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.

Die Geschichte hätte sehr gut werden können. Die Autorin hat einen schönen Schreibstil, jedoch bin ich von der weiblichen Hauptfigur enttäuscht. Insgesamt fehlen den Charakteren die Glaubwürdigkeit, sodass man sich nicht mit ihnen identifizieren kann. Sehr schade.
Die Sprecherin hat die Geschichte jedoch durch ihr großartiges lesen belebt.

Alles in allem: worth the read

However the world is not as developed/explored as I'd have hoped, the focus is primarily on the romance - which is a shame for this book, because the author managed to create interesting creatures, deities and hierarchy, and for once I'd have enjoyed to understand a bit more about those.
The FMC has a multi-dimensional personality - she is ruthless, strong, fearless, kind and emotional. The author did a great job portraying a strong female, but a woman nonetheless.
I'll admit though, she's a tad stubborn and quite mean with the MMC which frustrated me a lot, and he is the most patient man I've seen (I'd kill for a man with that level of emotional intelligence and love for me!). Given her background, and what she was thought, her actions and stubbornness make some sense, so I'll give you that.
The main plot twist is predictable, there are so many hints throughout the book that it became far too obvious and it took away the "wow" factor when it was revealed. The ending felt a bit anti-climatic for some reason, and I don't really feel the urge to continue the series despite having liked this book (the low rating of the 2nd one and the story "hook" don't really entice me).
Last but not least, the narrator does a great job impersonating the characters.

Interesting characters

Eine schöne, jedoch leider recht vorhersehbare Liebesgeschichte, alles in allem aber sehr nett und kurzweilig. Werde das nachfolgende Buch ebenfalls lesen.

audiobook- no duett style
I tried this audiobook since it was included in the audible abo and I had already read and enjoyed the Pherspepone and Hades series by this author.

The story is something different though. overall I liked it, but couldn't connect with the main characters as I did with the other book series. It was still interesting how the plot developed.
You will definitely find court affairs, hidden conspiracy and a steamy 🔥 enemies to lovers storyline. The heroine Isolde is strong, confident and stands her women while trying to figure out her conflicting emotions.
there were parts of the plot I didn't understand fully, but I guess they will revealed I'm the second book.
For the second book I'm planning to switch from audiobook to ebook. The male POV at the end of the book was awfully narrated. I don't think I would enjoy a dual pov in book two with this voice.

steamy enemies to lovers / vampire court affairs
