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
