A COURT OF SILVER FLAMES (2 OF 2) A Court of Thorns and Roses 4

Voice actor Colleen Delany narrates the conclusion to the Court of Thorns and Roses series, set amid the Night Court of the High Fae. Proud, prickly, short-tempered Nesta Archeron, portrayed by Natalie Van Sistine, spars with her battle-scarred lover, silken voiced Cassian, performed by Jon Vertullo. Sometimes they tangle between the sheets in scenes of explicit sex; sometimes they duel on practice fields as they learn swordplay and self-defense. Cassian trains Nesta and her friends--gentle archivist Gwyn, depicted by Aure Nash, and the Valkyrie Emerie, portrayed by Renee Drian--to prepare them for the impending savage blood rites, which take place amid clanging swords, swooshing blades, and dramatic music. Quiet interludes filled with soothing music provide moments of respite between vicious battles. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2024]
