Frangione is the longtime narrator of this series, and his familiarity with it adds to the listening experience.
Narrator Jim Frangione once again draws listeners into Ward's world, where humans coexist with vampires (unbeknownst to the humans). The vampires are being hunted by creatures known as Lessers. Vampire Allhan has an unexpected encounter with Princess Dennesha. Passion flares between them, but both are struggling with secrets: Frangione conveys Dennesha’s frustration with her destiny, and he fully expresses Allhan’s agony as he’s torn between trying to protect his sister and betraying his adopted family. The vampire race is protected by The Brotherhood, and Frangione perfectly brings the brothers to life.

Review Posted Online: Sept. 15, 2026
A gothic audiobook that deftly tugs listeners through myriad dark and romantic emotions.
A talented ensemble delivers this polyamorous horror audiobook set in 1850s London. After Agnes is hanged for witchcraft, Irene, voiced by Charlie Albers, uses forbidden necromancy to bring her lover back to life. But when Agnes, voiced by Ella Lynch, wakes, so does a new hunger for raw flesh. James Meunier portrays St. John, Irene’s undead husband and protector of generations of necromantic grimoires. In a story full of introspection, flashbacks, and the horrors of necromancy, each narrator sinks into their character’s raw emotions and conveys them with an intensity that will wrench listeners’ hearts.
