Summary
Rescued from slavers, healer novice Jaime Buchanan finds himself alone and free in Pyrderi, a kingdom of magic, mythical creatures, and a culture as open and kind as his homeland was cruel and close-minded. Despite his rescue, Jaime is not left without scars, both mental and physical.
Traumatized by his experience and hiding his gift, Jaime struggles to earn his place in the kitchens of Angharad Palace, the heart of Taliesin City. His former life as a student of the healing arts leaves him at a disadvantage in the kitchens, and his damaged state is becoming more apparent by the day.
One day, when necessity and fate intervene, Jaime meets someone unexpected - Prince Maxim, youngest son of the Pyrderian King, a sword master and a devastatingly kind man. Unaccustomed to powerful people with compassion and heart, Jaime flees. A cascade of events reveals Jaime's hidden talents of healing, and he finds himself not in chains, but at the beginning of a new life. This swift change of fortune opens Jaime up to new possibilities, including a smitten prince who cautiously courts Jaime, easing him away from his fears and reminding him that compassion and love can make him strong.
The winter solstice is quickly approaching, and Prince Maxim shows Jaime the enjoyment and excitement to be found in a land that embraces the ice and cold, and the mysteries of all things magical. He learns to see the man under the royal mantle, and Maxim is more than even Jaime suspected. The winter solstice is nigh when tragedy strikes, and Jaime learns that his past of grief and sorrow can be a pillar of strength for his solstice prince. If there is one thing that Jaime believes above all else, it is in the healing power of love. Contains mature themes.

Terrible narrator
The story wasn't what I expected from reading the blurb. it was a sweet love story that I struggled to finish because of the terrible narration. I don't know what U.S listeners think British regional accents sound like but as a native I know Joel can't do passable UK accents. His British accents were off putting and distracted from the story. shame.

Old lady fantasy
The superb narrator is wasted on this book, When I read a description, I thought it would be a romantic love story, but from the start it reads like a fetishized female fantasy, Yet again, we have a hunky male and a weak male (a.k.a. the self-insert of the female writer). We meet the prince right away and are made aware of his muscular thighs. The slave boy is terrified but notices all the relevant body parts. The prince gets a bit touchy with the slave boy on this same meeting, and the boy fancies the prince instantly. All the potential for conflict is removed as well, because we are informed than the prince's kingdom has no slavery, and all the servants are very nice to the slave boy. We're also instantly informed of the whole background story of the slave boy, just to get it out of the way. This is insulting and does no justice to LGB,

sweet love story
it's a sweet love story but not much else, I like that there's no forced drama between the two characters. it's just an easy listen, though the narrator seem to use similar voices for a lot of characters so gets a little muddled in parts working out who's speaking. overall not a bad listen but not sure if I would highly recommend

Having come from some high-stakes fantasy, this was a lovely palette cleanser
A beautiful, well-constructed, vividly-described tale that follows a simple yet beautifully rewarding happily ever after.

Sweet but dull.
The whole story is an extended happily ever after epilogue. Everything interesting happened before the start of the novel. There's no conflict, no peril, no misunderstandings, no betrayal... no substance.

Another hit
I have listened to this audio book 3 times already! This only problem? If is too short! I wanted more. The main characters are so sweet. The story is low angst and feel good.
