Draco II: Real Kings Never Die

The Truffieres Series, Book 2

By: Madam Wise

Narrated by: Zair Jordan, Myles Washington

The crown was never given. It was taken.

In the heat of the Bayou, where secrets run deeper than blood and vengeance blooms like wild roses, Draco and Denim return—scarred, stronger, and bound by something bigger than love. Legacy.

But even kings bleed. And queens don't beg.

Now standing at the edge of destiny, they face enemies cloaked in family, curses buried in bloodlines, and the ghosts they thought they left behind. What was once a love story has become a battleground—for survival, for power, for the soul of an empire.

Old sins rise. Truths unravel. And beneath the surface of their reign… something ancient stirs.

Not everyone will make it to the end.

And if they do, they'll never be the same.

Because real kings never die...

…but even the crowned must kneel to fate.

😳🤨🧐 UMMMMM! Not really what I expected.

First let’s say the narration was amazing. Myles Washington will forever be my fav. I guess I was kind of confused on this book. The 1st book was good, but this one I got lost a few times. I felt like there were some parts that didn’t quite make sense. The author gave so much to the curse and root but really missed the ending. I’m assuming the timeline of it was over a 9month period but it wasn’t relayed that way. It came off as if this was weeks but all of sudden Denim is having the baby. Although, I seen where they were going, it didn’t quite hit for me. I have read a lot of Madam Wise and this was the first I can’t really vibe with.

Did not expect this but I liked it

This was not what I was expecting when I started this book. but I enjoyed it so much. It may not be for everyone but I really liked it. take a listen you wont be disappointed!!

Perfect Narration

The narrators were perfect for these characters and the writing style. This book started great but in the 2nd half, there were things happening that didn't make sense/fit. Also, the long-winded scene setting and overuse of similes was distracting. We don't need 12 twenty word similes and 3 poetic metaphors to describe one thing! It had me zoning out at times. Overall, I enjoyed the story and found the storyline engaging.
