In a bid for more power, the Shadow Queen of Haradis unleashes a malignant force into the world. Her son Brishen, younger prince of the Kai royal house, suddenly finds himself ruler of a kingdom blighted by a diseased darkness. His human wife Ildiko must decide if she will give up the man she loves in order to save his throne. Three kingdoms on the verge of war must unite to save each other, and a one-eyed, reluctant king will raise an army of the dead to challenge an army of the damned. A tale of alliance and sacrifice.

Histoire
The Wraith Kings saga continues. The demonic horde that threatened to devour the world has been defeated, but at great cost. Plagued by guilt and nightmares, Serovek Pangion sets out to deliver the soulless body of the monk Megiddo to the heretical Jeden Order for safekeeping. Accompanying him is sha-Anhuset, the Kai woman he admires and desires most - a woman barely tolerant of him. But guilt and unwelcome attraction are the least of their problems. The demons thought vanquished are stirring again.

Histoire
Every year, each village is required to send a young woman to the Empire's capital - her fate to be burned alive for the entertainment of the masses. For the last five years, one small village's tithe has been the same woman. Gilene's sacrifice protects all the other young women of her village, and her secret to staying alive lies with the magic only she possesses. But this year is different. Azarion, the Empire's most famous gladiator, has somehow seen through her illusion - and is set on blackmailing Gilene into using her abilities to help him escape his life of slavery.

Histoire
When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

For the last seven years she's been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she's received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear. Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He's a man who can get you anything you want...at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for one client, he's never asked for repayment. Not until now.

Description
The prince of no value
Brishen Khaskem, prince of the Kai, has lived content as the nonessential spare heir to a throne secured many times over. A trade and political alliance between the human kingdom of Gaur and the Kai kingdom of Bast-Haradis requires that he marry a Gauri woman to seal the treaty. Always a dutiful son, Brishen agrees to the marriage and discovers his bride is as ugly as he expected and more beautiful than he could have imagined.
The noblewoman of no importance
Ildiko, niece of the Gauri king, has always known her only worth to the royal family lay in a strategic marriage. Resigned to her fate, she is horrified to learn that her intended groom isn't just a foreign aristocrat but the younger prince of a people neither familiar nor human. Bound to her new husband, Ildiko will leave behind all she's known to embrace a man shrouded in darkness but with a soul forged by light.
Two people brought together by the trappings of duty and politics will discover they are destined for each other, even as the powers of a hostile kingdom scheme to tear them apart.

Great story, odd narration
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
No. Read the printed book. It is excellent. The audio is frustrating. The narrator has a nice voice, but her reading inflections were odd. Not sure if it were the performance or the engineering. But it was distracting to wait through long pauses to get to the next sentence. What was clearly supposed to be a pause (comma) in a sentence was read as a full stop. Then you had to wait for the next word. It felt like the audio was spliced together because you didn't get a natural breath, you got what felt like dead air until the next word.. Not a lot of great narrative flow. Very frustrating to listen to. I finally gave up after an hour of listening.

An unexpected and awesome surprise!!!!
Wow. I can't believe how much I enjoyed this book. I can't wait for anything else by this author to be released in audiobook. This is a great paranormal/fantasy romance with great world building and good character development. But what I really liked was the fact that it didn't focus on how broken the main characters were and how much they needed to be fixed, there was no angst over being forced to marry. No stupid decisions by the characters or frustrating plot twists. No drama over psychological scars from their pasts, well not much. It was just a good fantasy with two mainly well adjusted characters learning how to love despite their differences. With all the other new releases in the romance genre lately, this was as refreshing as it was we'll done.
I highly recommend this one and it may actually be a multiple listen for me.

Something Special...
Any additional comments?
...and it's right in so many ways.
There's no instant lust in this one, but there is instant chemistry, and a warmth that's not found in every romance. It makes the eventual love even better.
Loved Ildiko and Brishen. Loved to hate Brishen's mother.
The world building is nicely done. Just the right amount of detail to make it real, although I suspect that there are a couple of things that will be fleshed out when needed. This is a tightly written book: no filler to tune out. And the twist at the end is jaw- dropping.
When something special comes out in audio I hold my breath to see what the narration will be like. No worries there: Gabrielle Baker is perfect. I may or may not re-read this, but I will be re-listening to it many, many times.I have the tentative release of book 2 marked on the calendar. Please bring it out on audio and don't change the narrator!

