His Mortal Demise

De: Vanessa Le

Narrado por: Jason Vu, VyVy Nguyen

These Violent Delights meets Divine Rivals in the explosive finale to The Last Bloodcarver duology—with a riveting medical magic system and lush Vietnam-inspired romantasy world.

Kochin is a heartsooth—a rare being with the ability to heal any wound. Any wound, that is, except death.

Intent on defying nature and bringing Nhika back to life, Kochin keeps her body in a life-preserving casket and waits for a miracle. Stricken with grief and descending into madness, Kochin realizes the answer to his desperate quest can only lie in one place: Yarong, the lush yet battle-ridden island the first heartsooths called home.

Months later, Nhika wakes in a familiar manor-house, with Kochin nowhere to be found. As she traces his footsteps across Theumas, she discovers the haunting path he walked to bring her back, and a world changed by war.

When Kochin discovers the true and grisly way to resurrect a person from the grave, he must decide exactly how much he is willing to sacrifice, in order to reunite with the woman he loves...

Don't miss this stunning dual-POV follow up to THE LAST BLOODCARVER, where morals will be tested, hearts pushed to the limit, and fates determined once and for all. Vanessa Le's jaw-dropping sequel is a bloody and luscious spectacle to be devoured in one sitting.

Solid Series

I find myself smiling when Nhika is being Nhika and says goofy things that throw everyone off. I enjoy the fact that Nhika and Kochin, our protagonists, are likable. This, alongside the pacing of the series, makes their feelings for each other mean a lot to me. As someone who normally balks at romances in stories, that's saying a lot. I'd like to thank Vanessa Le for bringing Mimi back into the fold, and I eagerly await her standalone novel.

Additionally, I'd like to commend Jason Vu for his excellent narration and Vyvy Nguyen for her continued contributions, which have deepened the immersion and richness of Theumas, beyond, and our cast.
