The Iron Crown

The Darkest Court, Book 3

By: M.A. Grant

Narrated by: John Solo

After the last Faerie Civil War, the leaders of the magickal pantheons stripped the shining Seelie Court of its power and tasked the dark Unseelie Court with maintaining the natural balance of the world. Ages later, a twisted intrigue throws the balance of all Faerie into ruin and ignites a new civil war.

Discounted by his family and haunted in the Unseelie sidhe, Queen Mab's youngest son, Lugh, leads the Wild Hunt on quests across the dangerous Wylds. At his side is his best friend, Keiran, a Viking rescued from death centuries earlier. Between Lugh's uncanny gift for being in the right place at the right time and Keiran's power of persuasion, they're revered across the Wylds - as long as Lugh keeps his true identity hidden from the people of the Sluagh.

Keiran and Lugh have loved each other for centuries - as friends and brothers in arms. Lugh has long since put aside his romantic love for Keiran to protect their friendship. But with the looming war in Faerie and the ghosts of the dead dogging Lugh's every move, Keiran realizes there may be room for romance between them after all, if only they can survive.

Contains mature themes.

Favorite series

I love all the 3 books. All the characters are greatly portrayed and John Solo is an incredible narrator.

Loved!!

Love the story line and character relations. What a beautiful world. Hope there’s more books in this world to come!

Interesting but good

This is a new author for me. Don’t always have good luck with new authors but decided to take a chance. The story never got boring, had a hard time putting it down to sleep. Lol. Enjoyed the intrigue. No characters whining, narrator is very good. Have always enjoyed John solo. All in all I very much enjoyed the series.

amazing story

amazing story great love interests and the sex scenes were steamy all around amazing book

Perfection!

The whole series is incredible! The audio is perfect! Well paced and entertaining, with so much expression! I was entranced from beginning to end!

This book had everything

When comparing this book to the others in the series you would think it would have the same abrupt ending. This book does a great job of tying everything together but still showing the growth of the relationships from the past two books. Overall I really enjoyed the book and a series

Emo boys in love

I’ve enjoyed the series, and this story in particular put a lot of things together that were left unexplained in the previous two, but DAMN these boys are emo af. John Solo’s melancholy narration is the perfect accompaniment to so much ennui and angst, slowly wandering through the dark hallways of their minds, as you watch them ignore every opportunity to turn on the light. It’s almost painful.

Outstanding

The story , the characters , it was so amazing to be Emerged in this world with descriptive And Compelling characters.I just could not get enough of it.I wish it would never end

magical, thrilling, and romantic series conclusion

A magical, thrilling, and romantic conclusion to the Darkest Court series, the Iron Crown centers on Lugh, the youngest prince of the Unseelie Winter Court, and Kieran, his longtime companion and protector.

I completely enjoyed their journey from a platonic friendship to a greater love and sexual intimacy, and I loved how they became true equals in the end. They had a truly special relationship that was built on long-standing trust, friendship, and loyalty. From the moment Lugh found Kieran, they were inseparable.

I was fascinated by the pair’s magical abilities, which turned out to be more awesome and important to the main plot than I first thought. And I liked how their partnership was so vital in identifying and defeating the main villain.

I liked how the villain and the princes’ mother Queen Mab were complex and interesting characters as well. And I liked how the brothers came through for each other and their family, while treasuring and fighting for their found families.

I hope the author writes more fantasy m/m romance, because I enjoyed this series very much. John Solo's narration was perfect!

Favorite
