Book description
Kerri Maniscalco's Throne of Nightmares delivers a deliciously dark fantasy romance that feels like a love letter to book lovers everywhere. The story follows Prince Sloth-yes, that Sloth-a brooding, intellectually inclined royal who'd rather stay in his library than face the world. But when an ancient deity stirs and threatens to unravel the Underworld, he's forced into a quest to find the dangerous Book of Nightmares. Along the way, he's joined by Lore Brimstone, a cheerful librarian who accidentally stumbles into this nightmarish world through a mysterious portal stone-the Phoenix Tear.
What unfolds is a clever, fast-paced narrative that blends literary homage with high-stakes adventure. Lore and Sloth are thrown into a series of perilous scenarios that mirror the plotlines of Lore's favorite fictional series, forcing them to confront not only external threats but their own growing feelings for each other. Maniscalco excels at crafting atmospheric tension, weaving gothic elements with sharp dialogue and just the right amount of romantic chemistry.
The audiobook format enhances the immersive experience, bringing the eerie settings and emotional beats to life. Narrators capture the personalities of each character, especially the contrast between Sloth's cool detachment and Lore's fiery determination. The pacing keeps listeners hooked, balancing action with moments of introspection and humor.
Fans of Kingdom of the Wicked will appreciate the familiar world-building and darker themes, while newcomers will find this standalone entry both accessible and engaging. Throne of Nightmares is a thrilling ride for anyone who's ever wanted to step inside their favorite book-just beware what happens when the story fights back.
