Publisher's summary

A treacherous bride. A heartbroken groom. Is their marriage over before it’s begun?

Her deceit discovered, Faraine finds herself trapped in the Shadow Realm at the mercy of her new husband. She’s surrounded by enemies, far from any allies, and her best bet for survival is to convince Vor to send her home. But to do so means to give up on the alliance—which would spell disaster for her people.

With the tremors growing worse and poison spreading through his realm, Vor is more desperate than ever to find a solution. Only it cannot involve his wife. Vor wants nothing to do with the woman he has inadvertently married. At one time, he thought he might love her, but now? How can love flourish where trust is broken? When circumstances require them to spend more time together, however, Vor’s blood is stirred in ways he doesn’t like to acknowledge.

Can two lost hearts find healing and hope in one another? Or is their love already poisoned beyond recovery?

Vow of the Shadow King will sweep you away in a tale of betrayal, heartbreak, and forbidden love. It contains mature content.

Interesting Fantasy World, slow burn book 2

Puts a great twist into the story line. Very slow burn over multiple books. More action in this one as well.

Cover still sucks

These books deserve better covers. I laughed I cried! As soon as I figured something out I was wrong. I had to buy the next book immediately

tough to review

the male narrator is great but I feel the voice for the king is too old. it's fantastic, very talented just not the right one for the king. the female is good, but the voice for the king is weird. she didn't attempt a male voice but I think I understand why, it sorta ruined it for me.

now the story itself, I listened to the whole thing. very committed and I couldn't exactly guess what was going to happen so that was nice. The cliffhanger sucks but I'm looking forward to the next book. I liked the series but I feel it's missing something..

Holy Wow

The will or the won't nearly drove me insane! This is most definitely a slow burn romance. It's blindly brilliant with breathtaking imagery and characters that draw you in. I've been dying for some happiness in this world and can't wait for what book three will throw our way. I am so in love with the words, the descriptions, and how beautifully the thoughts and sentences flow. My reader heart won't let this unforgettable world go, and isn't that the mark of a truly unputdownable series!?

Second Book Really Brings it!

People complained about book 1 being a little too predictive. I said, book one set things up for book 2 and don’t give up on the series. I WAS RIGHT! I honestly thought the romance would end with book 2 but I’m pleasantly surprised it sets up for furthering the adventure of this couple. Enjoy!

I will finish the series but…

I will finish the series but the back and forth - love me don’t love me for 2 books is getting tiring. The narrators are good but the monotony of the story make it hard to keep listening. Since book 3 isn’t on Audible I have downloaded it on kindle to finish the series.

So much better than expected!

Enjoyed the story with the romance, mystery, action and symbolism. I am anxious to dive into the next book.
