A Duel with the Vampire Lord

By: Elise Kova

Narrated by: Elizabeth Evans

On the night of the blood moon, the Vampire Lord must die.

Floriane's position as the forge maiden of Hunter's Hamlet is one of reverence, for it is her skill that arms and protects the vampire hunters. She knows her place and is a faithful servant to the Master Hunter and her community...until the night of the blood moon. Until her brother is dying at the hands of the Vampire Lord Ruvan.

Wanting to defend her home at all costs, Floriane fights the vampire lord, ready to give her life if it means taking his. But Ruvan doesn't want to take her life...he wants her.

Kidnapped and brought to the vampire castle, Floriane is now blood sworn to the vampire lord. She is bound in mind and body to her worst enemy. But Ruvan isn’t the fiend she thought he was. She learns the truth of the vampires: They are not mindless monsters, but a proud people, twisted and tortured by an ancient curse.

Ruvan believes that Floriane might be the key to ending his people's suffering. All Floriane wants is to defend her home. Loyalties are tested and the line between truth and lie is blurred.

When her dagger is at his chest, will she be able to take the heart of the man who has claimed hers?

A darkly reimagined Snow White meets inspiration from Beauty and the Beast in an epic fantasy world of hunters, vampires, and curses that run deeper than blood. This stand-alone is complete with a "happily ever after" ending. It's perfect for fantasy romance fans looking for just the right amount of steam and their next slow-burn and swoon-worthy, enemies-to-lovers story.

While it is set in the Married to Magic universe, listeners can start with this book.

A fun one in the series!

I thought I wouldnt like this one as much. I am lot crazy about vampires, but I think it might be my favorite in the series so far! The story is more full than the previous. I really enjoyed the first two as well, but this story felt more dynamic and had a lot of depth to it. Fun characters, stakes were high. A fun good story!

Loved it!

Very good book and well narrated! One that’ll I’ll repeat again for sure. All around great

beautiful novel

If I'm going to spend money and spend time listening to stories they have to play the part of transporting me to another world. I like that this was a stand alone novel but also touched on a world already constructed but from another angle. The first book was "A deal with the Elf King" I believe.

I love the narration, the characters and especially the story. It has unexpected twists and turns. The tension filled romance and isn't overly graphic. I already added the other books from this author and this world and will go through each one. worth the credit!

An interesting twist to vampires!

Elizabeth Evans is one of my favorite narrators and I purchased these books solely because of her but also enjoy having a story I can conclude in one book. While I think there is a lot more that could be explored in these stories that they can almost seem anticlimactic I still have enjoyed them & would recommend the Married to Magic universe to others!

Wonderful Easy Read

The push and pull of how you are raised vs what is the truth you see now. This was a good book to read. So much so I wanted the hardback on my shelf.

Very engaging- loved the characters

This was better than the Fae Prince. The characters were original and had original backstories. I don’t expect a lot from this kind of thing so I was surprised by how engaged I was with the story. It’s quite long but I wasn’t ready for it to end.

So good!

This is the best book in the series so far. I really like Ruvan. He has a calmness and maturity that appeals to me. I love the relationship that forms with Ruvan and a person close to Floriane later on. Trying not to spoil anything there. Floriane is tough and her struggles are believable. This is a true to enemies to lovers romance. Quite good.

Incredible

Great plot!! Well written and keeps you enthralled’Would love to see a movie of this book!!

Ok I loved

Probably one of my favorite female inner monologues. Strong willed, self aware and so much growth.

Slow start for me.

I understand growing up with one belief but characters that are not open to the possibility of anything else (being lied to all their life) always bothers me. Granted it's not Floriane's fault but it's hard to ignore facts right in front of you. Lord Ruvan was extremely patient. Despite having limited time.

Other than that 👆🏾 complication, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

4.5 stars
