About this listen

He shattered my heart on our wedding day. Now we must set aside our heartbreak and join forces to save our world from the brink of chaos.

Betrayed at the altar by the man I love, I don’t have the luxury to mourn my broken heart. The Blood Brotherhood Clan is under attack and dark secrets from my past begin to claw their way to light.

Now I must fight beside the man who almost destroyed me.

As the merciless prince leads his army on the battlefield, I wage my own war in the treacherous court, where smiles are sharper than blades and words can change the fate of a dynasty. If either of us falters, both of our Clans will be doomed.

With my trust in pieces, despite his groveling and promises, I’m torn between vengeance and forgiveness. But the blood oath silencing his tongue cuts deeper than any betrayal and mercy is a weakness I can’t risk.

The fierce bond between us doesn’t care about human heartache, though. It tightens its grip and brings us closer than we thought possible. We’re cursed to rise and fall together—if one of us dies, the other will follow, and the darkness hounding us will destroy everyone and everything I love.

A Crown of Victory and Vengeance is book two in the first duology of the A Curse of Silver Secrets and Cruel Shadows series and completes the story of Evie and Zandyr. It’s a slowburn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy where banter is a love language and secrets can kill. The series starts out hot and only gets hotter as the mystery grows.

In the War of the Clans, which side will you choose? Protectorate VS. Blood Brotherhood.

It felt like the story was a little drawn out, especially after the first book which I really enjoyed. The second book helps to close out all the loose threads, but I did increase the listening sped to get through to the reveal! Saskia amazing narration as always.

Not as strong as the first but with the listen

Ok book 1 left me eager for consequences for grovelling, regret, and a fierce response from Evie. She was set up as strong and smart, but by halfway through Book 2, she’d basically forgiven him while still saying she hadn’t. I liked her scheming and games, but she never put it to use on the MMC. His betrayal and that blood oath didn’t make much sense, and he showed no real remorse. I get she is your friend, but come on!!

I kept waiting for Evie to take a stand to make him feel even a fraction of her pain, but it never happened. The setup had so much promise, but the payoff felt rushed and unearned.

Book 1 was better, but still a solid 4 🌟
