About this listen

Fae magic, enemies-to-lovers rivalry, and political intrigue combine in this steamy romantasy from award-winning author N.E. Davenport.

HE'LL TAKE HER CROWN. SHE'LL HAVE HIS HEART.

'All the romantasy-loving folks, listen up — this is your next favorite book! An immersive world, knife-to-throat enemies to lovers, morally grey characters … An instant romantasy classic!' Katee Robert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

'Malachi and Kadeesha were the ultimate power couple, who I would die for, and the heat — oh my, the HEAT — was off the charts … everyone needs to read this.” Nisha J Tuli, international bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen

Bound by fate and duty, Princess Kadeesha has no choice but to become the Hyperion High King’s bride instead of the great warrior she knows she can be. But first, she spends one last night of freedom in the arms of an intoxicating stranger.

Unfortunately, Malachi is no stranger. Kadeesha’s husband-to-be decimated the Apollyon Court, and, as its new king, Malachi wants his pound of flesh. When his assassination attempt at her wedding fails, he kidnaps Kadeesha amid the chaos.

But she’s done being a pawn for powerful men. Kadeesha makes a deal with Malachi: she’ll play the part of his lover to lure the jealous Hyperion King to his death and, in return, Malachi will spare her people from the carnage he has planned for his enemies.

To save her court, Kadeesha must navigate a deadly world of fae politics and her growing feelings for Malachi. Though her hatred for him burns bright, it pales in comparison to the fiery attraction each touch between them ignites.

Critic reviews

Praise for OUR VICIOUS OATHS:

"All the romantasy-loving folks, listen up — this is your next favorite book! An immersive world, knife-to-throat enemies to lovers, morally grey characters wading through messy politics, and SEXY GOOD TIMES. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up! An instant romantasy classic!" Katee Robert, NYT and USA TODAY bestselling author

“N.E. Davenport nailed it with this enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity romantasy that felt like a breath of fresh air. Malachi and Kadeesha were the ultimate power couple, who I would die for, and the heat — oh my, the HEAT — was off the charts. The world was intricately and expertly woven with a plot that kept moving at a breakneck pace. Our Vicious Oaths is a spectacular addition to the genre, and everyone needs to read this.” Nisha J Tuli, international bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen

Praise for N.E. Davenport:

“With a high-octane sci-fi setting, a twisty murder mystery, and a badass heroine, THE BLOOD TRIALS is a damn good time.” — Hannah Whitten, Sunday Times bestselling author of For the Wolf

“The Blood Trials is an electrifying debut that deftly incorporates the best elements of science fiction and fantasy. A must-read!”

Alexis Henderson, author of The Year of the Witching

"An action packed adventure paired with luscious world building makes The Blood Trials an enthralling, unputdownable read. Davenport is a force to be reckoned with."

Kalynn Bayron, Bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead

"If you want to be on the edge of your seat, find another book, because this one hands you a blade, shoves you right into the action, and demands you start running if you want to keep up. It is action, mystery, and heartfelt character–all balanced perfectly on the tip of a knife."

Scott Reintgen, Bestselling author of the Nyxia series

Amazing buildup and storyline in a standalone! Great tempo, lovely characters and overall a joy to lose myself in. I ate this up

One book, a lifetime of story.

Honestly to start with I wasn't taken with this book and I think that was just personal taste (it took me a while to get in to the writing style) BUT I am so glad I stuck with it because it was so good! politics, intrigue, fantasy, war, lust, romance and love, there were so many parts of this book I smiled or smirked at mostly at the banter between the main characters and some because of the relationships with their inner courts, great to have a strong FMC, I loved Kadeesha and Malachi, plenty of tropes I thoroughly enjoy, I think this is supposed to be a standalone but I'd happily read more in this world in future, I have seen reviews that suggest this is too spicey but I didn't feel it was any more so than other popular fantasy books,

Oh that was fun,
