A Touch of Poison

Shadows of the Tenebris Court, Book 2

By: Clare Sager

Narrated by: Sarah Sampino, Liam Price

In Elfhame, bargains are currency, lies are weapons, and your heart is your greatest weakness.

Reeling from Bastian's revelations, Kat wakes from her dire illness wanting nothing more than to sever all ties with the man who betrayed her. But fate has a different plan—she's trapped in Elfhame, the fae realm where nothing is as it seems. And worse, she's trapped with him, reliant on his touch to stave off a poison that threatens her very life.

Thrust into the center of Dusk and Dawn Courts, they must balance the two in order to maintain a delicate peace. But in a world where alliances are forged and shattered in a heartbeat, danger looms. A mysterious group infiltrates the city, and spies whisper of an ancient artifact powerful enough to destroy an entire court.

As enemies close in from all sides and attacks on the city escalate, Kat and Bastian must unearth deadly secrets and their own complicated feelings to survive—or risk a war to destroy faekind itself.

Full of betrayal, bargains, and broken hearts, A Touch of Poison is the spellbinding second book in Shadows of the Tenebris Court, a searing romantic fantasy trilogy perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Intended for mature listeners.

Man I can't wait for the next book!

So good! I know by the time the next book comes our I'll want to listen to the whole series over again. Highly recommend!

What an ending!!

I love these narrators! They make the reading experience so fun and immersive. I had a blast.

Ugh, that ending

Lots of twists and turns and loved it all. The female narrator was amazing. Had a hard time with the male. Weird inflections at the end of sentences. Not sure if it’s a cultural thing or not. Hard to follow. The spice was good. The possessiveness 😍. Can’t wait for book 3. Please don’t take long, pretty please 😁

waiting for book 3

The story kept me engrossed. The female narrator was excellent. I had gotten used to Bastiens' voice through her in book one, but the change to a male narrator for his parts was distracting and disappointing. The cadence of his speech was so different that it just killed the flow of the story telling for me. I also felt like being told from Kats perspective lent him an edge of danger and sex appeal that just wasn't there with the male narrator. That is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

Love but

FMC narrator is the voice I have in my head for the MMC… sad that the male narrator didn’t follow through on what she paved out. It’s not his voice, just the cadence, inflection whatever it is,. Everything seems angsty
