About this listen

“Beautifully written and deliciously complex…I couldn’t get enough.” (Nicki Pau Preto, author of the Crown of Feathers series)

The Cruel Prince meets City of Bones in this thrilling urban fantasy set in the magical underworld of Toronto that follows a queer cast of characters racing to stop a serial killer whose crimes could expose the hidden world of faeries to humans.

Choose your player.

The “ironborn” half-fae outcast of her royal fae family.
A tempestuous Fury, exiled to Earth from the Immortal Realm and hellbent on revenge.
A dutiful fae prince, determined to earn his place on the throne.
The prince’s brooding guardian, burdened with a terrible secret.

For centuries, the Eight Courts of Folk have lived among us, concealed by magic and bound by law to do no harm to humans. This arrangement has long kept peace in the Courts - until a series of gruesome and ritualistic murders rocks the city of Toronto and threatens to expose faeries to the human world.

Four queer teens, each who hold a key piece of the truth behind these murders, must form a tenuous alliance in their effort to track down the mysterious killer behind these crimes. If they fail, they risk the destruction of the faerie and human worlds alike. If that’s not bad enough, there’s a war brewing between the Mortal and Immortal Realms, and one of these teens is destined to tip the scales. The only question is: which way?

Wish them luck. They’re going to need it.

Such a Great Experience!

I really truly enjoyed this book. Not only did it have tons of representation of gender, sexuality, and race (honestly, I don't think a single character was straight), but it also genuinely made me laugh out loud with the Characters' quips and antics. Nausicaea is my favourite...she's so sassy.

Anyways, great plot and characters with a hint of mystery and conspiracy mixed into this urban fantasy novel. A little like the The Dark Artifices but entirely focused on the Fair Folk. I highly recommend.

Also, the narrators in this are top notch. I hope they got paid well cause they did such a fantastic job.

Nice

I was torn on what to rate it. It was good I like the fact their was a lesbian and gay couple both have good chemistry I am curious what could happen next. The romance was cute, the story was interesting, the magic was fun but not full fleshed out in terms of the rules. I like that it is based in Canada an Toronto. the narrators all did an awesome job. yeah just an enjoyable read would recommend for any queer teens who like fantasy.

OBSESSED

Okay, not only is the actual book just outright spectacular but this audio cast has gone above and beyond to bRING Shuttleworth’s (beautiful) words to full and vibrant life. I can’t even decide which narrator is my favourite because all four of them were perfect. Special shout out to the narrator doing Hero’s chapters because your Lethe voice gave me CHILLS.
