About This Audiobook

Traitorous spies don’t deserve happily ever afters.

Dahlia has always known her life would end at the bottom of a hangman’s noose. But treason seems a small price to pay if it meant a chance to free her people from the iron grip of their tyrannical king. Dahlia can’t fail the rebellion now.

Dahlia’s time playing the role of obedient handmaiden to Odette, the king’s entitled daughter, comes to an end when Odette is sent to marry her betrothed, and Dahlia strikes without mercy. After a swift mutiny en route to Haven Harbor, she forces the king’s daughter to trade places with her and upon arrival, masquerades in her mistress’s place.

If she can ensure Haven Harbor’s loyalty to her rebellion, the king’s oppressive reign could end. But the princess’s fiancé, Korth, isn’t the man she expected, and her loyalties become torn as she begins to fall for him. Continuing the façade will force Dahlia to betray Korth, but to reveal the truth spells her own treasonous demise.

Is a life of lies better than no life at all?

Betraying Korth is the third book in the Legends of Neverland series but can also be listened to as a stand-alone novel.

Warning: This review contains some spoilers

This book was everything I wanted and more! The conflict between right and wrong and the question of what is really right hit hard and I was on Dahlia’s side from the get-go. I loved the way she staged the mutiny on the ship without anyone getting hurt and watching…

A fantastic, binge-worthy, emotional rollercoaster of a retelling!

I absolutely loved this book! The Goose Girl may a lesser-known fairytale, but Mary Mecham twisted it into a fantastic story that deserves to be as popular as Cinderella! If you want twisted, villianous retellings, characters that do the wrong thing for the right reasons and who take action instead…

Love this series

I'm a big fan of the Legends of Neverland series, I didn't think a shared universe based around Peter Pan would be my thing but it turns out I'm hooked (no pun intended)It's refreshing to read a romance book that's not filled to the brim with with awkward spice scenes…
