About this listen
The next seductive, sweeping, action-packed installment in the addictive Sacred Stones trilogy.
A prophecy of death. A weapon of hope. A sacrifice of love.
Arwen Valondale is sailing for the mysterious Kingdom of Citrine after the battle of Siren’s Bay. Still reeling from the loss of her mother and the shock of her newfound powers, Arwen directs all of her pain and rage toward the man who betrayed her: King Kane Ravenwood.
But Kane’s presence is unavoidable as he leads Arwen and her friends on an expedition to recover the Blade of the Sun—a legendary weapon with the power to kill tyrannical Fae King Lazarus. Their uneasy truce proves difficult to maintain, as Arwen battles her unresolved feelings, and Kane is willing to become darkness itself to protect her.
Arwen knows failure to fulfill the prophecy will seal both her own fate as well as the fates of those she loves most. But as Arwen faces creatures, foes, and magic beyond her wildest imaginings, her resolve is tested in ways she never could have foreseen.

With her death foretold, Althea Zoltaire only has three years to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a warrior legend. Women are forbidden to wield blades, so she has trained in secret her entire life. Now racing against the clock, she fights to secure her place in the elite guild charged with the protection of the five kingdoms. The sparring and hazing of the new trainees border on deadly, but even more dangerous is her growing attraction to Wilder Hawthorne, her unwilling warrior chaperone. All around them, schemes are afoot and darkness looms.

Story
I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

That is until her best friend calls her with a life-changing opportunity: to join Irish megastar Halloran on his first US tour as a backing vocalist. Clementine wants to reject the offer, but the pay is enough to change her and her mom’s life.

The perfect slow burn romantacy
Loved this series! This series has all of my favorite things: romance, fantasy, adventure, a good storyline that doesn’t drag on but still has depth. It’s the perfect amount of slow burn. The build up doesn’t drag on and on. The writing is amazing, and the narration is excellent. I highly recommend for anyone who likes romantasy

The story is getting a little better
I'm not sold on the narrators. Ruby doesn't have enough passion, and sounds more like she is whispering a story to children. Will is a bit better suited to Kane's character, though he also doesn't give enough emotion to the story as it is written.
I liked this second book in the Sacred Stones trilogy slightly more than the first book. The writing is still a bit rough around the edges, making some parts seem more juvenile than others.
The FMC is probably the best written character in the whole book, which makes sense since this is mainly her story. Arwen is flawed, broken, and still mostly naive, and the writing shows that, but there are times when it seems like she has completely forgotten previous experiences with danger or other situations and charges blindly into the same types of trouble over and over again. That isn't a flawed character trait, but it is poor character growth writing.
The MMC, Kane, is an idiot. He is over two centuries old and has been King of Onyx for fifty years, but he acts like an immature idiot who can't make any real decisions. He is so powerful and knows how to use his magic, but for some reason, he doesn't use it when it would make all the difference in a situation.
The ending was pure creepy factor. I'm glad the last book is finally released so I can jump right in and see how the story plays out to its conclusion.

Interesting Story
It's an interesting story, not too cliche but also not that surprising.
The author does a good job of description and there is good emotion and action.
The characters are flawed which I like but there is some hypocrisy that doesn't seem to be resolved, some people are allowed to lie and some are not. Everyone is morally grey, but it's only okay for some people.
Someone told me it's a fun story but won't change your life. It's not perfect but it is fine.
The downsides are that the author tells and not shows. Honestly she tells us that everyone is friends, but their actions don't really show they like each other. They are mean to each other and lie to each other and the reader sees little support.
The most annoying thing is the male narrator. He is awful. He reads Kane as a melodramatic twit constantly on the verge of a mental breakdown when the words are a driven man who is dryly sorting out his feelings. It makes the climax boring because the narrator is just more melodrama, the male narrator has one mode for Kane. So bad.
He reads the women as shrewish harpies. Honestly he is awful and this absolutely is not the genera for him. He doesn't get it. Maybe read this series.
I do like the female narrator a lot, but the male narrator is just that bad.

Next book please
This series just gets better. Kate Golden sure knows how to keep me coming back for more. This is the second book in The Sacred Stones series, and it has everything I love in a Romantasy book. Action, adventure, great characters, and sizzling chemistry. Kane and Arwen are both complex characters and had great growth in this book. Arwen especially had to deal with a lot. Watching her go through the stages and grieving and depression that comes with it was heartbreaking. I also lived for Griffin’s and Mari’s interactions; I so hope we see more of them in the next book! And narration was great as well.

Love how Arwen doesn't just fall back into Kane's arms, it takes time and Arwen's reaction is so valid.
