De: Jayne Castel

Narrado por: Anais Inara Chase, Will Thorne

From the ashes of betrayal rises a love with the power to change everything.

An assassin in disgrace. An enforcer gone rogue. A destiny that binds them. Dive into the thrilling conclusion of The Enforcer's Bride Fantasy Romance duology.

Bree was once the Raven Queen's assassin—a ruthless killer with the blood of many on her hands. However, when she returns home after her last mission, she finds herself sidelined… and it's not long before the chilling truth settles upon her.

She doesn't belong in Sheehallion any longer.

Nor can she forget the man she left behind in Albia.

Meanwhile, her husband, Cailean, is haunted by his own demons. His illustrious career is destroyed, and his brief and disastrous marriage to Bree has forced him to confront the ghosts he's long avoided.

But betrayal isn't enough to keep husband and wife apart—not when Bree makes a decision that propels her on a dangerous journey across the wilds of Albia.

A journey that brings her straight to Cailean.

Outlander meets The Witcher and Throne of Glass. Ashes of Betrayal is book two in a fantasy romance duology with enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn delicious spice, redemption, and a dark and lush world inspired by Celtic myth.

Ashes of Betrayal is book two of a duology, with a storyline that spans both novels, beginning with Bound by Deception. It's not recommended to dive into this story before listening to book one.
