A Deadly Vow

The Fate of Vengeance, Book 1

De: J.D. Ronan

Narrado por: Christian Leatherman, Chloe Ryan

Sabine Azterrin longed for death.

Used as a pawn in her father's war, Sabine spent her life captive to the King of Novear, her will commanded by a siphoning crystal. When she wakes up in the hands of her enemy, Sabine realizes her father committed the ultimate betrayal: a ritual bonding her magic to the Prince of the Solstice Kingdom. When the assassination fails, Keahi promises Sabine the one thing she will live for—revenge.

Keahi Aldeer was an instrument of war.

Forged into a weapon by his father, the General of Solstice sacrifices his blood, honor, and fate for the good of his kingdom. When the King of Novear, destroyer of the Veil of Seven, threatens to invade Solstice's territory, Keahi falls directly into his trap. He fears the magic in his veins will no longer be enough.

Fate had other plans...

Bonded to the daughter of his enemy's kingdom, Keahi proposes an unexpected alliance: a marriage to save them both. But when lies spiral out of control, holy matrimony isn't the only thing Keahi is lying about.

A Deadly Vow is a star-crossed debut from J.D. Ronan—the beginning of a dark and poetic high fantasy series burning with romanticism, suspense, and antihero anthems.

weak story, great narration

what lacked in plot, the narration did the best they could with what they had

I’m so confused.

I keep thinking I perhaps missed some chapters or are there other related books I should have read before?. Nevertheless, I kept reading.

incredible debut, I need the next one asap!

This book had it all- slow burn romance, action, fantasy politics, an interesting magic system, and Jeremy (iykyk) 🐸! The narrators did a fantastic job embodying the characters, I love dual narrators. and that ending WOW I need more!

Amazing story & Intricate imagery…can’t wait for more

I’ve never taken a step back from a book while reading/listening and thought how beautifully something was described. Character development was flawless and the ending was unexpected. If there was some spice in this book, that would have been amazing…maybe the next book? So good. I’m going to have a hangover from this one.

I’m confused af

Since there are only positive reviews so far I wanted to give my honest opinion. First I want to say I definitely enjoyed this book. It was pretty good. It could have been better if the story wasn’t so confusing. I still don’t even know which things were lies and which things weren’t. And the fact that the MMC acted like a shy virgin the whole book despite being a freaking ******?!? The imagery was wonderful but my brain hurts from all of the metaphors. The last few chapters could have been in a different language for all I know because that’s as much as I understood it. It frustrated me more than anything. And there definitely isn’t a love story for the ages… in fact I was doing the opposite of rooting for them. I really like that this book was different in many ways, and I like how dark it is. I just wish some things were explaining better and there was more romance involved.
