Heart of Silk and Shadows

Fae Isles, Book 0.5

By: Lisette Marshall

Narrated by: Tim Campbell, Kylie Stewart

Stealing from a fae lord is a desperate plan…

As a human servant at the Crimson Court, Allie knows better than to anger the fae. Cunning and politics are her tools of survival. But when an unwanted suitor threatens her younger sister, Allie can think of only one way to protect her family…

Steal from the fae.

Agenor, Lord Protector of the Fae Isles and right hand of the Mother herself, doesn’t expect anything to still surprise him after twelve centuries of life. Finding a taunting note from an anonymous thief in his wardrobe is enough to rouse his curiosity, though. Enough to do the unthinkable—write back.

Then he finds out he’s been exchanging letters with a humble human. Worse, a human challenging him to his face.

A simple bargain is supposed to teach her a lesson. But the harder he tries to put her in her place, the harder she defies him… Soon their game sparks an unexpected romance—but will even love be enough when their loyalties collide?

Heart of Silk and Shadows is a prequel novel to the Fae Isles series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone, but the characters’ journey continues in the main series.

This adult fae romance contains a generous dose of smoldering glances, passionate longing, and midnight meetings of the illicit type. It is recommended for a mature audience.

My favorite book of the Fae Isles series

<<Spoiler>> This little gem of a story is a wonderful prequel to the Fae Isles series. It’s so well told; the relationship between Aginor, the Lord Protector of the Crimson Court, and Allie, a human woman, unfolds in a surprisingly tender way even though constrained by a ruthless, rigid fae court. The narration is faultless; in particular, I love Tim Campbell’s voice as Aginor.

What a thoroughly delightful listen.

Both narrators were fantastic, as was the story itself. I am anxious to dive into the rest of this series.

Love it