I couldn’t get past the lisp. Aside from that I just found this book difficult to get into. The writing itself was good but that’s about all I liked. I had higher hopes for this book.

I may have liked the story if I wasn't so distracted but how much I disliked the readers voice. I couldn't even finish the book-going to see if I can get a refund. Listen to the sample to see if you can handle her voice...

Was pleasantly surprised....
I saw this and put it in my wishlist for later and now I'm mad that didn't read it sooner. I am a sucker for good romances but find that I get burnt out when I read too many in close succession because the stories just meld into one with the same story just different character names. Radiance stood out like a beam of individual and unique light. I adored the love story in this. No TSTL heroine and no stoic "I'm too strong to say my feelings so I will just push you away" hero. Both come together in a mutual friendship despite their forced marriage and make the story extremely delightful rather than frustrating. Honestly I think after listening to it for a day and a half from start to finish I'm ready to read it again!

Loved this book! Impatiently awaiting the next!
What did you love best about Radiance?
It was a different story than I expected, if I'm being honest. I've had it in my library for awhile now, and I can't remember what first drew me towards the book, wether it was on sale or whatnot. I originally thought it would be more of a Beauty and the Beast type book, where they are disgusted by each other at first (haha which they are, but it's done in a much different way than expected), and then fall in love eventually. It was so unlike my expectations, and so much better for it! I honestly fell in love with the characters right from the first, and became enamored with the story. It was full of romance, mystery, and action. I'm actually very sad that the next book isnt out yet, and I'm guessing by the epilogue, and some setting up of 2 other charactors for a romance, that there will definately be at least one more book. I am hoping it turns into a series.
What other book might you compare Radiance to and why?
Honestly, I can't think of another I've read that was quite like it. It had elements of a lot of other books in it, like the couple being forced to marry, but I cannot think of another like this book. I found it rather unique, and quite enjoyed it because of that fact.
Which character – as performed by Gabrielle Baker – was your favorite?
It's difficult to pick. I think she did a good job at narrating because the voices were different enough to recognize who was speaking and when. I thought the accent given to the main heroine to be a little off putting at first, but I soon became accustomed to it, and it stopped bothering me. I think I liked the hero's voice the best, but that may be because I loved his charactor the most.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Oh yes, very much so. Unfortunately I was unable to do so, and that made me rather sad haha, but I listened to it as quickly as I could manage because I was enjoying it so much.
Any additional comments?
I think this book is definitely worth a credit, and I'm rather disappointed that this is the authors only book that is on audible right now. I'm extremely eager for the rest of the series, but going by the publishing date it's likely to be awhile before I am able to listen to the next one. But this series and author is getting added to my automatic purchase list! Get it, you'll enjoy it! And hey, if you don't, you can always return it!
Note: this romance does contain some adult scenes, so if you hate books with those in them, you'll likely want to pass this over. Though, I will say, you will be really missing out if you do. And it's not erotica, where every other scene is an adult scene. There are only a few in the book, and they are married after all, and they care for each other very deeply. It's not s*x just for the sake of s*x or anything like that. So I would encourage you to take a chance on it!

Can’t get past the lisp
The performer has a very noticeable lisp. It’s very distracting. I’m going to have to listen in very small doses. I can tell if it’s the lisp or the storyline, but I just can’t seem to get into this story.

Loved the story, audio could have been a bit better.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tale. I didn't expect much from it but I was blown away by this book. The romance wasn't rushed but didn't drag. There was no cliche instant lust between Ildako and Brishen which I was very pleased with. The building of friendship to lovers between them was so real and so tangible. This is the first book to make me laugh out loud in the literal sense. Author was very skilled in incorporating humor with romance and a bit of bloody action into this. Lovely writing and lovely story telling.
The narrator was a decent performer. Wish she wasn't so monotoned throughout the piece. She does have a heavy English accent so some parts I had to relisten to to understand what she was saying. The recording wasn't spectacular either. I could hear birds and cars in the background every ones in a while along with a constant buzzing sound. Don't know how avoidable it was when recorded. Splicing of the audio could have been a bit better as well. Long gaps in some areas and the buzzing sound changed a lot with the different audio. Therefore I give 3 stars.
Otherwise I absolutely loved this story. Definitely worth a shot.
