Book description
Evanthia's escape from Birsha's twisted world isn't freedom-it's the start of a deeper hunger. Kathryn Moon's Sanctuary with Kings pulls you into that raw, desperate space with an audiobook performance that feels like a whispered secret in the dark. The narrator doesn't just tell her story; they live it with you, every tremor in Evanthia's voice when she's starving in London's shadowy streets, every fragile hope as she's pulled into the dreamlike refuge of the castle. You hear the weight of her past in every pause, the way her voice cracks when she thinks of the kings who offer sanctuary but can't mend what Birsha shattered.
This isn't just a refuge-it's a quiet storm. The audiobook masterfully builds the tension between the eerie safety of sleeping dragons and the ever-encroaching war. You feel Evanthia's restless heart, the way even tender care can't silence the nightmares. The narrator nails that internal battle: the pull of hiding forever versus the terrifying, necessary step toward facing her past. When the decision looms-hide or confront the man she fears most-the audio makes it visceral. You're not just hearing the choice; you're holding your breath alongside her.
What elevates this audiobook is how it turns setting into emotion. The "castle made from dreams" isn't just a backdrop-it's a character, and the narrator gives it a soft, almost melancholic hum. You feel the cool stone, the hushed whispers of the monsters who guard her, the way silence in the castle feels louder than any threat. It's a world where "sanctuary" is fragile, and the audiobook's pacing mirrors that fragility-slow, deliberate, letting every unspoken fear linger. You'll find yourself leaning in, not just to catch the words, but to feel the space between them.
Moon's prose finds its perfect match here. The narrator avoids melodrama, choosing instead for a quiet intensity that lets Evanthia's vulnerability shine. When Evanthia finally realizes her heart won't stay dormant, it's not a shout-it's a quiet shift in the audio, a subtle change in tone that says everything. This isn't escapism; it's a deeply human journey wrapped in dark fantasy, and the audiobook makes you feel every step. You don't just listen to Evanthia's choice-you feel the cost of both paths. It's haunting, tender, and utterly impossible to turn away from. By the end, you'll be as ready as she is for the battlefield, not because you want to, but because the quiet sanctuary is no longer enough. This is the kind of audiobook that stays with you long after the final word fades.
