About this listen

Guardian of the Drowned Empire is the second book in a sensational romantic series. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Danielle L. Jensen, and Rebecca Yarros.

Loyalty will be tested. Lines will be crossed. Ancient promises will be reforged.

Lyr has only three months to prepare for a test that will decide her fate. Despite Rhyan's promise of additional training, her life has never been in more danger, and her enemies inch closer every day.

Staying safe means more time under Rhyan's protection. But the closer they become, the more their desire ignites, and the harder it becomes to resist temptation. Secrets can only remain hidden for so long.

As new threats arrive at the Bamarian border, Lyr delves deeper into solving the mystery of her power. But revealing these secrets and surviving the Emperor's test may cost Lyr more than she can bargain for.

And most dangerous of all: as passion burns, oaths will be broken.

A LUSH ROMANTASY, INSPIRED BY CLEOPATRA AND FEATURING A HIGH-STAKES MILITARY ACADEMY AND DEADLY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE.

'One fantastical world. One fierce heroine to take it down! Daughter of the Drowned Empire is sexy, thrilling, and pure magic!' Cecy Robson, author of Bloodguard

I have a love/hate relationship with this book haha. The frequent long internal dialogues kill me. It slowed down the pace of what was happening so much and so often that I sometimes started to zone out 😅 Some is good but it felt like it overpowered the story line a lot and was repetitive. Like, I get it, you're frustrated and you're a victim, but can we find out what's going to happen now?

On the positive side, I'm a sucker for conspiracies and political intrigue which is very much the them of this series. J also like Ryan and his character building and the sisters in this book too. Morganna is my favourite female character now.

Things do pick up and evolve and I like that there is gradual build romantically along with the complex relationships. A few plot twists occurred in the end ish. I called most from as early as book one but there was an interesting one I didn't expect which made me interested to see what happens next so yeah guess I'm hooked for book 3!

On to Book 3
