About this listen

A Court of Thorns and Roses meets The Bachelorette in this new, exciting fantasy romance!

Eight Fae fight for my hand in marriage. They're willing to kill for it. But if they discover my secret, my future husband might kill me too.

The King of Brookmere has decreed his daughter is to marry—which means, despite my protests, he's enacted an archaic tradition, summoning powerful Fae from across the land to compete for my hand in marriage. And more importantly, the throne.

Eight fae will fight in the deadly trials, braving formidable magic and each other to prove themselves worthy of the crown. Including the arrogant, shadow-wielding Kade Blackthorn, who arrived out of nowhere and appears to have far more abilities than he should. In truth, all I've ever wanted is for someone to love me for who I am, despite my secrets. An ally. An equal.

While one of the contenders might become my husband, a trusted friend is the last title any of them can win. These men are willing to do anything for power. If they discover my secret, that I'm an heir with no magic, then we're all doomed.

Blooms of Darkness is the first book of the Broken Prophecy series, a slow-burn, new adult romantasy. Listeners are encouraged to use discretion when diving into this enemies-to-lovers, shadow-daddy romance.

Contains exclusive bonus scenes.

I don’t want to be mean… but I had a hard time following the story due to the narrator. The way she reads in such a formal tone, volume inconsistencies throughout, it was … okay. I enjoyed the story more when reading on my own. Didn’t make it beyond chapter 4 of the audiobook.

Narration was distracting from the story

Yet another amazing book to my collection! This book had my attention from the very beginning until the end. The storyline, the characters, the romance the action. And everything in between had my absolute undivided attention, I loved every second of it honestly I am sad it is done and I couldn’t put it down. I cannot wait for the second book to come as audio! Anna and Helen have a way of absolutely capturing their readers attention with their words, I cannot wait for the second book to follow in the series so I can fall even more in love with the characters and so much more.

Absolutely loved this book!
