The Dagger and the Forbidden Heir

The Forbidden Heir Trilogy, Book 1

By: Emilia Jae

Narrated by: Amanda Dolan, Corvin King

Can they survive the truth of their war? Can their hearts?

A century ago, an exchange was proposed: a life saved for a war of revenge.

Captain Lia Solus of the fae army, and the secret bastard daughter of the king, is reminded of those consequences daily. Unable to claim her heritage or her throne, she's powerless to stop the innocent bloodshed that her birth ushered in.

On the other side of the lines, Commander Jace Cadoria gladly fights the war of his ancestors to slaughter the fae who have terrorized the humans of their realm for generations. With a cunning plan to trap them, the end could finally be in sight. Except it quickly spirals out of control, leaving Lia and Jace, enemies of opposite sides, stranded together in a dangerous terrain.

Engaged in an intimate battle of their own, both warring to take control, they'll need their wits now more than ever to survive. Because this fight could cost their lives—and their hearts.

Throne of Glass meets House of the Dragon in The Forbidden Heir Trilogy, a fun and chaotic new take on fantasy, featuring enemies-to-lovers, modernized banter, dragons, heartache, adventure, and dark sorcery that grows throughout the series. This is told from multiple first-person POVs, including the villains, and is a character-driven romantic fantasy. The story will be enjoyed by lovers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Carissa Broadbent. For mature listeners.

What a story!

I’ve had this book on my TBR for what feels like forever and I’m so glad I finally read it! Emilia Jae had me hooked from the first few words. I have so many theories for the next books and I can’t wait to dive into them.

The narrators did an excellent job! My only complaint being that I wish they differed in the accents a little more so it’s easier to tell when the pov changes. I found myself having to go back to my listen screen to see who’s pov it was. Overall though I think they did great bringing the story to life!

Ok hello Corvin King??

I could not stop this once I started!! I was so sucked into the story and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

the story line,

love it, this would be great as a graphic aditubal with different voices. Great listen!

Holy smokes, the emotional whiplash!!

I read this book a while back, but listened to the audio for a re-read. The emotional whiplash was much more intense with the audio!! I love Lia and Jace, and I especially loved the multiple POV from other characters. So well done!! Heading to the next book right now!!

It says romance but the whole time I was mad

Not mad at the book, I actually think for an enemies to lovers the relatively slower pace didn’t seem so fast it’s like damn okay? And it wasn’t so slow I’m out here like damn can yall just do it already? I’ll have to read it physically but the audio version is so! Good!

soo good!

borderline perfection! It's enemies to lovers, star-crossed mates, badass MFC, fae romantacy.
Trigger warning: that eludes to sexual assault as a 3rd person as well as some groping and attempts to sexualy assault the MFC.

This Had My Attention!!

Such a good start to the series. The reviews r spot on!! Get it! Read it! U won't be disappointed!

Absolute perfection!

This story is so perfect and the voice actors both did an amazing job! Great voice and fluctuation! I would listen to it again!

Pretty good

This was good. Probably wouldn’t have started it knowing it ends on a cliffhanger but I’m glad I did. The narrators did a good job. The story is a little predictable but it’s fast paced and easy to easy to read and listen to. Not sure I’ll continue right away but I’ll circle back when I need something to read.

Bought book 2 before end of book 1

Great story! The entire audio experience had me buying book 2 before finishing book 1 because I knew I would need to hear more!!
