The Assassin Bride

The King and the Assassin, Book 1

By: Anastasis Blythe

Narrated by: Nikki Massoud, Fajer Al-Kaisi

It is said that the Neverseen King comes for a bride every hundred years. I thought it was only legend—until he came for me.

I am one of twelve assassins forced to compete for the hand of our unseen king, who I'm beginning to doubt is even human at all.

Why he needs a bride, much less one who wields a blade isn't any of my business. All I'm trying to do is get out of here with my life and my heart intact. I don't want to care about the mysteries I begin uncovering about the king, about why he never shows his face, about his palace that turns into a nightmare after dusk. I'm just trying to escape.

But apparently, my choice is to win this competition or die. I'm not dying. And I'm definitely not falling in love with the Neverseen King.

The Assassin Bride is a dark and twisted tale of a deadly bridal competition for the hand of a mysterious shadow king. It's book one in The King and the Assassin fantasy romance series, perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Sylvia Mercedes, and Elise Kova, who love dark, swoon-worthy heroes and sweet (not steamy) slow-burn romance.

Slow burn

Excellent world building, plenty of surprises and just overall a great story!! Had me on the edge of my seat a few times

Rich

Very rich and vivid! The characters have a lot of depth and the story was so well told. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

Excellent story!

Loved it and can’t wait for the next to come out. Narrator did a great job! Although, I agree with another review that the Kings voice should have been done by the epilogue voice throughout the book. That would be better. Still a great performance!

Character development

I loved the book and the characters in it. Definitely can’t wait until book 2 in November!!!!

Obsessed!!

One of my all time favorite fantasy books! The audio made it even better!! I need book 2 asap!
