A Tale of Treachery

Darkest Dynasty, Book 1

By: Mellie T. Tollem

Narrated by: Jacci Prior

Dahlia has spent her life running from a monster, only to fall into another's path.

It's been ten years since she escaped the darkness. Ten years spent hiding her magic in a kingdom where magic is outlawed. Despite neglecting that side of herself, Dahlia is happy with the life she's built in Cambriel. Not only is she on the fast track to becoming a royal scholar, but the love of her life, Prince Aiden, is finally returning her long-held affections.

However, the infuriating royal assassin, Ryken, shadows her every move. He's always watching and waiting to catch a glimpse of whatever makes her tick. In his relentless quest to figure her out, Ryken uncovers Dahlia's darkest secret—and he's not above using blackmail to get what he wants.

Dahlia will do anything to keep her secret, even if it requires getting close to the mysterious assassin. Because if the truth is revealed, everyone she loves will pay a deadly price.

And that price is delivered by the hands of a monster.

A Tale of Treachery is a dark fantasy romance with fae, witches, and morally gray characters who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Intended for mature listeners.

a+++

loved the books and so happy to have the first on audio. I'm having to read book two again now cause the cliffhanger still gets me.

trust and betrayal

I was hooked and looked forward until the end. I want more please...may I have more?

The story !

I loved this book when I read it and I love it even more being read to me ! The narrator did wonderful! Can’t wait for the next book!

Felt like listening to a CW show

The narration wasn’t my favorite but it was listenable. I actually really enjoyed this book, it gave me The Vampire Diaries vibes. The entire time I could just imagine the cast acting out this story and it made the story feel very nostalgic. Very easy listen and definitely worth the credit!

Wonderful Narration

You truly feel like you are in the story whenever you listen to a book narrated by Jacci Prior. Even though I didn’t care much for the plot it was still an enjoyable listen!
