About this listen

We still worship the sleeping fae, though their magic only remains within a few of us.

Locked away for twelve years, Sabine Darrow's only friends are animals she communicates with using magic. Now, sold as a bride to a villainous high lord, her greatest fear is trading one prison for another. But a potential escape lies in the form of her gruff yet achingly handsome guard, whose loyalty she is determined to break.

A huntsman with heightened senses, Basten "Wolf" Bowborn has more important things to do than transport his master's new bride. With ancient creatures reawakening along the kingdom's border wall, he is torn between his duty and his desire to investigate—until a forbidden attraction becomes an unyielding obsession.

Welcome to Astagnon—a kingdom of cruel games and corrupted courts, where the only thing more dangerous than the secrets slumbering underground is falling for the one person you can't have.

Drawing inspiration from Snow White and the Lady Godiva legend, White Horse Black Nights is a dark enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance that will take you on a journey you'll never forget. This captivating story of a girl with a special gift is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout!

The story

This story was a little chaotic tbh. I didn’t care for the narration, so I’ll probably read the next one physically but the story was crazy enough that I’m intrigued lol

Surprisingly enjoyed

This is not my typical book. At first, I did not like the prosody of the female reader but she grew on me quickly. I do not love crass for the sake of it, and I feel like the language of the sex and body parts crossed that line for me. I fast forwarded through some of that. The main love story is a little contrived and was very predictable. The back and forth seems a little tired. The far story and mystery is interesting enough that I will read book 2.

Interesting story

Good character development, easy to follow story. Enjoyed the internal struggle of loyalties and sexual desire. Now I need book 2.

Very Entertaining!

I wouldn’t consider myself ta harsh critic. I have enjoyed the ACOTAR series thoroughly, as well as fourth wing, and I really like this series, though I can’t tell if there’s a third and final book out yet or not. I certainly hope so. As a reader, I like closure. I liked the detail in the spicy scenes, it didn’t seem perverse or crass to me. I find it very s3x positive which challenges purity culture and love that. I thought I would describe their lovemaking as light BDSM or vanilla - adjacent if you will. I would have liked more build up of the romance because the enemies to lovers trope is better when it’s a painful slow burn. Getting the pace and character development right on enemies to lovers is tricky though. I almost thought we’d get a love triangle and I’m almost sad we didn’t. Still this was very captivating. I finished the first and second audiobooks in the span of a week or so, I’d say. I liked the imagery quite a bit and I really liked the exchange of first person narration between the two main characters. Also give props because I don’t find the FMC annoying and I appreciate the characters seem to be in the mid 20s which is refreshing. Trigger warning: in this series there is an attempted r@pe but it is not graphic, lots of violence, some gore or disturbing imagery, lots of use of the f-word (though no more than how I might use that word haha - so it didn’t bug me). This book gave me a DnD vibe and oddly enough reminds me of mine and my husband’s DnD characters. Picture a barbarian and a Druid. I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed unless you fancy yourself a tough critic. I’m just happy to escape into any well written and captivating fantasy.

It gets better at the end

It is painfully contrived in the beginning, but the ending is worth it. Will listen to the second book.

What an interesting concept.

This was such a cool concept. Im not rocking with Lord Rian for making my girl ride bucked naked through towns. I like Wolf and then I didnt like Wolf. I thought the FMC being godkissed. She was giving Snow White. Fun read and I am definitely interested in the rest of the series.

The Romantic Tension is Top Notch

The plot itself was very slow and mild up until the very end of the book. However, the tension between Wolf and Sabine was intense, the narrators did a great job with their performances. I’m intrigued enough to continue the series because I think the action will pick up from here.

A Spellbinding Tale of Love, Magic, and Redemption

“White Horse Black Nights” by Evie Marceau, narrated by Phillipa Miller and Walker Williams, is a captivating dark fantasy romance that masterfully intertwines elements of classic tales like Snow White and Lady Godiva. 

The story introduces us to Sabine Darrow, a young woman endowed with the unique ability to communicate with animals—a gift marking her as “godkissed.” After being confined for twelve years, Sabine is sold as a bride to the formidable high lord, Rian Valvere. Her journey to his domain requires her to travel unclothed on horseback for 21 days, accompanied by the enigmatic huntsman, Basten “Wolf” Bowborn, whose heightened senses and complex persona add depth to the narrative. 

The novel excels in its rich world-building, painting the kingdom of Astagnon as a realm filled with ancient magic, political intrigue, and reawakening creatures. The chemistry between Sabine and Wolf is palpable, evolving from initial animosity to a profound, forbidden attraction that keeps readers engaged. Their dynamic is further enriched by well-crafted dialogue and a slow-burning romance that feels both authentic and enthralling. 

Narrators Phillipa Miller and Walker Williams deliver stellar performances, bringing the characters to life with emotive and nuanced portrayals that enhance the listening experience. Their narration adds an extra layer of immersion, making the audiobook a compelling choice for fans of the genre. 

Overall, “White Horse Black Nights” is a beautifully written tale that seamlessly blends fantasy and romance. It’s a must-read for enthusiasts of dark, enemies-to-lovers stories, offering a journey that’s both unforgettable and deeply satisfying.
