Summary
 ‘Souls in Ruin is absolutely savage in the best way’ LIV ZANDER, bestselling author of Crown Me Dead

Raven Kennedy’s Gild meets Jennifer L. Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash in this dark and riveting romantasy following an illegitimate princess caught up in the revenge of gods, the first book in a trilogy about survival, obsession, and the quiet fury of a woman who won’t be forgotten.

A marriage forged in blood. A kingdom bathed in silence. And a princess who refuses to break.

As the king’s illegitimate daughter, Princess Mireille has spent her whole life scorned by the court, her fate never her own, even now as she’s forced into marriage with the infamous conqueror threatening her kingdom’s borders. She expects distance, perhaps even cold civility from the Blood King – not the unsettling pull of his attention.

Yet when their wedding descends into bloodshed, the man meant to be her escape becomes her captor, imprisoning her in her own dungeons. There, Mireille uncovers the truth of her father’s sins, discovering she's not alone beneath the castle. A voice calls from the cell beside her, a man as dangerous as he is alluring, offering a single thread of light in the darkness.

Dragged into a brutal struggle for survival, Mireille is caught between two powerful beings that threaten to consume her entirely: one demanding obedience, and the other craving what little soul she has left.

But Mireille was not born to kneel.

The narrators added another level to this dark romance novel. It could have been very hard to listen too but they all made it emotional rather than scary. Congratulations

Fabulous Narration

The story seems written from actual experience maybe, there was a little too much graphic torture content which makes it hard to listen. Find myself wanting to quit several times as story doesn’t make sense, why would someone want to seek revenge from someone who has done nothing to them even at the end. Violence is not okay fiction or not

DV is not okay

Fantastic narration and a complexity and depth to its plot and character building that kept me engaged the entire way through! Can’t wait for the next book in this series.

So good!
