About this listen

From Kate Golden, author of the instant bestseller and viral phenomenon A Dawn of Onyx, comes the next seductive, sweeping, action-packed installment in her addictive Sacred Stones trilogy.

A prophecy of death. A weapon of hope. A sacrifice of love.

Arwen Valondale is sailing for the mysterious Kingdom of Citrine after the battle of Siren's Bay. Reeling from shocking revelations and her newfound powers, Arwen directs all of her pain and rage toward the man who betrayed her: King Kane Ravenwood.

Kane's presence is unavoidable as he travels with Arwen and her friends to seek the Blade of the Sun, a legendary weapon inextricably tied to her fate and the future of the realm. Even an uneasy truce proves difficult as Arwen fights against her unresolved feelings for Kane, who is willing to become darkness itself to protect her.

As Arwen faces creatures, foes, and magic beyond her wildest imaginings, she must discover the secrets of her past to defeat the monstrous Fae king Lazarus. But finding the light within might mean the death of her and everyone she loves.

Critic Reviews

A Promise of Peridot is fast-paced, fantastical, and fun. The second novel in this thrilling romantasy saga leaves you just as breathless as the first, and just as hungry for more. Truly, The Sacred Stones saga is first class storytelling
Kate Golden continues to delight with A Promise of Peridot, a magnificent, action-packed fantasy that had me feeling all the feels. With adventure, romance, and a uniquely enchanting world, it's the perfect romantasy! I had such a great time reading it and am absolutely on tenterhooks for book three!
I am so happy that I have a copy of it . . . Add it to your TBR if you love romantasy
A Dawn of Onyx is fun romantasy deliciousness, complete with magic, Fae, dragons, empire-shaking secrets, and a sultry, wicked king. Arwen is an appealing heroine-determined, optimistic, and empathetic, she struggles between her longing for home and the desire to spread her wings and learn more about the world. Her interactions with Kane are spiced with tension and banter, and I can't wait to see more of this combustible pairing in the next books
A fantastic romantasy with dynamic characters, immersive world-building, and a super swoon-worthy romance

Look it started out not as strong as book 2, I think its because the FMC went backwards in strength came across like a whiny 🐓teaser that was eyeroll lame eveytine she spoke - not sure what happened in Beta read feedback phase.

I continued on as I like book 1 so much and the Narrators. Then things eventually improved.

I had high hopes after A Dawn of Onyx but was pretty disappointed. Nearly DNF, character development was underwhelming and a lot of the relationships felt forced. The general idea of the story was good but the writing just couldn’t get it there for me. I liked the ending, glad I finished and will continue on when the next book is released. Voice actors were good.
