Publisher's Summary

Hers is a life without magic or romance. Until the night he whispers her name.

For years, Valera has worked weary hours as a seamstress just to keep food on the table. She would give her all to protect her little sister from the cruelties of the world, and the tantalizing lure of the fae forest. One day, she fears, the fae will spirit her sister away, and how can Valera hope to stop them?

Then the fae come. Not for her sister...but for her. Trapped in a magnificent palace far from her own world, Valera finds herself the unwilling bride of an enigmatic fae lord. He claims he won’t harm her and vows to return her home after a year and a day if she honors one rule: She must never see his face.

Determined to return to her sister at all costs, Valera struggles to unravel the mystery of her so-called husband. Why does he so desperately need a wife? And why her specifically? Torn between love, duty, and the unexpected freedom she finds in this strange new world, Valera must fight to find her place.

But will a burgeoning passion for the unseen figure in the shadows be her undoing?

Creative world and interesting characters

This isn’t a straightforward fairytale where the fae are “human-like”, so our heroine finds interesting companions. She herself is a odd choice for a a saviour, possessing no great skill aside from sewing.

It does come together nicely and in an interesting way. I enjoy the mysterious Lord who steals her away, he genuinely seems to work towards understanding how to make her happy. I can see the relationship develop, just as I also understand the doubts she has.

The performance is beautifully done.

Overall an entertaining listen.

Don't bother. The plot of this book could be summed up in a short paragraph. everything else in it is repetitive filler.

This book is extremely repetitive. The MC is downright stupid and the world building is weak.
