Publisher's Summary

A fae who betrayed his prince for a doomed passion.

Syren sacrificed the man he loved to spare humanity from the wrath of the fae. For three hundred years, he’s been stuck on the mortal plane, floating alone in his pool while his powers slipped away. The last fae in the realm, his only companion is a mysterious bird until Audric, King of Aranthe, comes to claim his sword—the instrument that caused the rift between Faerie and the human realm.

A bastard who should never have inherited the throne.

After centuries of peace, Faerie destroys the royal family of Aranthe in a single brutal strike, leaving only one behind—Audric, the king’s bastard son, who’s always been more warrior than noble. As the magic holding the fae out of Aranthe cracks, Audric strikes out on a quest to retrieve a weapon that can save humanity from the fae.

A desperate fight to thwart the bloodthirsty fae prince who wants to break them both.

Forced together by the magic of the sword that Audric needs but Syren cannot surrender, their bond is the only thing that can stop Faerie from breaking through into Aranthe and razing the kingdom to the ground.

Pool of Dreams is a high fantasy M/M romance featuring one snarky fae who’s got a marshmallow-soft center hidden behind his prickly attitude and pretty face, an overgrown knight turned king with a heart of gold (and buns of steel), and the cleverest bird you ever did see! Enjoy snark for days as these tall-and-taller lads share only one bed, fight back against the forces of evil, and find the cure for three centuries of touch-starvation.

This book includes depictions of violence and trauma, and the healing power of consensual...cuddling. It is intended for mature listeners.

This could have been great

This could have been a great audiobook. The story plot was interesting, I’m always here for a good fae/ fantasy story. And Greg is always amazing, but honestly he should have been the only one reading the book. That’s the reason the overall and performance ratings couldn’t get more than 3 stars, the 2 readers were not complimentary, and where one brought the rating up the other brought it down.

Having to hear 2 different takes of the same characters and knowing how one is clearly superior to the other, is very jarring. Going from having distinct voices for characters with different accents and affectations, to honestly dull, similar voices was a let down. This only made the story a little harder to get through, I found myself wanting to skip to the chapters Greg was reading. And that’s missing half the book right there.

If the audiobook was going to have two different readers it should have been them reading only for the characters that they would voice for and not share one character between themselves multiple times.

Honestly I would prefer if this book was just reread with just Greg reading the whole book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
