The Death-Made Prince

Runewitch Saga, Book 1

By: Lisette Marshall

Narrated by: Grace Gray

A runewitch on the run has only one option left: join forces with the sarcastic, unpleasantly gorgeous necromancer she loathes

The man Thraga loved is dead, and her future is in shambles. When she's sentenced to the gallows for killing her lover's murderers, it's a relief more than anything… until, the night before her execution, a necromancer is thrown into her cell.

Escaping with him is her only chance to bring Lark back to life—and also the start of all her troubles.

Because her new almost-ally is not just any man returned from death. Fire mage, rogue prince, and son of the man who killed her mother, sharp-tongued Durlain Averre is everything Thraga hates. Worse, he won't revive her lover unless she joins him on a mission of his own first, using her forbidden rune magic to free his sister from the dungeons of an enemy king.

But their quest turns into a deadly chase when Thraga's violent past catches up with her. And as the net of court intrigue and old fears closes around them, she begins to find out Lark was not at all the man she thought he was…

And neither is Durlain.

Absolutely incredible!

I usually struggle with a single reader book. This voice actor does an amazing job. She’s absolutely fantastic. I’ve read this book previously, the audio made me love it even more. I would love for them to do duet! This story is fantastic 10/10 recommend!

A five star read for 2026

Don’t let the length deter you. You won’t want to put it down. A budding warrior with a witty mouth and a sharper set of swords takes on a quest with the death-made prince.

FMC ARC was incredible!

The plot, the character development and the performance...all outstanding. I can often predict plot twists but not for this one. I was literally stunned a few times. I loved the banter so much that I'd get frustrated with the internal dialogue (it was a good frustration!) I truly did not want this book to end because now I have to wait for book 2!

Top performance

Curious as to book 2 for sure. Good pace, great voice actor, slow burn, a bit of spice (1 open door scene), strong MMC, bit-annoying FMC. This book has the basic triggers but does include a character living with OCD (not used by name).
