About this listen

“I’m a disciplined man, Jane. I can stay here for as long as you need before the lesson sinks in that you don’t run from me while in my charge." -- Soren.

He's a Mercenary with powers that allow him feel the hearts/desires/fears of others.
She's his target, and must guard her identity at all costs.

My village is aflame, and a deadly legend becomes my captor.

I’m to appear before the most elite faction of mercenaries and warlords, commanded to answer for a crime they refuse to explain. Even if my only guess for why they want me is wrong, they cannot have me. I’ve sworn to never return to Skull’s Row, home to thieves and killers; the graveyard of my childhood.

He plans to unbury every memory until my soul is stripped bare: Soren, my captor, is strangely fascinated by me. By what I hide. Of the scars I have.

I’m unwillingly drawn to him. To his brutality. He harbors the same viciousness that coats my veins. He even seems persistent in taking me for himself…

He’ll either be my reckoning, or my undoing.

This Dark Fantasy Romance is a Duet full of foul language, sensual scenes, and improper bastards.

DUAL POV – his/her
Duet with a Guaranteed HEA

Content Warning 18+:
This series contains explicit scenes (3.5 chili peppers), depictions of war, battle violence, abduction, graphic depiction of violence, drugging, and overall a very crude world.

And I love the story. It has all my favourite tropes. Enemies to Lovers. Deadly secrets. He captures her. I can't wait for the second book....eeeeeeek. I have read and listened to more than 90 books this year. This has made top 10. Side note: the book has gentle background SOUND EFFECTS 😍.

It’s been SO LONG since I’ve enjoyed a book this much. The plot is intriguing, complex yet easy to follow. The characters have depth to them that has you both understanding them on a fundamental level, as well as second guessing their intentions. Both narrators did a fantastic job too. I hope the sequel gets added to this platform soon!

Hooked me immediately!

This is what a dark romance fantasy should be like. I am obsessed with the story, the couple and their fiery attraction. The background plot really draws you in with the mysteries. Jumping right to book 2 on my kindle. And the narrators were phenomenal.

Absolutely amazing

A fun story that leaves you wanting more for sure!

If you like books that aren't heavy on the world building but can create a good atmosphere, I would recommend this. I enjoyed the romance, it didn't hang about but built up some great tension each time. 🌶🌶🌶🌶 The dual POV chapters were great and made for an even more enjoyable experience when listening to this book. The progression and unfolding of each main characters emotions and intentions was really smooth.

I wasn't expecting a cliffhanger but I didn't hate it! I would love to hear more from these characters and see how this story continues.

Leaves you wanting more!
