Rain of Shadows and Endings

The Legacy Series, Book 1

By: Melissa Roehrich

Narrated by: Laura Horowitz, Christian Leatherman

A world the gods forgot.

Of all the worlds and life they created, the gods favored their children the most. But with that favor came the fear that their Legacy would one day become too powerful and overthrow them. Devram was created. A realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods gave their Legacy the best of all the worlds, and then they left, a sworn agreement to never return and to never interfere.

A historical event.

Forced to a life of servitude, the Fae are required to provide for the Legacy in more ways than one. Every five years, the eligible Fae are gathered for the Selection and assigned to serve in one of the six Kingdoms. To be chosen as the personal Source for a Kingdom Heir is the greatest honor, and for the first time in a millennia, all six Kingdoms have heirs choosing a Source. But their selections could tip the power balance a little too far.

A chosen that was never meant to be.Tessalyn Asura was as forgotten as the realm. But when she finds herself the personal Source to the Heir of Endings, she winds up serving in the darkest Kingdom of them all. The secrets within the Arius Kingdom are meant to be learned and kept, but this was never the life she wanted. Fighting not only the fate thrust upon her, but the temptation to lose herself to desire, Tessa will do anything to escape her new destiny. Until she starts to realize maybe their world wasn’t as forgotten as they thought, and maybe she’s the reason why.

Rain of Shadows and Endings is book one in The Legacy Series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is new adult dark fantasy romance series and includes elements that may be triggering to some listeners.

Finally Something Fresh

I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks and rarely take the time to leave a review, but I feel like this one deserves some more excellent reviews. SO GOOD. Finally, a FMC that doesn’t fall in love at first kiss. She is temperamental, but relatable.

The banter amongst the characters keeps the story exciting and the author doesn’t spell out every little detail you, like in the Lady of Darkness series (I’m trying to read now because I’m in the midst of a book hangover after this one, but it’s just not written the same)….AUDIBLE, PLEASE RELEASE THE REST OF THIS SERIES!!!!

so good!

This was so unexpectedly underrated..

I haven't come across a listen this good in a while.. it's reminiscent of "blood and ash" but not.. it ends on a cliffhanger (shocker🙄) but it has all the angst with enemies to lovers vibes, forced proximity, strong FMC, alpha Male over protective assholes, suspence, paranormal/ romantacy.. all while a profecy unfolding... all the feels ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

whiny, Tessa is really whiny!

story is ok, but the whole book is on Tessa whining and childish. I hope the next book is better.

I love this book

I love this book. It's the first book I have read that I hate the MMC but LOVE the book. I have a feeling that he will get redemption and I am here for it. I like the FMC and love the side MCs. If you like Lady of Darkness you will like this series. This was is darker than Lady if Darkness but the world building it great. It is amazing additional to multiverse Melissa is building.

You will be Glued to this story

Loved this book. We need the next book asap. I couldn’t stop listening I was hanging on to every word

Pretty Good Stuff.

I really like this book so far. I wish books was already out because I absolutely despise Cliffhangers and then having to wait months or even years to finally get to move on to the 2nd book. This book is very Unpredictable! That is so nice for a change. It's so rare to find good long audible books that not predictable and full of filler sex with very little story lines and to much repetitive bs. This book does have some of the repetitive bs going on but it's not so bad it ruins the story. I also wish there was more action and adventure but over all I like it because I have no idea what's going to happen and I'm not exactly sure what I want to happen etc and that brings a small breath of fresh air so to speak to my listening experience.

Love this book!

I did my reread with an audio book. I adore this book but I had a little harder time with the male narrator. He takes a lot of pauses while reading and odd breaths in places. I adore Laura’s narration though!

Great read

It Got a little confusing at times but was overall excellent. I hope book 2 explains all the holes!

Unique world building

Loved the uniqueness of the world building, the character development. Surprises that catch you off guard. The realness of Tessa dealing with trauma and having fidgets to cope with makes it relatable.

A must listen

You won’t understand the story as well unless you listen to this audiobook. That is all.
