About this listen

A world the gods forgot.

Of all the worlds and life they created, the gods favored their children the most. But with that favor came the fear that their Legacy would one day become too powerful and overthrow them. Devram was created. A realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods gave their Legacy the best of all the worlds, and then they left, a sworn agreement to never return and to never interfere.

A historical event.

Forced to a life of servitude, the Fae are required to provide for the Legacy in more ways than one. Every five years, the eligible Fae are gathered for the Selection and assigned to serve in one of the six Kingdoms. To be chosen as the personal Source for a Kingdom Heir is the greatest honor, and for the first time in a millennia, all six Kingdoms have heirs choosing a Source. But their selections could tip the power balance a little too far.

A chosen that was never meant to be.Tessalyn Asura was as forgotten as the realm. But when she finds herself the personal Source to the Heir of Endings, she winds up serving in the darkest Kingdom of them all. The secrets within the Arius Kingdom are meant to be learned and kept, but this was never the life she wanted. Fighting not only the fate thrust upon her, but the temptation to lose herself to desire, Tessa will do anything to escape her new destiny. Until she starts to realize maybe their world wasn’t as forgotten as they thought, and maybe she’s the reason why.

Rain of Shadows and Endings is book one in The Legacy Series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is new adult dark fantasy romance series and includes elements that may be triggering to some listeners.

if you want to read a nice book and relax, this one will not be for you. I wasn't a fan of both main characters and there is a lot happening that will not raise your mental health. still a great read but would not read again

disappointed

….. to develop a whole new world with life rules and castes. It was a shame IMO that Laura Horowitz couldn’t have performed the whole story. I found the male narration to be quite staid and maybe it was the accent but there were several words he just couldn’t deliver properly- unfortunately I have noted he reads the next two books as well. So obviously others don’t feel the same. I just speed his voice up when it comes on so I don’t miss out on the story.

Looking forward to the next instalment. Melissa K Rauhrich joins my favourite author list.

What a brilliant story…..

Brilliant storytelling

I really enjoy this series, although I did struggle with some of the characters at times, especially in book one. I found hard to like Tessa and Theon on book1. For me, this is definitely a story that works much better on the page than in audio. I found the narration quite weak, and after several attempts to push through, it actually started to take away from my enjoyment of the series, so I ended up shelving the audiobook altogether.

I also wasn’t a fan of the choice to give Tessa a British accent. Being from England myself, it just didn’t sound quite right and became distracting.

That said, the series really does improve after book one, and I’d still recommend it but just in written form rather than audio. 😞

British accent fail!

The same argument over and over for hours. Also, stop getting Americans to do British accents, please.

Sigh
