His secret could kill him.
Karis is the arrogant young prodigy of the Radiant Order, and his talent gets him plenty of attention but very few friends. Under the order's prying eyes, there's one secret Karis has to hide at all costs: the meddling, un-paladin-like voice in his head. Sometimes the voice is helpful. Sometimes it gets him into trouble.
This time, trouble's name is Ronan.
Ronan does the dirty work. Anything for the trickster god he serves, no matter how tired he's getting. He's so used to deception, he wouldn't recognize real love if it bit him. When he's captured by the Radiant Order, he doesn't think twice before kidnapping a cute little squire to cover his escape. His new hostage is a lot more complicated than he expected.
Between escape attempts and counterspells, Karis keeps getting under Ronan's skin, and Ronan keeps getting inside Karis's head. And the longer they stay together, Karis starts thinking less about escaping, and more about how Ronan might taste.
But the conspiracy they're tangled in is far deadlier than they know.
Contains mature themes.

Tavia Lark is a new author for me. I went into this series based on nothing more than the cover of Book 1 piqued my interest, I didn't read the book summary, didn't read any reviews - went in completely blind and overall i'm pleased with the chance I took.
The worldbuilding is well constructed and I enjoyed the direction the overarching story took. There is more humour than the previous book, I liked Karis' character and having Ronan serve the trickster God proved to be entertaining. The story had a nice flow and a good pace, it's what I call an "easy listen" - something that can be listened to while doing something else without losing track of what's going on.
🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed Kai Rubio's performance, and with more experience under his belt he'll become a narrator i'll watch out for. He has good timing and inflections, captures the essence of the characters and has done a good job bringing the story to life. I did nudge the speed up a fraction (1.05x), but that was more for my personal preference and not anything against the narration.

Those characters are now highlighted, their motivations are surprisingly fresh, and the previous story deepens with a new spin in what this world holds.
I actually gasped and my heart heaved in the opening of the final chapter. So, well done with that!
The narration is really good. The voices are distinct, bring personality and charm to each character, and convey a breadth of complexity as the story unfolds. There are many longer pauses that could be tightened in editing, feeling slightly over-dramatic, and nothing that interferes with the flow.
Can’t wait for what comes next as this author continues to enchant and weave their storylines.
An unexpected richness to the story arc…
