About this listen
How could a visit to the kingdom's capital turn disastrous so quickly?
As a commoner, Kaylina Korbian's duty is to bow to aristocrats, avoid rabble-rousers, and call the haughty royal rangers "my lord"—especially the arrogant Vlerion of Havartaft.
Handsome, powerful, and a legendary swordsman, he's the last person you'd want to cross. Naturally, Kaylina irks him at their first meeting, and he arrests her.
Unbeknownst to her, the city is dealing with political strife and assassinations, and the rangers are on edge.
Kaylina must work with Vlerion to clear suspicion from her name, even as she unearths a dark secret about him that will either bind them together… or get her killed.
Shadows of Winter is a thrilling fantasy adventure perfect for fans of slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance.

McCall Richter finds criminals, con men, and deadbeats better than anyone else in the empire. She’s proud of her success and that she owns her own spaceship, especially since she struggles to understand human motivations, can’t tell when people are lying to her, and is horrible at recognizing faces. Being autistic in the empire is frowned upon—and there’s a handy normalization surgery to correct it—but she’s managed to prove her worth and avoid irking the tyrannical regime.

Story
When Delia chose to major in archaeology, she didn't imagine herself scrounging for pickaxes and gold pans to sell on auction sites. What she doesn't imagine is stumbling across a decapitated body in an old mine near Prescott. Something dangerous has come to the mountains, and two Harley-riding strangers are the only ones who seem to have a clue. They speak a language Delia has never heard and carry mysterious artifacts she's never seen. Investigating these strangers might lead her to discoveries that change archaeology forever.

Story
After 10 years at war, Jev Dharrow looks forward to hanging up his sword, relaxing with a cool mug of ale, and forgetting that the love of his life married another man while he was gone. But when his ship sails into port, a beautiful woman wearing the garb of an inquisitor from one of the religious orders waits to arrest him. He’s accused of stealing an ancient artifact with the power to start another war. Jev would gladly hand over the artifact to stop more suffering, but he has no idea where it is or even what it looks like. The inquisitor woman definitely has the wrong person.

Kit McCafferty's life is quiet, unremarkable, and filled with cat hair. In the magical city of Coldstream, located on the border between Scotland and England, Kit is viewed as little more than mildly eccentric and mostly harmless. She passes her days caring for her family of five cats, feeding the local feral moggies, and maintaining relatively good relations with her neighbors. All that changes, however, when a teenage werewolf shows up at her door in the desperate hope of renting out a nearby vacant flat.

After helping my steady dragon Zav with his family problems, I thought life would get back to normal. As normal as it can be when you’re a hit woman responsible for hunting down bad guys. That was before a strange artifact showed up in a bog and turned my ancient dwarven sword into a magical beacon. Now, my enemies can sense it from hundreds of miles away. Usually, fighting off opportunists wouldn’t be a problem (they don’t call me Ruin Bringer without reason), but even I can only handle so many attacks at a time.

Being a private investigator wasn’t supposed to be complicated. I expected cheating spouses and missing pets like BonBon, a kidnapped ‘pure-bred Schnoodle’ with a ruby-studded collar. What I didn’t expect was a desperate elf on my doorstep, begging for help to find her missing parents. Nor did I think that my search would drag me back into the magical world I’d tried so hard to leave behind.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

Story
Remi Hayes is beginning to think she’s cursed—her fiancé cheated on her, her brother Jude is a major pain in her ass, and the moldering mansion she inherited from her uncle might just be haunted. Flipping Blackleaf Manor already feels impossible, even before Remi is blackmailed by Dane Covett, the dangerously hot doctor-next-door, and Grimstone’s most eligible bachelor—if you can ignore the fact that everyone in town thinks he murdered his wife.

Story
To enter the woods as a human means death… But I am no mere human. They call me, “witch.” As one of the last surviving witches, Faelyn’s sole duty is to keep the protective barriers on the forests where the lykin roam—creatures who can shed flesh for fur—sparing nearby humans from their violent, beastly natures. When she has an unlikely encounter with the rare, primordial spirit of the moon, Faelyn finds herself not only the object of the Wolf King’s desire, but essential to his ability to keep his crown.

Story
Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: She can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down.

Different from other Lindsay Buroker books

The characters were interesting, and the romance between the two a bit unexpected, but also, quite sweet. This was an overall pretty clean romance with very little to almost no spice. Thus, the characters spent time getting to know one another and allowing a relationship to develop over time, which I like. It's definitely slow-burn.
The mystery of the "cursed castle" - along with a plot where deception is rampant on all sides, with both the Monarchy and the rebels both being made out as the "bad guys" with mostly those who are supposed to protect the Kingdom and uphold the law being the most honest, save for some involved in this group they call "The Rangers"
I also enjoyed the mystical creatures in the book. They're unique, interesting and made me smile. or giggle a few times. Especially the "Taybari" (unsure if I spelled that correctly) - but their relationship with the female protagonist is adorable.
The female protagonist is likeable overall. she's realistically sure, yet unsure of herself. She also seems to attract bad luck at every turn. Her original task to set up a meadery with her brother is suddenly turned into the adventure of a lifetime, leaving the girl forced into joining these Rangers, before then being forced to run to attempt to prove her innocence of a false accusation.
It seems like one crazy thing after another happens to her, but she just goes with the flow, alimg with her brother, who is comically logical and intelligent.
The characters were all interesting and diverse. I look forward to seeing where this story goes from here.
I also enjoyed the narrator quite a bit. I think she did a really good job at making distinctive voices for each, without going overboard.
I recommend this read for those who enjoy more simple, sweet and cozy fantasy romances, rather than epic, and indepth fantasy stories.

I’m not going to lie—I really want to hear the remaining three books in this series narrated. Of course, I had to check if more books existed, and thankfully they do. However, they haven’t been turned into audiobooks yet, and I know it’ll take time for the voice actor to bring those to life. I can’t wait for that to happen.
Yes, I know the stories are out there. Yes, I know the voice actor is still around. And yes, I’m trying to resist the temptation to buy the eBooks and read them myself, though I might cave—and even then, I’d still eagerly wait for the audiobooks.
This series is absolutely intriguing. The dynamics between the siblings and the ensemble cast are fascinating, with a level of psychological and therapeutic depth that I couldn’t help but notice. Whether or not the author intended it, the story speaks volumes about self-discovery and the journey to finding your true self.
This is just the beginning of the series, but it’s already so captivating. I’m excited to see where it goes.
