Publisher's summary

Almost 20 years after the barrier between Earth and the Otherworld fell in the Fae Wars, Budapest is balancing on the precipice.

A battle for dominance is brewing between the elite fae and the privileged humans in Eastern Europe. The prejudice between the sides is bubbling with hate and violence.

Nineteen-year-old human, Brexley, has grown up in privilege, but not without heartbreak. After being orphaned, she is taken in by General Markos, living in a walled city rife with power grabs and ruthless political games. Then, one night, the course of her life changes, and Brexley is thrown into the most feared prison in the east. Halalhaz, the House of Death - where you go in but don’t come out. She must learn to live with the worst of fae and human criminals. The rule of hierarchy puts humans on the bottom, where the only way to survive each day is to make alliances with the fae.

Here, she meets the sexy, vicious legend, Warwick Farkas; a myth among man and fae. He is as brutal, cruel, arrogant, and as lethal as the lore says he is. He rules the prison with unchallenged authority. Brexley can’t deny an intense draw to him, one that might cost her life...if The Games - a fight to the death where only one survives - don’t take her out first.

Savage Lands is set in the same world as the Darkness, Collector and Lightness Saga series, but can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Loved the story but the narration was rough

As many others have reviewed the narrator takes huge breaths constantly into the mic which are really distracting and the inflection is weird, almost like she was holding her breath too long so the ends of her sentences were clipped and just off. I almost just didn’t finish but the story kept me going and was worth it!

Pleasantly surprised

Narration was fantastic.
Was not expecting some parts of the plot not surprising but well thought out and executed. Interested to find out what happens next. Not spicy, but sexual tension is definitely set up. Strong world and characters- and definitely some of the best supporting characters I’ve read…listened to in awhile.

Great read

I was hooked from the beginning. What an amazing twist on the Fae world. I can't wait to continue the journey and find out how this ends!

perfect choice on narrators

slow burn

it's quite a build up to the next book. good start to the series

will try the next one

Pretty good. Will listen to the next one. I don't care for the voice of main character and I don't like how they repeat the words again and again. Brexley isn't real smart in her love interests, but she is young and inexperienced. looking forward to how it all plays out.

Emotionally charged and as savage as it’s name

I am so excited to read book two of the Savage lands. After reading the first and getting to know the characters, I found the story spell binding.

A must read

fantastic story, dark, spicy and I fell in love with all the characters!! this series is one of my favorites. I highly recommend and won't ever stop recommending it! I can't wait for Ash's story to continue!! I'm so excited

Worth the credit!

Please don't change the narrator for the next book! Eva Kaminsky is perfect for this series. If you're trying to decide on this book, let me tell you it's worth it. I'm waiting for the next one (9 days left to wait),

excellent

looking forward to read 2nd book in this series. character are built excellent. it has mystery, murder death, passion, betrayal and much more.

A new favorite!

This was the first audio book I’ve ever listened to and I’m so glad I picked it! Excellent narration and very engaging story. I devoured the rest of the series and am eagerly awaiting the next book.
