About this listen

Can they survive the truth of their war? Can their hearts?

A century ago, an exchange was proposed: a life saved for a war of revenge.

Captain Lia Solus of the fae army, and the secret bastard daughter of the king, is reminded of those consequences daily. Unable to claim her heritage or her throne, she's powerless to stop the innocent bloodshed that her birth ushered in.

On the other side of the lines, Commander Jace Cadoria gladly fights the war of his ancestors to slaughter the fae who have terrorized the humans of their realm for generations. With a cunning plan to trap them, the end could finally be in sight. Except it quickly spirals out of control, leaving Lia and Jace, enemies of opposite sides, stranded together in a dangerous terrain.

Engaged in an intimate battle of their own, both warring to take control, they'll need their wits now more than ever to survive. Because this fight could cost their lives—and their hearts.

Throne of Glass meets House of the Dragon in The Forbidden Heir Trilogy, a fun and chaotic new take on fantasy, featuring enemies-to-lovers, modernized banter, dragons, heartache, adventure, and dark sorcery that grows throughout the series. This is told from multiple first-person POVs, including the villains, and is a character-driven romantic fantasy. The story will be enjoyed by lovers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Carissa Broadbent. For mature listeners.

What a story!

I’ve had this book on my TBR for what feels like forever and I’m so glad I finally read it! Emilia Jae had me hooked from the first few words. I have so many theories for the next books and I can’t wait to dive into them.

The narrators did an excellent job! My only complaint being that I wish they differed in the accents a little more so it’s easier to tell when the pov changes. I found myself having to go back to my listen screen to see who’s pov it was. Overall though I think they did great bringing the story to life!

soo good!

borderline perfection! It's enemies to lovers, star-crossed mates, badass MFC, fae romantacy.
Trigger warning: that eludes to sexual assault as a 3rd person as well as some groping and attempts to sexualy assault the MFC.

Pretty good

This was good. Probably wouldn’t have started it knowing it ends on a cliffhanger but I’m glad I did. The narrators did a good job. The story is a little predictable but it’s fast paced and easy to easy to read and listen to. Not sure I’ll continue right away but I’ll circle back when I need something to read.

This book has it all!

If you’re like me and you really enjoy fantasy books that don’t rely quite so heavily on steamy scenes (there’s all of like two such scenes in this book) but still have a worthy enemies to lovers feel, this is for you. While some of the plot is mildly predictable there were still parts that really threw me for a loop. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am off to get the second one on my kindle now!

Narration is awful, storyline is so predictable it’s frustrating

First off, the narration. The woman, who has done other books, does not have enough range to be considered good at this. Her tone is always pissed off, which is irritating. The male narrator is unfortunately the voice of the dickweed piece of crap ex, but he’s trying to be seductive. Sir, please. The character you’re narrating for is a piece of shit, please don’t try to make him attractive, it’s just making the horrible writing worse.

Now for the author note on the storyline itself. It’s not even funny how predictable this story line is. Nothing about this story is keeping my interest because by chapter 5, I can tell you everything that’s going to happen, who was responsible for everything, and why. Sad this was published.
