About this listen

Cara knows one thing for certain: She won't become a prostitute like her mother. But it seems that she cannot escape her fate -- until a chance friendship leads her to a place she would never expect: the glittering palace of the House of Dorsa, where every smile hides a knife.

Cara is thrust into a world of politics and intrigue that she barely understands. She discovers an unexpected ally in Fin, the stable master’s daughter. Their friendship deepens into something more, but desire in the palace can be deadly -- for both of them.

To survive, Cara must risk everything: her freedom, her love, and perhaps the fate of the realm itself.

In the Shadow of the Palace is the first book in A Tide of Shadows, the prequel series to the Chronicles of Dorsa. You do NOT need to have listened to the Chronicles of Dorsa to enjoy this book.

This storyline is fantastic and starts this epic journey of 2 lowly girls that embark on a path that will change history in the great house of Dorsa forever.
It is so well written and narrated that it is a pure joy to listen to that I loved it and want more.
I can't wait for the next instalment on this rocky dangerous road and I recommend that you take it with them. 💯 🎧 🎶

FANTASTIC START TO AN EPIC JOURNEY.

I devoured this Chronicles of Dorsa prequel in one weekend. Great story in it's own right with multi-dimensional characters and some unexpected but never disappointing plot twists. Looking forward to the next installment in this series and already imagining what will happen to the main characters next. Excellent performance, as in the other audiobooks. The book is fine to listen to before the aforementioned series.

Great
