Sun Serpent

A Scorching Slow Burn Romantic Fantasy (Sun Serpent Saga, Book 1)

De: Geneva Monroe

Narrado por: Stella Hunter, John Hartley

Under the silks of her circus troupe’s tent, Elyria Solaris dances with fire. She disguises her gift as showmanship, but longs for answers about why she has a power no one else possesses.

Somewhere in the city of never-ending night, Prince Cal is looking for the girl who burns the brightest. Only she can stop the horror inflicted on his kingdom by a sadistic lord who controls the minds of his victims.

When Cal spies Elyria, he knows without a doubt that she is the most beautifully dangerous thing he has ever seen. More importantly, she’s the Fire Draken he’s been waiting his whole life to find.

Moments after Cal serendipitously enters Elyria’s life, a loved one’s gruesome death sets her on the path of vengeance. Cal will do anything to protect his people, including lying to Elyria about who he really is and promising her the answers that she seeks.

But if Elyria trusts the undeniable spark between them, could it turn out to be the one fire she is unable to tame?

Elyria and Cal were an interesting pair. She is a bit sassy and independent. Cal likes to rile her up, not spice was not high level but still had some intimate moments. They had banter and i loved Xoc he was hilarious 😂 i did enjoy the narrating it was great having it duet style and although new to John he was really good

A one of a kind world

I love how creative this story is. I first read it a couple of years ago on KU. I loved this story so much, that I knew I needed the Audible, and it did not disappoint. The narrators were Fantastic!

Sun Serpent

This ia an amazing audio book. Great narrations by both Stella Hunter & John Hartley. Story had me sucked in right away and the performance made it that much better. The chemistry between the 2 main characters is phenomenal. I can not wait to dive into book 2. Highly recommend

2nd read -1st audible

I absolutely love this book so I had to listen to the audible!
Elyria and Cal are undoubtedly the most frustrating but relatable magical beings I’ve read about! The slow burn and fun banter will have you giggling!
Xoc is an absolute gem of a side character!

This is a romance, adventure with suspense all wrapped up in a beautiful story thats continues with Star Spear!!

Magical world to get lost in.

Sun Serpent is a fantastic beginning int the magical world Geneva Monroe has created for us. A world of mystery and magic and secrets. Elyria and Cal are drawn to each other. Cal is a prince on a mission with his best friend to get revenge & bring down the evil that corrupted his father and others in his kingdom.
Elyria is more than what meets the eye, she's more than just a fire wielder in a carnival show. she has a far greater purpose and Cal can sense this from the moment he played eyes on her.
together Elyria and Cal along with Xoc will travel to get answers to the secrets that have not only been kept from Elyria her entire life but ones that Cal needs answers to as well.
their Adventures are just beginning in this first book The World building is fabulous and I am extremely invested in each and every one of these characters and their story.

Narrators Stella Hunter, John Hartley bring depth and life into this amazingly addictive world.

love this sooo much

I kind of went in blind to this audiobook. I loved the Dark Oz books so I knew I would be happy with these. I usually am not a big fantasy fan because the world building makes me tired and bored. I loved this so much. the narrators were amazing like I'm going and checking out everything that they have done now. The story had me staring off into space listening instead of working. Just all around a great time. 10 out of 10 recommend.

The most EPIC beginning to any fantasy I've found in a LOOOOONG TIME.

+ John Hartley (male narrator) sounds SO ROYAL. His voice has weight and power. You can feel how deeply Callen feels things before the plot has even begun.
+ The Story reels you in from the very first chapter, making you feel like you've been dropped directly into the middle of an ongoing adventure.
+ Stella Hunter is the perfect narrator in every way. Elyria sounds so normal, despite the fact that she's evidently the key to heal the world (which broke when Cal's dad tried to kill him). (Cal is searching for Elyria.)
+ Cal sees Elyria for the first time from across the square and you can FEEL the heart eyes/fated mates kicking in.
+ These audiobook narrators are TOP TIER.
+ FATED MATES! I love the way Elyria toys with Cal, makes him work for it, and how DANG FLIRTY THEY BOTH ARE
+ DUKE, NO. HE DIDN'T DESERVE THAT! HE'S SO SWEET. WHY? AND HE KNOWS ABOUT AUROS AND THE CURSE WAS MEANT FOR ELYRIA, WHO IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE ORIGINAL ELYRIA, FIRE DRAKKON, SEND HELP

THIS IS SO SAD, GENEVA, WHY?!

+ Xoc is my son and must be protected at all costs
+ HOLY MOLY, IF THIS IS THE SPICE OF JUST A KISS, STARS ABOVE!
+ Poor Xoc is like JUST KISS ALREADY.GIF, I'm so tired of listening to the two of you flirt, I hate that I know you people 😂
+ Meeting Joseph, omg Cal, could you BE any more jealous???? It's adorably hysterical.
+ "I must have been staring [at Elyria] again." NO WAY, CAL. YOU? STARING? IT CANNOT BE. 😂
+ Cal literally could not be more in love with Elyria if he tried. It's ADORABLE.
+ AND THERE'S ONLY ONE BED! YES!
+ and Cal is so busy staring at Elyria that he literally gets stuck in his pants and falls over. Omg, for a royal and someone who can wield such power, he's such a DORK.
+ I love Xoc and Cal's dynamic. Cal is the idiot doing the stupid thing, and Xoc is the one who sighs SO HEAVILY and goes to make sure the idiot doesn't die. (I feel you, Xoc.)
+ a bet over a cab race - I SWEAR THEY ARE GIANT CHILDREN (but I love them)
+ Cal, you're a freaking bonehead. TELL HER THE WHOLE TRUTH.
+ "I let her hit me. I deserved every hit she threw at me." Cal, omg, I feel for you so much even though you go about things SO STUPIDLY
+ how two badasses can be SO STUPID when together ugh they're so meant to be
+ FOUND. FREAKING. FAMILY. CALLEN. ELYRIA. XOC. ❤️
+ STARS BLESS XOC, THE VOICE OF REASON.
+ the way fire is used as a symbol to represent so many things is EXPERT LEVEL. Devastation. Passion. Creation. Vengeance. Willpower. Urgency. Necessity. There's nothing I could write that would do it justice. Geneva Monroe has penned an absolute masterpiece.
+ WHAT DOES LAVENDER MAKE XOC THINK OF? HE STOPPED HIMSELF FROM SPEAKING OPENLY, WHICH MAKES ME THINK IT'S A WHO, NOT A WHAT.
+ THIS IS SHREDDING MY HEART. HOW AM I GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH SIX MORE BOOKS WITHOUT CRYING?!
+ "I swore to put your life before my own, always." (Omg these two, somebody send help - to them and me)

100000000/10 WOULD RECOMMEND

Absolutely Enjoyed Listening!

The narrators were perfect! I enjoyed the voice especially for cal! Listening to this felt like I was in the story watching it all go down! This love story is so powerful it’s one of my top favorite couples!

Great narration

A little bit slow of a start to the series but the narrators helped give the story a little faster pace. looking forward to the next in the series!

This book consumed me

Geneva is an amazing person but even better author. The world is detailed enough without being overbearing but the characters are where this book shines. I've read the physical book but the audio is perfection. The choice in narrators makes it even better. Many times the narration doesn't fit well with the character but this was the best!! Absolutely must listen if you love a good fantasy with amazing worldbuilding that takes you on a journey...oh and you love a good male voice actor!
