Summary

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.

This is a fantastic end to Evie and Zandyr's story, but oh boy do we have to get through trauma to get to the HEA they both deserve.

We jump straight into the drama and it keeps giving and giving throughout, the pace is exceptional.

The side character stories were also displayed beautifully, Kaya and Vexa, Lisa and Goose, Adara and little Anya, Zandyr with his friends (especially Ryker and the Viper!) and Evie with her cousins - (I listened to this so my spelling may be dodgy!!!)

Gaahhhhh this book and the hold it had over me is

I absolutely loved this book. It was beautifully written and honestly touched my soul a little. I cried my eyes out at the end of the first book because the story is so well written, I felt like I could feel all of the emotions of the characters. I really hope there’s more to come because it was just beautiful and so well written.

beautiful story

Second book didn’t disappoint, another page turner. The story is really good, slowly unfolding with always a secret to still be chasing. For me it’s a 5 for the story, but 4 for the writing. The constant incorrect use of past tenses winds me up, and there’s a little repetitiveness with the language sometimes. Also the ‘adult’ bits are so cheesy, they’re cringy, but in the plus side there aren’t many of them. The book is dependent on its story telling, not unending smut, which I’ve had to fast forward through in other books.
The female narrator gets a 5 from me, she’s really good and draws you into the story, also has the most believable English accent I’ve heard. The male narrator is a 3 though.
I often don’t go in to a second book with fantasy fiction, but I just want to keep listening to these

Great Story
