About this audiobook

A STOLEN BRIDE. A TERRIFYING BRIDEGROOM. THE GAME THAT WILL DETERMINE THEIR FATES.

I’m a practical girl. I can resign myself to an unwanted marriage – and I had. I just didn’t expect my first potential bridegroom to be murdered by the second and all because I broke the Law of Greeting.

No one warned me the law existed. No one told me breaking it would mean I’d be swept up into the arms of a powerful and beautiful immortal bent on taking me as his sixteenth bride and dragging me off to his strange world. That’s a bit much to ask of a person.

But I’m not the kind of girl to just give up. Not even if it means facing all the strange mystery and magic of this mad fae world with nothing but my common sense.

I will not mope in my room, or go crazy, or let myself be killed by one of his rivals.

And I absolutely WILL NOT fall in love with him.

Not even when he keeps surprising me with depths and kindness I didn’t expect. Not even if it turns out he actually might have a good reason for all of this.

After all, he’s had fifteen wives before me and it’s not a case of “the more the merrier.”

Especially not now, when it turns out he's playing a game for the fate of my nation. Failure in this world will mean the desolation of everyone I love.

The stakes couldn't be higher. But I have a crafty husband, a severed head best friend who gives surprisingly good advice, and the common sense my mother gave me, and if that isn’t enough to take on the whole of this fae world ... well, they’ll just have to be. That's all there is to it. Because I'm not dying unless I have a very good reason.


Come along on a wild romantic fantasy adventure with USA Today bestselling author Sarah K. L. Wilson, guaranteed to enthrall, delight, and maybe even surprise you.

"I wasn’t a trinket to be enjoyed for an evening and discarded. I was more like a marriage sword, to be worn with honor for all your life." Fly with the Arrow is a retelling of the French folklore Bluebeard. I didn't read the description when I got this book on the last Stuff Your Earbuds event; the cover and the tropes were enough for me to want to give it a listen, and I am so glad I did. I enjoyed this story more than expected. In the beginning, Izolda seemed too passive, but throughout the story, she showed that she was assertive and intelligent. I loved her witty character. I also loved that Izolda and Bluebeard couldn't communicate directly to each other; he could speak to her after dusk and she to him at daytime. I liked Bluebeard's as well and hope to gain more insight into his character as the series continues.

DEVASTATING! I bought it to listen at work for maybe a day or two depending on if I can't get it all in during my 8 hours due to listening breaks while working. However, I failed successfully because when I got home I could not stop listening and I'm seriously afraid I'm going to get through all 4 books over the weekend and I'll have to find something new for work!!!!!!!
