Publisher's summary

From fan-favorite Scarlett St. Clair, the bestselling author of the Hades & Persephone series, comes a new fantasy filled with danger, darkness, and insatiable romance.

Their union is his revenge.

Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day to be her death day. To end a years-long war, she is to marry vampire king Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, and kill him.

But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead. Faced with the possibility of becoming the thing she hates most, Isolde seeks other ways to defy him and survive the brutal vampire court.

Except it isn't the court she fears most—it's Adrian. Despite their undeniable chemistry, she wonders why the king—fierce, savage, merciless—chose her as consort.

The answer will shatter her world.

Contains mature themes.

Want to find another book to recreate the feeling

This book grabbed me immediately. The world creation, the story, the steam, all of it - chefs kiss. LOVED the female narrator. She's got a great voice. Thank God we don't hear the male narrator until the last part of the book. Completely wrong choice for the character. It's why I'm reading the second book and not listening to it. I'm trying to find another book to recreate the feeling this book gave me.

Sexy book with equally captivating story

Thoroughly enjoying the adventure, have not read a novel like this that was the best of both worlds. Thanks!

Wasted my time!

I swear if I ever hear the words “my people” again my ears will explode. It must have been said 1000 times. The voice for the main make character was awful. I finished it hoping it would get better but it didn’t. Don’t waste your time.

Ehhh

It’s was a lot of sex and not a lot of fluid story telling. It could have been great.

Ok, but not the best

I read and listened to the Hades x Persephone series. That was awesome. This lacked passion and innovation.

Pretty good book

So the main character was a little hard to like and wasn’t super relatable. But the overall story was good and I liked the book more towards the end when things got more interesting. But the last chapter… the narrator was awful. If he’s narrating the next book I’ll definitely pass 😂 I couldn’t finish, it

Predictable

I figured out the twist almost at the beginning. Not sure if it was the story or the narration but I wasn’t very engaged. I won’t continue this series, I’m not invested enough.
