Heat of the Everflame

The Kindred's Curse Saga, Book 3

By: Penn Cole

Narrated by: Amanda Dolan, Will M. Watt

The war has begun. Both sides demand Diem's allegiance—or her death.

After her disastrous coronation, Diem finds herself at the center of the conflict between the Descended and the Guardians. With her newfound friends and the man she's falling for on one side, and the mortals she has vowed to protect on the other, Diem must walk a careful line to save the people she loves…even from each other.

The mystery of her unusual heritage begins to unravel, sending Diem and Luther on an unexpected journey across the realms. The answers may hold the key to winning the war, but finding them will require her to face painful truths about her mother, her bloodline, and her fate.

Meanwhile, the Crowns have set Diem in their sights. Some could be her greatest allies—while others want her dead. To end their oppressive reign, Diem must sort friend from foe and risk it all to build an army of her own.

But a powerful figure in the north has plans that could change everything...

Heat of the Everflame is the third book in The Kindred's Curse Saga, a four-book epic fantasy romance series that follows our feisty, bad*ss heroine Diem Bellator in her fight against injustice, her struggle to survive in a royal palace full of betrayal and intrigue, and her journey of self-discovery and finding true love.

This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers series is perfect for fans of unique magic systems, dragons and other mythical creatures, angst and romantic tension, and hilarious banter. This series will appeal to fans of plot-heavy, character-driven romantasy such as A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, Blood and Ash, The Plated Prisoner, Grisha, and Crowns of Nyaxia.

Unexpected twists and turns

This has quickly become one of the of my favorite book series! It’s a rival to Fourth wing, ACOTAR, and FBAA

So EPIC!

I love this series. Do I wish for more spice? Yes I do!…. But what’s there is so well written and doesn’t trash the book up. My only issue is that I have to wait now. How could she leave us so perilously on a cliff and just end the book! I’m hanging here!!

WHAT?!

Absolutely loved this book! I have to admit our FMC was a little frustrating when ignoring or not realizing what was right in front of her face regarding one particular circumstance (iykyk). That aside, I have loved the world building, magic and characters in the series. Cannot And I can't stress this enough, CANNOT wait for Burn of the Everflame. Eagerly, anxiously, throwing up (lol) awaiting its release!

SCREAMING

I can't believe I have to wait at least a whole year to hear the next book. If you want a "romantasy" that is actually more focused on the plot than the romance, this is great. There are enough familiar elements that the world-building isn't overwhelming but done in a way that feels distinct to this series. I love the FMC, mostly because she LIVES in denial - I mean absolutely DWELLS there - and it is INFURIATING. The MLI is pretty generic, nothing to go all "book boyfriend" over. But that's okay because I'm not really here for the love story. If you are, this entire series is a slow burn, enemies(?) to lovers, fated mates, and dark (but not really) romance.

This book had me going through it. I honestly don't see how Cole could possibly wrap this up in just one more book without cramming it all in.

Captivating story!!

Thrilling, heart wrenching, & poignant. Beautiful story, eagerly awaiting the release of book #4 Burn of the Everflame!!

Obsessed

This series is absolute perfection for a fantasy lover!!! Although this cliffhanger gutted me and I’m dying to get my hands on the next audiobook

My new favorite. Absolutely obsessed

Every book gets better and better. So much action! Keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout the whole book. Can’t wait for the next one to come out

Captivating

This book had me wholeheartedly consumed!
The slow burn of this series finally burned and the main characters finally fell into place.
And then the ending destroyed me. And now I wait until book 4. 😭😭

Great story but….

The story chefs kiss but the main female character was so annoying with her I want everyone to live and live happily ever after she’s brave one min afraid the next did my head in but loved the story can’t wait for the next!!

amazing, fast paced and with slow burn passion

an epic story, fast paced, full of emotion, betrayal twists and a lovely slow burn romance.
