Publisher's summary

In order to save his friend's life, Wyr sentinel Rune Ainissesthai made a bargain with Vampyre Queen Carling - without knowing what she would ask from him in return. But when Rune attempts to make good on his debt, he finds a woman on the edge.

Recently, Carling's power has become erratic, forcing her followers to flee in fear. Despite the danger, Rune is drawn to the ailing Queen and decides to help her find a cure for the serpent's kiss - the vampyric disease that's killing her.

With their desire for each other escalating just as quickly as Carling's instability spirals out of control, the sentinel and the Queen will have to rely on each other if they have any hope of surviving the serpent's kiss.

Another great book in this series!

loved the narration! Sophia did great justice to all the different character voices and the inflections and accents were spot on to Me!

the book was also perfect! I loved Rune since Dragos book and I thought Carling was so fitting for him. lots up emotional ups and downs but such a great ending! now on to the next book

Good story.

Moved well, even with less action. I wasn't sure I was going to like Carling based on book 2, but I ended up liking her a lot.

The worst book in the series

This book should have not been made or maybe a short story. The only reason I stayed with it was I was hoping it would get better took four days to get through.

loved it

listen to it twice already and still love every single minute. what a wonderful narrator. It's rare to listen to a good book and come out feeling just as satisfied as when you're reading it yourself with your mind's voice.

A bit disappointed with the ending

Didn't like the ending. Old friendship should not be that easily cast away. even with all the difference in options and struggles.

I shouldn’t have waited

I loved the first book in this series. I was excited about the second but it kind of disappointed me. So I lost a bit of my excitement for the series and decided to wait on this one because I didn’t really like Carling in the last book.

So, it’s been over a year, things aren’t as fresh so I decided to give this book a try. Because I really want to that book about Dragos and Pia.

It took a little bit to get into it, the first 45 minutes were a little boring, but then it took off. I loved it. I’m glad I put some time between the last book and this one because I ended up really loving Carling. I’m glad I didn’t have those first prejudices I still fresh on my mind when I went into this.

This book actually blew me away with how it worked with time. Carling would respond in a specific way to Rune, then after they messed with time that reaction took on a more meaningful motive. I loved that. It’s like the beginning of the story was the bare bones and as things changed Carling was brought to life and her past reactions had new more powerful reasons behind them. I loved it.
