The Legendary Inge

By: Kate Stradling

Narrated by: Lillian Rachel

Plagued by misfortune, Ingrid Norling treks into the woods to clear her head. She emerges a monster-slayer, the shaken executioner of a creature so ferocious that even the king's strongest warriors could not destroy it. In a land that reveres swords and worships strength, this accidental heroism earns Inge an audience at court and an ill-fated prize: King Halvard impulsively adopts her and names her as his heir.

Under constant guard to prevent her escape, Inge confronts the ignoble underbelly of the royal court: a despotic king, a clueless princess, a proud warrior, and a dangerous intrigue. As secrets unravel and the castle becomes an elaborate deathtrap, Inge must keep her wits close and her weapons closer.

The monster in the woods was only the beginning.

Adore this story!

Deathmark is such a beautiful story. I love the various themes and the slow burn romance. We're taken on such a fun adventure, discovering secrets alongside our main characters. It's beautiful.
the narrator did a wonderful job, and I loved how she was spot on with the sass of Nell. Great emotion, vibrancy, and performance for this amazing story.

A Pleasent Surprise

Loved it. Kate Stradling is a new author for me. However, I give her credit from pulling me out of my book slump. This light-hearted story made laugh, swoon, and respect the Stradling's treatment of characters and plot devices. Narrator kept me entertained the entire time.

Loved it!

I love the twists in the story, and the narrator did a great job! The romance stays clean and sweet, no swearing.

New twist on a classic

I loved the pace of this story, the narrator was on point with portraying the characters even the minor characters she made interesting. I love the author’s other books especially Kingdom of Ruses and Tournament of Ruses. A light hearted read that allows you enjoy the story.

Fantastic story!

I loved this book! Inspired by Beowulf, it had a lovely mix of mystery and magic. I had a pretty good idea what would happen in general, but some of the details kept me guessing and I loved that! It felt a little like a legend passed down through the ages too, which was nice. It took me a minute to get used to the omniscient POV, but once I did it was seamless. I loved the characters and the world created by the author. Definitely recommend!
