About This Audiobook

Emma Night’s *Infernal* isn’t your typical royal fantasy—it’s a razor-sharp blend of political intrigue and supernatural dread, wrapped in a love story that burns slow before detonating. When Roman, the newly crowned king of Athenai, discovers his father’s murder wasn’t just a palace coup but a supernatural assassination, he’s forced to confront a conspiracy that twists both magic and loyalty into lethal knots. The world Night builds is gothic and intimate, where every whispered spell feels like a blade against the throat, and every alliance could be a noose. The romance, when it arrives, isn’t the soft focus of courtly love—it’s a tempest, all fire and fury, where trust is the rarest currency. If you crave fantasy that doesn’t shy away from the ugly side of power, this is your book.

Adrienne Fleming’s narration is the secret weapon here. She doesn’t just deliver Roman’s internal collapse with gut-wrenching precision—she makes the secondary characters feel like living, breathing threats. Her voice for the unseen sorcerer pulling strings? Chillingly calm, the kind of calm that makes your skin crawl. Fleming balances the weight of Night’s prose with a pacing that never drags, even when the political machinations could bog down another story. The production is crisp, with subtle sound design that lingers just long enough to unsettle you before vanishing like a shadow. *Infernal* is short but doesn’t waste a second—every line feels deliberate, every inflection a clue.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

I went into *Infernal* expecting a standard royal fantasy with a side of magic, but Night and Fleming turned that expectation into kindling. Roman isn’t a hero—he’s a man drowning in grief and suspicion, and Fleming’s performance makes his unraveling feel visceral. There’s a scene where he stares at his father’s bloodstained crown in the dark, and her voice cracks just enough to sell the raw emotion. The magic system is the star here: it’s not flashy or elemental, but a quiet, creeping force that twists words and memories, making the supernatural feel personal. The romance, when it ignites, is all-consuming. The chemistry between Roman and the mysterious ally-turned-enemy is electric, but it’s not handled with kid gloves—Night writes it as a battle of wills first, attraction second. That said, the audiobook isn’t flawless. The sound mixing occasionally buries key lines in heavy breathing or ambient noise, making it hard to catch crucial details during the densest political scenes. And while the pacing is tight, the abrupt ending left me wanting just a bit more resolution—less of a cliffhanger, more of a satisfied exhale. But the flaws are minor compared to the strengths. If you want a fantasy that feels like a dagger to the ribs rather than a gentle poke, *Infernal* is your audiobook. Fleming’s narration alone is worth the listen, even if the story stumbles slightly at the finish line.
