Alright Tokybook fam – grab your daggers, unleash the forbidden magick, and prepare to fall headfirst into dark fae obsession, blood-stained sacrifice, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers that absolutely devours. Here’s your feral, typo-laced, “why is the villain hot?” audiobook review for The Wraith King (The Rise of Northgall, Book 1) by Juliette Cross. 
The Wraith King – She’s the Light. He’s the Darkness. And Together They’re Gonna Burn This Whole Realm Down 
OKAY LISTEN—
This book is feral fae fantasy romance PERFECTION.
We’re talking:
– 
Brutal war sacrifice
– 
One bed but make it political surrender
– Dark king energy that says “you’re mine” before she even knows her name
– 
Hidden magic + secret prophecy + so much tension you will forget to breathe
It’s violent. Vicious. VULNERABLE.
And so. Damn. Good.
Una Hartstone: Light Fae, Fierce Soul, Sacrificial Queen Energy
Una is not your fragile flower princess.
She’s:
– Noble but NOT naïve
– Courageous in that quiet, powerful way
– Willing to give herself for peace—but not without terms
– Carrying deep wounds and secrets even she doesn’t understand
And when she’s handed over to the Wraith King?
She doesn’t shatter.
She rises.
She learns him.
And the way she slowly, reluctantly, begins to feel for him???
It’s breathtakingly slow-burn.
It’s aching.
It’s unholy in the BEST way.
Gollaya Verbane (aka Goll): Your New Favorite Unhinged Dark Fae Husband
Goll is:
– Cold. Commanding. Calculated.
– Covered in scars, secrets, and sacrilege
– Worshipped and feared
– And madly, quietly, deeply obsessed with the one light he cannot control
He thinks Una is just prophecy fuel.
Just a key to power.
But then she breathes. Talks back. Stands tall.
And suddenly, he’s not the one in control anymore.
He would kill empires to keep her.
And if anyone touches her?
Yeah. Ashes.
The Plot: War. Betrayal. Prophecy. Court Politics. And That One Bed Scene.
From a war-torn realm to the twisted palace of Näkt Mir, this book does not let up.
There’s:
– 
One throne, many enemies
– Tension in every hallway, ballroom, and corridor
– 
A traitor in the palace (and they’re so CLOSE)
– 
A mystery tied to Una’s true nature
– 
A love story that builds slowly, then detonates
Also:
– The spice?? Unhinged-level tension with ritualistic vibes
– The payoff?? Satisfyingly primal
– The love?? Unconditional and ruinous.
Audiobook Vibes: Powerful, Dark, and Emotionally Loaded
Whoever voices these characters? You deserve a crown.
Una’s narration = soft but strong.
Goll’s voice = deep, dangerous, and full of restraint that slips exactly when you need it to.
They don’t just read. They embody.
And when the emotions hit? You will FEEL it.
Final Verdict – Come for the Fae War, Stay for the Unholy Devotion
The Wraith King is:
– Dark fantasy done RIGHT
– A twisted romance where obsession meets honor
– 
A slow-burn that never lets go
– 
Book one of what promises to be a violent, magical, emotionally wrecking series
If you:
– Love brutal kings who fall on their knees for ONE woman
– Crave high-stakes fantasy with intense romance
– Want a heroine who grows into a weapon
– Need an HEA where he’ll burn the realm to keep her
Then this book will RUIN YOU in the best way possible.
Sorry for the emotional damage—I was possessed by a dark fae king while writing this. Tokybook fam, The Wraith King doesn’t whisper love… it claims, devours, and sanctifies it in blood.
