About this listen
Get the audiobook edition of Regina Watts's ultra-steamy first harem novel - and hear the story read to you by Sierra Kline!
Rorke Burningsoul, Paladin of Weltyr, has been betrayed.
With the object of his most recent quest stolen out from under him, Rorke has been left for dead in the treacherous Nightlands: a place hateful to all surface-dwellers, full of things the human - even the elfin - eye has never seen. Gray-faced berich dwarves, frightful half-spider misshapens - and, of course, the sensual and dark-complexioned durrow elves, a race of power-hungry women who live in service to the goddess Roserpine.
Praise Weltyr, Rorke is rescued by two such splendid durrow - and told that, in exchange for his life, he must now submit to slavery as, among other things, breeding stud to the female race. He willingly agrees, hopeful that his obedience will help him find a way out of the Nightlands and back to the business of retrieving the lost artifact: But when the Materna of the durrow city decides during his appraisal that she needs a new guard, he is soon surprised to find himself taken, heart and soul, by the exquisite durrow high priestess known as Valeria.
But Valeria's need of a personal guard is not just some ruse to keep her new slave in her bedroom without controversy - would that it were. The high priestess' life is at stake, and as her assassins' attacks grow more frequent all the time, she needs the assistance of a man capable of keeping himself alive along with her.
Who better than a paladin she's seen in dreams for decades?
Mature listeners only! This fantasy harem adventure in the style of Dungeons & Dragons contains explicit encounters between the lucky hero and many gorgeous women he encounters on his quest. Use discretion when purchasing.

Story
I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms.

Story
Resurrected to dominate or die again, Andric was much like anyone else, further along in his life than he wanted to be—much further along and waiting to finally become the main character of his own story. Fate had a funny joke for him, though. He died. Unexpectedly, he was given the strangest of plot developments—he resurrected in what seemed to be a GACHA game, being given another chance on another world, one where he could redefine himself, starting with an unknown class, of all things. Andric can only roll with it, since there isn’t another choice. It’s time to start again.

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

An experimental ASI with a terminal case of curiosity reached out and tampered with the universe in a way that it should not have, and unleashed a torrent of energy we would call magic into our galaxy. Humans, and every other intelligent lifeform for that matter, were ill-prepared, physically and mentally, for such an eventuality. In an effort to save itself, the ASI hastily created something it called the Framework to shape and codify this magical energy, and usher in a new world. A world of classes, levels, and extraordinary power. But also a world of monsters.

Saiya Buchanan is a wraith, able to detach her shadow from her body and send it off to do her bidding. But, unlike most of her kin, Saiya doesn't deal in death. Instead, she trades secrets - and in the goblin besieged city of Stirling in Scotland, they're a highly prized commodity.

When Gabriel de Florinville, a Dark Elf, is sent as royal envoy into Stirling and takes her prisoner, Saiya is not only going to uncover the sinister truth.

He also remembered hair as white as starlight, eyes like amethysts, and the name Shalia. Fortunately, it was the right name to know. Shalia was the elves’ goddess, and that made him her herald.

easy read, steamy and full of fantasy
my only complaint is that book 2 isn't available on here yet 😅
definitely a reverse of what I'd typically listen too. as a reverse harem fantasy fanatic this book has opened up a whole new world and look into the fantasy genre. and adding the dynamic of faith and some good old fashioned heroism with a nice story line it ties together nicely

......welp. TLDR Its good.
So I'm having a tough time trying to put my thoughts into words for this review. This will probably be one of the most genuine review I've made while listening to any story.
I was flaccid for well...the entire story. No I don't have ED, yes I'm a red blooded man who likes his fair share of eroctic fiction, yes the majority of this story was spicy and for all intents and purpose erotic beyond reasonable.
It just so happens that the fetishes explored are not my cup of tea.
This explores femdom, bdsm, and lightly brushes past cuckholdry at least up to the point I've have listened to.
While these fetishs are not much my preferences, I still feel I can comment on the quality of the writing and narration.
Both were very well done, the narration especially so. Sierra had done a magnificent job breathing life into the characters presented, and while I feel a male narrator for male characters could improve the immersion, her vocal range does an impeccable job regardless.
Writing-wise, the other concepts surrounding the eroticism were really thought provoking for me.
It bring into question what the mind of a willing slave is like, and the adaptability of one put into such a position. The "enemies" where written in a way that humanizes them, presenting realistic motivations and goals. They're all not just some faceless monsters to be slain.
This story also paints a picture of how Stockholm syndrome (others may not see it that way) may develop to me. While I don't agree with main characters decisions or how he reacts to some of the situations he finds himself in, I still find his responses interesting and well within the character he is being developed into.
People and things are consistent. There won't be random 180's on how a character is presented and their action/dialog. No sudden and random changes like a pacifist going on a killing spree, or a innocent virtues women suddenly unable to resist the protagonist dick.
Will I recommend this...yes. If what I wrote of above suites your taste, I would say this is a fantastic read. BUT just know what your getting into. Alot of men can't get past all the machismo and just admit that what this book presents isn't in their wheel house and let it be.
I've seen other reviews. Those that lambast the MC for acting/responding in a manner that conflicts with their ideals on what a big strong man should do. No. Thats stupid. This just presents quality fiction for a reading/listen base with particular preferences.
Damn.... this turned out to be one of my longest reviews. Whatever. I said what I wanted and ment it. If my thoughts change as I finish this, I'll edit it. Deuces! ✌

