About this listen

On the first day, she met her match. Then she killed 16 men.

Tossed into the gladiator arena, the delicate girl in the fancy pink dress should have been the first to die. Leyli had other plans. Surviving was at the top of her list. Revenge was a close second.

Having grown up behind the sheltered walls of the Oberhame Palace, she knew what the crowd wanted. She'd just become a pawn in the games of men. But why was she still alive? They'd killed her brother, the heir to the throne. Had they gotten to her father? Was the king dead?

In the cell beside her, the Lion of Lenlochlien was impressed. When he offered advice, she took it. When she kept coming back after each round, he dared to hope she'd survive. He had no idea he was about to become her best weapon.

Leyli didn't just want to live through the games, she wanted to protect her father's throne, but to do that, she had to become someone else. The Lion had to make her a Wolf.

Chained side by side, he'll show her how to be a killer. She'll give him a reason to keep fighting. Together, they'll learn it takes a friend to survive.

The Wolf and Lion are perfect together!!!

I love this series! Following the storyline of the Wolf and Lion was very intense and heartwarming as well as joyful and romantic! The different characters interlaced within the three novels and that befriend them is extremely entertaining and gratifying to help them along their journey.

Overall a decent listen

There is some flaws in the storyline logic and world building. The author also bashes you over the head with the narrative at times. In particular the amount of times the two MCs mention sleeping together is a line they won’t cross is ridiculous. I got it the first time, no need to keep bringing it up every time to establish the theme. This could be the result of a new author and if the author improves at their craft they have the potential to be one of my favorites. I think the story feels fresh and is enjoyable despite its flaws. I will try the next book in the series.

In love

I loved this story of finding inner strength and growing from the journey. Finding that one person to have your back no matter what is a real gift. Finding that person in the most unlikely of places is a blessing.

Loved Ley and Tristan! The Romance is slow burn but so much more believable than most books…loved all the characters and the narration. I will definitely be downloading the next book immediately 😆

Great story to READ

Worst narrator. Why? She talks through her nose. Listening to her is frustrating and I want to pinch her nose
