Publisher's Summary

Life as a raider in the Wastes, where monsters roam and the military lurks, is as easy as it sounds.

I’ve been out here for a long time, and the fear that courses through my blood every time I step outside our camp walls to scavenge never fades. No matter how many monsters you face—and have to run for your life from—it doesn’t ever get easier.

But when I come across a bound and injured monster in an abandoned military base, I can’t leave him behind. His presence in our camp is causing tension, but I can’t bring myself to care when I get to see a different side to him—when he starts to show me who he is beneath the pain and lingering trauma.

Despite his gentle nature, I soon discover why others are so desperate to own him; why the military, and now this stranger lurking outside our camp, want to put him back in chains and take him away from me.

Something is hiding under his skin, something that threatens to upend my entire life.

There’s a reason why all other monsters fear him.

The Rycke contains explicit sexual content, graphic depictions of torture and violence, and deals with PTSD. It is book three in the Monstrous series, a post-apocalyptic m/m fantasy series that features monsters and human men falling in love. It is best to listen to the series in order.

Another great read from Lily!

I really liked listening to Aury and Ghost’s story. However, since Aury is “The Rycke” I was hoping for a bit more of an alpha vibe from him. However that’s not in Aury’s nature, which made this a really sweet read. The two MMCs are the cutest and were so tender and caring towards each other.

Liked it alot❤️👋❤️

I was thrown for a loop as the pace and character personalities changed to softer and slower but it still made a big impact. I loved the voices of the first two books more, but I understand why because the story is about a different human and monster. I love the series its like Pokemon for adults 😈

I want this series to never end...

Soft gooey cinnamon roll boys and their sweet story of romance. Wasn't my favourite of the stories thus far, but I still devoured the book in less than two days. My anxious heart could relate to Ghost on so many levels, and I was so proud of his personal transformation after meeting and getting to know Aury. So many new characters were introduced, and I can't wait to get to dive into their stories!!! Another seamless performance by Michael Lesley. I don't know how he does it, but each character is so unique and fun to listen to. Onward and upward to the next adventure...Happy listening!
