better, these guys are quickly getting to be a lot more than just friends.

Story
Being a teenager is bullshit. You'd think being an heir in one of most powerful families in predator society would make it easier, but you'd be dead wrong. From the moment I was old enough, my bloodthirsty parents made sure I understood my job is to smile, nod, and look pretty in public. None of my choices are my own, including my friends, my future, and even my hairstyle. The only sliver of happiness I cling to is my boyfriend, Todd, and attending Apex Academy where I'll be free of the chains holding me down.

All I wanted was to find answers to who I was. No one knew who had abandoned the gray-eyed baby with fiery red hair and a cry loud enough to make a man's nuts retract. I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

Intelligence, electronic eyes, computer hacking—I do it all. My singular goal is to bring my clients home safely. Some clients are more special than others. We all play favorites.

My best friend just hired me for a great job, with perks like a rent-free house right beside not just one handsome man, but five! Each one is hotter than the last, and all of them seem interested in me. But everyone around us has these strange golden eyes...and there are the questions no one will answer. And who cares if there's a lot of wildlife running around at night? I do, especially when a wolf keeps sneaking into my backyard.

My whole life has been characterized by fighting; fighting my family and fighting for my life. Trust me—the first one is completely voluntary, and a lot of fun. The second? Not so much. To say my family dynamic is weird is the understatement of the century. I held my first sword when I was only five years old, and I learned how to dispose of a body before I turned ten. I may have a penchant for pink and sparkles…but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to kick major ass as well.

Chosen over the nobles who once looked down on him, he is adopted into a makeshift family of three ancient cultivators, each with a lifetime of knowledge and insights.

Love this series
These books in this series are gripping and so very good. From the beginning I read the series and now I’m listening to it! Hate it in some moment love it in others. Characters grab you and hold on through every book. Can’t wait for book six!

Phenomenal as always!
Absolutely phenomenal. Every minute and every penny spent on this series is so worth it. Auryn Hadley has built a world you won’t just visit—you’ll live in it. Start with book one and trust me, you’ll be hooked. And Christina Cato? She didn’t just narrate this beloved series—she conquered it. With a fan base this devoted, the pressure was sky-high… but Cato didn’t just rise to the challenge, she soared. Her performance is flawless—emotional, powerful, and utterly unforgettable.

Epic novel expertly acted by Christina Cato
I love this series. It’s incredible. But, be warned. It’s extremely bloody. Lots and lots of blood. Christina Cato is masterful in her acting. Every character has a different voice - not just pitch but cadence and tempo. It’s hard to believe it’s one actor.
This is the fifth book in Hadley’s epic Rise of the Iliri series. Be prepared to go through the emotional wringer in a good way.
