The Necromancer's Light

Radiance, Book 1

By: Tavia Lark

Narrated by: Kai Rubio

He'll die without touch.

As a necromancer, Shae loses a little more of himself every time he uses his magic. Always cold, always touch-starved, the only thing that helps is human contact. But that's hard to come by when those same dark powers scare everyone away from him. Nobody likes a necromancer.

Especially a paladin of the Radiant Order.

Arthur's still bitter and broken after his last lover stabbed him in the back, and the last thing he needs is another brush with evil. When he agrees to escort the wandering necromancer north, he's just doing a public service. But he never expected Shae to be so clingy. Or distractingly attractive.

Shae has never felt an aura as warm and safe as Arthur's. He craves the man's touch—and more. But everyone he's ever known has left him, and it's just a matter of time before Arthur leaves him too.

Assuming the soul-stealing monsters don't kill them first.

Contains mature themes.

Good story. Good narration

I enjoyed getting to know the characters. The story had some interesting moments. The narrator's voice was pleasant, but he tended to have excessively long pauses. The story and the narration could both use a little bit of polish, but they were engaging enough that I will try more of their works.

Sweet and entertaining

This was a sweet and exciting fantasy romance that I enjoyed, though I find myself wishing I'd read it ranter than listened to this narration. Mr. Rubio made it difficult for me to stay engaged because of his frequent pauses and intakes of breath. The writing and character development were solid. I would have appreciated more details about Shea's backstory. I like the author enough to perhaps read the other books in this series.

I love Tavia Lark Books!

I’ve enjoyed all of the Tavia Lark books I’ve read so far. This book was no exception! Shae and Arthur were opposites that worked so well together. So glad to see they got their happy ending. The narration was dry good too!

I loved the narration.

Once the narrator found his footing, I think he did a great job! The story is sweet and fun.

Excellent story

I loved the characters. The narrator did a good job. I was distracted by the long pauses, an issue with editing. I look forward to book 2, and other books by this author.
