Book description
Imagine trading your garden for peace... only to be handed to a terrifying troll as a bride. A Darkness So Sweet isn't just a bestselling fantasy-it's an audiobook that grips you from the first whisper of betrayal.
You'll hear Maia's trembling voice as she's ripped from her beloved flowers, thrust into a mountain kingdom where trolls rule and rumors paint her husband, Ragnar, as a monster. But the narrator? They own this tension. You'll feel the icy dread in the troll halls, hear the sharp edge of Ragnar's gruff voice as he calls her a "fragile human," and then... wait for it... the shift. That moment he admits her meager magic is an "insult," yet his honor binds him. You'll hear the quiet poetry beneath his rage-because this isn't just a forced marriage. It's a slow-burn spell.
This is the fantasy romance you've craved: a hero who's terrifying yet tender, a heroine who fights not just for survival but for love in a world rigged against her. The audiobook's magic? It makes you feel Maia's heart racing as she navigates troll politics, the scent of mountain moss in the air, and Ragnar's hidden softness when he says, "Your garden... it's a part of you." You'll root for them through every shadowy threat, every whispered danger, as their attraction burns brighter than the kingdom's darkest secrets.
Don't just read it-live it. With a narrator who turns every line into a heartbeat, you'll lose yourself in this world where love blooms in the most unexpected soil. Perfect for fans of The Bear and the Nightingale meets A Court of Thorns and Roses, but with a twist that'll leave you breathless.
Press play now. Your next obsession is waiting.
