About this listen
A Gay Retelling of Cinderella...
Trapped beyond the Wall, Finn and Rohan discover what they will sacrifice for one another.
King Rohan must seek aid from the cruel Fae to heal the mortally-wounded Finn. He and Serxio travel to the nearest settlement. But Rohan discovers they are not the only humans on the Fae side of the Wall. Countless of his people have been enslaved to serve his enemies. And Rohan and Serxio join them after being captured by slavers.
Now in the cradle of Fae territory, Finn’s magic grows and draws him into a dark dream where everything he thinks he knows about himself and his heritage is challenged. When he senses danger to Rohan, Finn escapes the dream and uses his magic to drain the land around him to restore his health.
Now Finn and Leonid must find a way to save Rohan and Serxio. With danger coming from a hostile land and even more hostile people, Finn must choose between hiding his Fae blood and saving Rohan.
Note: This novel series has cliff-hangers! Every book will end on one - that's my natural writing style. If you do not like cliff-hangers, wait until the whole series is published to read. Thanks for the support!
X. Aratare writes gay paranormal romance with witches, vampires, magic, and mystery. Though some books may venture into dark territory, they will all have happy endings.