Hits a lot of my favorite things.
I’m a big Drow fan and especially like how this strongly followed their matriarch society. The protagonist being a Paladin was also very enjoyable.

Dark and fun
TLDR: Paladin has a BDSM (he ends up as every letter at some point, but a lot is femdom) adventure with dark elves while being held as a slave, some romance, some action, MFF+ elements. Strong recommend.
Rorke Burningsoul is an unrepentant paladin of Weltyr, and if he needs to smite demons or help people that are maybe not as human as most on the surface would like, he's going to do it.
While on a holy quest he ends up making a vow to be a slave (under duress) and goes to the Durrow (dark elf) city of El'ryh. While he is disrespected, mistreated etc some as a slave, he also finds that the Durrow enjoy a man who's as smooth with his words as he is with a sword.
In short, he is verrry popular with the ladies, both for being a badass and being a well spoken and honorable paladin, and much of the book is erotic in nature. As you might have guessed a lot of this has BDSM tones, given his slavery. Also romance, which is a hair surprising, but very well done.
Just to be clear, Rorke at one point or another experiences every letter in that acronym, although it is mostly Dom/Sub stuff back and forth. It does make sense in the story as he already submits himself body and soul to Weltyr, so not a big stretch.
There is no cucking, hell there are barely any males in the story proportionally speaking. Not sure where the other reviewer got that.
There is some action which is well written, has heavy D&D feel to it.
Also, shoutout to Sierra, was a little unsure at first but she really nails the feel of the story and the durrow voices (esp Valeria) in particular.

Such a unique story!
It's easy to get distracted by the compelling adult scenes and not notice the complex subversion of the MC's and supporting characters moral values. Two scions of opposing religions vieing to corrupt each other through sex and power games is a surprisingly compelling plot that I don't believe I've ever seen before.
If you can't accept a MC that is willing to be dominated for any reason, this book isn't for you.
If you're still reading, by all means buy this book!
It's a delightfully dark and extremely sexy take on 'drow' society and illustrates the defilement of a 'good' man in loving detail. Highly recommend for anyone who can deal with a less dominant MC! Even if that isn't you cup of tea, check it out... you might surprise yourself.
Instant guilty pleasure for me!
Narration is outstanding.

Excellent Erotica Lackluster Story
This was overall an enjoyable audiobook. The characters were a bit simple but not overly so. The story plot was interesting but also a bit simple. The last hour or so of the story was rather a let down for me. However the eroticism was quite something.
MINOR SPOILERS....
My only real issue was that this assassination could have been foiled so easily in my opinion. The prime conspirators all have acid blood. It would be really easy to uncover assassins with acid blood. But this obvious clue to uncovering the identify of the shapeshifters is overlooked.
It was hard not to enjoy this audiobook even with it's flaws. Aside from the ending I liked it.

Dark and Sexy
I love the combination of dark and sexy. It isn't often that I find a book that uses Dark Elves and the slavery often depicted in their culture. I am looking forward to seeing how things progress with the Paladin and three Drow.

ehhh no
if you enjoy "submissive" MC then sure this is your book. I only listen to a few chapters, so take my review with a grain of salt. the story had premise but the MC was acting too weak for my taste. he was just caught and already submitted. I understand his honor but still no plan or fight. yes he fought back when he was/did get branded. he also wanted to get punished. no just no. a little bit of femdom is fine for me but this was nope. again if you like submissive male MC, try this book but if you like your MCs' tough and a go getter,dodge this
