About this listen

The stunning conclusion of a worldwide phenomenon - from the boldly original author of Captive Prince and Prince's Gambit.

His identity now revealed, Damen must face his master, Prince Laurent, as Damianos of Akielos, the man Laurent has sworn to kill. On the brink of a momentous battle, the future of both their countries hangs in the balance. In the south, Kastor's forces are massing. In the north, the Regent's armies are mobilizing for war. Damen's only hope of reclaiming his throne is to fight together with Laurent against their usurpers. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two princes journey deep into Akielos, where they face their most dangerous opposition yet. But even if the fragile trust they have built survives the revelation of Damen's identity, can it stand against the Regents final, deadly play for the throne?

This was my favourite book of the series, Laurent's and character development was not only gratifying and well written but it made Laurent a character that had so many dimensions and was so interesting that I'm so sad there are no further books exploring his personality.

Wonderful conclusion, magnificent trilogy

Loved the series - relieved that I only discovered them once all were published! It is an object lesson in frustration tolerance. I have noticed some criticism of some of the themes in the books. Other than the relative acceptance of m/m pairings, I did not read anything in this 'fantasy' which has not happened within many cultures held in high regard, particularly in the West within the last 150 years or so. Some may be titillated by the non-consensual aggressions/transgressions in the book; that is for individual readers to consider and not to assume how others experience them. I did not find these sections anything other than horrorific, and yet necessary, given the essential dynamics. I identified with many of the characters, whether good, bad, or in-between. A rare and very welcome occurrence for me. Thank you for the books C.S.Pacat. At a somewhat difficult time in my life they have been greatly validating for me, and after several years have brought about my falling back in love with love. Stephen Bel Davies was a perfect voice actor for me . . . at 90% speed his Laurent was an admixture of Bette, Marilyn, with a large measure of husky Lauren Becall! Changed my life x

Pacat's writing and Stephen Bel D - perfect

Brilliant series! just a slightly disappointing ending but the narrator more than makes up for it

i was ready to DNF the capitive prince but stuck with it as the last third really set the next 2 books up. they had me gripped and this book almost finished me off with all the emotions.

I loved the complex characters and getting to see them change and develop.

the love between damen and laurent, was beautiful to see develop, so well written, heartfelt and real.

this is one of the few times I wished there was an epilogue set a fews later.

loved this

Well written. Well thought out. A genuine pleasure to listen to. I've enjoyed this trilogy and I'm only sad the final bells weren't wedding bells but no book is absolutely perfect lol

fantastic

A wonderful end to a fantastic trilogy. C. S. Pacat’s writing is mesmerising and so memorable. These books, Damen and Laurent will stay with me and for that I am grateful. P. S. For those of you like me, who is sometimes an impatient reader, audio edition narrated beautifully by Stephen Bel Davies is a perfect way to slow down and enjoy the story and the stunning writing. Highly recommended as an audio book.

Magnificent

KR triumphantly concludes this Trilogy. Many times I doubted that Damen and Laurent would win the day with every plot twist or set back or our men being put through yet another ringer! Yet they do having given everything to amend and atone. The Regent had a ‘boo hiss’ quality towards the end but manipulations and machinations were fun,

🎧 I repeat myself when I say that the explicit scenes are very elegantly written. They are so sublime, so exquisite and, so, thank goodness that Stephen Bel Davies does them all justice! The narrator has such tight control of the vocal choices for all speaking parts that not once does he slip or let his chosen inflection waiver in heated exchanges or snappy verbal spats or group scenes. The narration work by Mr Davies is understatedly excellent throughout. There is just simply nothing quite like the Captive Prince Trilogy. Thank you so much, Ms Pacat. Very nicely done, Mr Davies.
