Publisher's summary

Now an Amazon top five best seller!

An all-new dark stand-alone romance from the USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, Shantel Tessier.

His lady.

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

I vow. You vow. We vow.

I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or I would've had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.

But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated.

Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.

Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.

Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice...and even that may not be enough.

The Sacrifice

SOOOOOO GOOD!! This one and The Ritual are probably my favorite. Highly suggest you read/listen to it!

Addicted to this series

Great way they blended the books together, giving glimpse without giving away spoilers of the next books. The female voice actress was amazing, but the male was mid compared to the other LORD books. Just didn’t feel like he was into his character.

love it

The Lord's are amazing but I have to say Tyson is my favorite. Love the story. Never a dull moment.

Love it.

I was skeptical after reading the ritual but this one didn’t disappoint at all. The back story was a little confusing but man the plot twist was wowww

A man with a plane is a scary man!

I’m off to read Carnage next and the spade brothers already get me going, but Tyson 🥵🥵 I thought it was going to be hard to top Ryat but I think Tyson takes it for me!

Yes Sir!!!

I have read 3 books by this author about the Lords! This one is my favorite ( all are great!). This is super spicy! Very funny! Also a great plot. The narrator’s did an excellent job. Heather has read several other books I have listened to and this is the first I have heard of the male narrator. Love him. Super good read, kept me interested. Will definitely be reading more from this author.

Need more

So far, Tyson is my favorite character in the series. Need another installment on the Spade brothers. I’m hooked.

Twisted Love and Dark Revelations

"The Sacrifice" by Shantel Tessier, part of her captivating LORDS series, finally gives us Tyson's long-awaited story, and it certainly lives up to the hype. As a fan eagerly anticipating more insight into Tyson's character, I was not disappointed by the intense and twisted journey Tessier crafted in this book. The world of the LORDS is indeed wild, and this installment continues that tradition with its myriad of shocking twists and turns.

Tessier has a knack for keeping readers on their toes with the never-ending unexpected twists and turns, and "The Sacrifice" is another masterpiece full of surprises. The big reveal in this story was particularly astonishing, serving as one of the most unexpected twists in the entire series.

While I didn’t feel as deeply connected to the characters in this book as I have with others in Tessier's universe, the story was nonetheless enthralling. The dynamics between Tyson and Laikin, set against the backdrop of revenge and forced matrimony, created a compelling and at times unsettling narrative. Tessier explores themes of power, control, and the blurred lines between love and obsession with a boldness that is both jarring and fascinating.

Tyson's character, driven by vengeance, is portrayed with a complexity that makes him more than just a ruthless alpha. His interactions with Laikin reveal layers to his personality that are both intriguing and disturbing. Laikin, for her part, is a character caught in a web of manipulation and deceit, her strength and resilience tested at every turn.

"The Sacrifice" is a dark and twisted tale that is once again not for the faint-hearted and offers a deep dive into the dark and complex world she has created. It’s a story that captivates and disturbs in equal measure, showcasing Tessier's talent for crafting dark, unconventional romances. For fans of the series and those who relish a story where love emerges from the most unlikely and twisted circumstances, this book is a must-read.
