About this audiobook
She calls to him. Come to me. You can't resist. But Gryphon will not allow himself to be ruled by the insidious whispers in his head. And there's only one way to stop them: kill Atalanta, the goddess who enslaved him. But with so much darkness inside, he can't be sure what's real anymore. Even the Eternal Guardians, those who protect the human realms and the gods, want to exile him.
Finding Malea is like a miracle. Somehow he doesn't feel the pull of the dark when she's near. And he's determined to keep her as near as possible, whether she wants him close or not. But she's a temptation that will test every bit of control he has left. One that may ultimately have the power to send him back to the underworld . . . or free him from his chains for good.

Struggling in the aftermath of his torturous ordeal in the Underworld, Gryphon is determined to get away from the pity and fear he sees in the eyes of those around him. Likewise, Maelea, the unwanted daughter of Persephone and Zeus, seeks only to escape the confines of the sanctuary concealing her from the vengeful wrath of her mother's husband, Hades. Encountering each other on their way out, this unlikely pair find themselves on the run from all factions: Argonauts, Misos, hellhounds and daemons. Their only chance of survival - each other.
Series note: This is book #5 in the series and as there is an ongoing story arc, it is recommended that the books be read in order.
Naughton's makes excellent use of elements from Greek Mythology in her world building by putting her own unique twists on the traditional themes and tropes. The rivalry between Atalanta and the Argonauts and the conflicts between the various gods are incorporated effectively into the storyline and add an extra layer of tension.
Gryphon and Maelea's romance is very entertaining. They have great chemistry to begin with, and this is only enhanced by the "on the run" trope as it highlights the development of their relationship from fear and mistrust to grudging respect and affection to love. This gradual progression makes their romance all the more believable.
Gryphon and Maelea are also dealing with deeper emotional scars arising from their individual traumas whether it is Gryphon's guilt at becoming Atalanta's pawn or Malea's brittle confidence stemming from the betrayals of her parents. These two lonely outcast are searching to belong and finally find love and acceptance with each other.
All in all, one of the sweeter romances in an enjoyable series. Looking forward to Titus's book next. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great book! Even after I took a pause between this one and the last.. Gryphon and Maelea were a wonderful match to each other. Could be my favourite of the series... we'll have to see.. Titus is up next and I can't wait!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Michelle L. Olson:*eARC received from NetGalley.Yet another incredible installment in the Eternal Guardians series from Elisabeth Naughton. These books continue to capture my attention & demand respect! Gryphon and Maelea are both tortured, wounded souls with trust issues. They're unexpectedly thrown together on this complex adventure and quest which only serves to solidify their bond and create a romance that is electric. Their journey is full of betrayal, doubt, grief, and healing, and when all put together, provided a gripping, emotional, action packed book that I will definitely pick back up for a re-read.It was SO nice to see Gryphon finally get his Happily Ever After despite the horrendous journey to get there and I can't wait for the next book - I'm assuming it'll be Titus's story & I'm eagerly awaiting the outcome. LITERAL ADDICTION gives Enslaved a well deserved 5 Skulls!
