Free Audiobook : God of Fury (Legacy of Gods 5), By Rina Kent

Brandon King is Landon's twin and attends Royal Elite University rather than King's U, which puts him on the wrong side of a long-standing rivalry before he and Nikolai even exchange a word. He is quiet, careful, and spends a lot of the book trying to convince himself that what he feels is not what it obviously is. His struggle with self-acceptance goes further than denial, and the book does not flinch from where that leads. There are trigger warnings for a reason, and they matter here. Kent writes his interior with enough weight that it never reads as a plot device.

Nikolai is chaos dressed as control. He is also, underneath everything, completely certain about Brandon in a way that the book earns rather than just declares. Their dynamic works because the push and pull is not symmetrical. Nikolai does not waver. Brandon does. Watching those two speeds collide across 15 hours and 59 minutes is the engine the whole story runs on.

The Brighton Island setting, shared across the Legacy of Gods series, gives the rivalry between King's U and REU a physical weight that helps ground what could otherwise feel like generic dark academia. The two campuses operate like separate ecosystems, and the fact that Brandon and Nikolai keep ending up in the same room despite that geography is part of what makes the obsession feel structural rather than convenient.

Teddy Hamilton narrates Nikolai and Shane East takes Brandon, with both voices present in shared scenes rather than each narrator retreating to their own chapters only. Hamilton brings exactly the unhinged energy Nikolai requires without tipping into parody. East keeps Brandon's restraint audible even when the writing pushes toward rawness, which is the harder job of the two and the one that matters most in the final act. Mackenzie Cartwright and Zara Hampton-Brown reprise Glyn and Annika from earlier in the series and handle the supporting cast cleanly throughout.
