The morally grey don’t want redemption. They want retribution.

After the brutal murder of her twin sister, Aurora 'Rory' Raven spends years forging herself into a ruthless vigilante killer.

She never gave up her search for the man who killed her sister, but when she is convicted of thirteen murders and sentenced to five-hundred years in Vincula, the prison realm, she knows her sister’s death will never be avenged.

After arriving in Vincula, Aurora discovers her opportunity for retribution is closer than she thought.

Caius is the notorious Umbra King, ruler of Vincula, King of the Monsters, and the thing nightmares are made of. After being locked in his own realm for a crime he didn’t commit, his only focus has been revenge.

When Aurora drops into his throne room, representing everything he despises, they begin a game of cat and mouse, and before long, their hatred turns into something else.

Circumstances draw them together, but revenge might tear them apart.

The Umbra King is book one in the Vincula Realm Duology, which is set in the Realms of the Aether multiverse. It ends on a cliffhanger.

Contains mature content.

I really don't read a lot of fantasy books and never smut but decided to jump into this one on a whim. I am so glad I did! The world building is fantastic and you really do connect with the characters, not just the main. I can't wait to listen to book two!

What great story!

This author needs more recognition!

Easy listen with great characters and plots. Narrators are great. The “touch her and die” romance is 5 star. And I loved that the world building was there, but not so detailed like some of these books lately that you have to re read every word and do a google to follow everything.

She’s a serial killer that has a gray soul. He’s the ruler of a massive fae prison. Her world is colorless until she meets him. So good!

So different from other fantasies!

Definitely took a long time to really get started. The romance part was anticlimactic and felt rushed

It was okay.

Narration is on point, storyline is unique and well done, and that cliffhanger has my anxiety level spiking in the best way 🥵🔥 You won’t regret this one!

Some of the best narration I’ve heard yet

So when I read the reviews, I was a little hesitant to give this a try. I’m glad I did. Is the writing a little juvenile like other reviews said? A little bit. But it wasn’t horrible. Is there believable romance? Yes. Is there a fairly good plot? Yes. Are there likable secondary characters? Yes. Several. Is the story overall good? Absolutely.

The plot is sort of predictable and some surprises too. But was it enjoyable? Definitely.

Performance wise, terrific. Though the female narrator made me chuckle a little at her version of the MMC. But they both did a terrific job.

Surprisingly enjoyed it
