Blood & Steel

The Legends of Thezmarr, Book 1

De: Helen Scheuerer

Narrado por: Mollie Stark, Sebastian Grove

With her death foretold, Althea Zoltaire only has three years to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a warrior legend. Women are forbidden to wield blades, so she has trained in secret her entire life. Now racing against the clock, she fights to secure her place in the elite guild charged with the protection of the five kingdoms.

The sparring and hazing of the new trainees border on deadly, but even more dangerous is her growing attraction to Wilder Hawthorne, her unwilling warrior chaperone. All around them, schemes are afoot and darkness looms.

Will Althea pass the perilous initiation test and take her place as a champion of Thezmarr—or will the invading evil snatch away her dream before it starts?

Blood & Steel is the gripping first book in the heart-pounding, epic romantic fantasy series, The Legends of Thezmarr.

Romantasy at its finest!

Mainly listening on audio which is really good. The female voice is like this sultry, alluring smokers voice. It works. Also dual pov has a male voice which matches the description of Wilders deep timber voice, sounds powerful and it’s hot. I’m going to be listening to book 2 as well.

This book had the perfect amount of action and plot along with burns and desires and just the right amount of spice and longing. At first I thought, ‘man they really hate each other this is going to take awhile for them to see eye to eye here’ but it turns out for the better. Enemies to lovers trope along with a little forbidden love. I also like that there is no miscommunication, they own up to their feelings quickly and FMC knows and voices what she wants.

I’m antsy to see where this story goes in book 2 of the series. The build up is amazing and has me whirling. There are many new questions to be answered and secrets to be revealed!

Also, I hear book 2 has more spice and relationship, so I’m hopeful for the MC. Eee!

Very good series!!!

This is a definite must read!!! If you liked blood and ash series or the acotar series then you will like this one too!

Blood & Steel

This is the perfect blend of action,romance,plot. Blood & Steel is a fantasy about an orphaned female alchemist who dreams of becoming a shieldbearer. with some romance, found family,hidden powers/royalty, character growth and a great plot story line.

I am so excited to start book 2.

love the found family!

The found family between the characters is so great in this book! I liked the characters and the plot. This is told in third person, and I prefer first person, but it was such a great story that I actually didn't mind. The female narrator was great! The male narrator was also great, but his voice sounded a little too old to be playing a 20-something year old man. I was also disappointed that the female narrator did the male voices during Thea's chapters, and the male narrator did the female voices during his chapters. When this is done in audio books, it takes something away from it for me.

Wonderful

What a great story!! Wonderful characters. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.
