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.

This book was just perfection. I consumed it within two days because I just couldn’t stop listening to it. Can’t wait to listen to the next one now.

Loved it

I mean by chapter two she is feeling herself up over the thought of him. I was enjoying it still but it lost me a bit at the red palace. Especially when Adrian literally rips someone’s eye out as they said he’d been distracted by his new wife. I mean come on. What girl really what’s to be married to someone like that. Can you imagine your husband doing that? Getting a bit done with these dark violent immortal over sexed man types that are suddenly fascinated with the MC.

Not slow burn

Interesting story line. The male character was interesting but under utilised. The female character was exceptionally annoying and confrontational for the sake of it. I will not be following this story into the next book. It was too much like hard work. Not for me but don’t let that put you off purchasing. It is an interesting and beautiful concept and the new world envisioned is very descriptive and well designed. The lead characters were just not my thing.

Hard going

There were many points that I thought about DNF ing this book. But I thought the story would pick up.
Quite spicy.
The story is teased, an angry FMC and an underdeveloped MMC, who isn't given much chance to speak. I would have loved more of a story, but anyway the last couple of chapters everything was rushed together.
I was disappointed with this as I was thinking it would be good after reading Hades and Persephone.

Ok
