Ballad of Sea and Sky

The Whispering Sea, Book 1

By: Madeleine Eliot

Narrated by: Rylee Kuberra, John Rogers

A princess with an adventurer’s spirit. A pirate with a king’s obligations.

Marina has known for a long time that she doesn’t want the life her parents want for her, but when they announce her betrothal to the steady but dull captain of the guard, she reluctantly accepts her duty.

That is until an enemy siren is captured and presented to her father, and Marina can’t think of anything but amber eyes and wings.

In a twist of fate, Marina finds herself the prisoner of an enemy king in a plot to end a centuries-long war between their peoples that can only end in either death or heartbreak.

Ballad of Sea and Sky is the first book in The Whispering Sea Duet, an enemies to lovers romantasy adventure featuring sirens, selkies, and spicy romance.

Perfection

Ok, it’s official, Madeleine Eliot cannot write a bad book! I’m so excited to have another book to devour! Ballad of Sea and Sky did not disappoint. My gosh. First off, Caspian and Marina are amazing. You can tell the time and energy put in to making these characters deep. While listening to the book, I felt like I could anticipate the emotions each character would feel. My favorite element was the enemies to lovers piece. It was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of tension to keep it super exciting the entire time. I adored the highs and lows in the story and felt attached to the characters. Another one to mark as a favorite and to come back to and read again soon.

Perfectly cozy & spicy!

I have to echo the other reviewer on this: Madeleine Eliot writes the best stories! Madeleine Eliot really has the most creative, imaginative mind that can develop the best characters and story lines. I loved reading this book and it came even more closer to life with these actors! The actors who read this book did a fabulous job bringing each character they read for with various range of voices. I loved this story of Marina & Caspian. It definitely left me wanting more at the end of the book. I’m pretty sure there will be more books to continue Marina & Capsian’s story. I can’t wait to read and listen to more of Madeleine Eliot’s books!!!!!!

Perfect audiobook!

I loved the characters voices, this book was great as an audiobook & I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!

A fun read

It's been ages since I've read a book like this and it was such a good time. I was immersed. This might be my first audiobook I've finished. I thought the performances were really good.
