Dark Prince's Mate

A Realm of Dragons & Scrolls, Book 2

De: Anna Zaires, Charmaine Pauls

Narrado por: CJ Bloom, Sebastian York

I thought nothing was worse than dying. Then I discovered there are things that hurt an awful lot more than chemo—like getting your heart trampled on by the insanely powerful superhuman prince who claims you’re his mate. Right after we consummated the mating, no less.

Well, he can have a nice life. The moment an opportunity presents itself, I’m out of here.

I just need to locate someone who’ll portal me back to Earth before he finds me.

I loved the back and forth character POV’s. (In both books)!!!!

The ending was amazing I wish it was a little longer to know more about their life’s in the ending. 9/10 recommend

Dangerously devoted

Audiobook: Narrators - CJ Bloom and Sebastian York

The audiobook version of this story is phenomenal. The narrators were amazing! They didn’t just read the book, they brought it to life. Their voices added depth, emotion, and tension in all the right places, turning an already gripping story into a full blown cinematic like experience. This performance makes it more intense, more immersive, and honestly…unforgettable.

Talk about heroes who’d burn the world down! Auran is dangerously devoted in the best way, and I loved every second of it. This sequel picks up right where book one ended and dives headfirst into the emotional wreckage between Auran and Elsie. The heartbreak, fury, longing, and sheer power wrapped into their bond makes for an explosive, high-stakes conclusion. Elsie’s pain and need for escape feel raw and real, but of course, nothing is easy when your fated mate is a prince capable of leveling entire worlds to get you back. Their chemistry is electric, and when it sparks again…fireworks!

Beyond the romance, the world expands beautifully in this installment. New characters, dangerous secrets, and shifting allegiances hint at an even larger story waiting to unfold, and I truly hope we return to this universe. It’s rich with possibility and teeming with magic, danger, and emotion. If you’re a fan of fantasy romance with intense passion, morally gray heroes, and heroines who fight back, this duet is a must-read. I devoured it and am already desperate for more.

It’s good but

I love these authors and the voices. I was really looking forward to another fantasy book done by them, this one kinda fell short. It was good, but bottom of the list.

A good conclusion!

A good conclusion to Elsie’s and Aruan’s story.
Aruan is a very intense character so it’s understandable why the prophecy scared people and therefore separating Elsie from him. Overall this new fantasy world was interesting and I would’ve liked to be more immersed in it but this series was short.

Both narrators performed their part well.

Wonderful series

I absolutely adore the unique and captivating perspective that this story offers, encompassing everything that makes it so intriguing. I am a loyal fan of the narrators, so you have chosen the two best in the industry. This series makes you contemplate the future of AI in our world and the events that transpired centuries ago when the pyramids were constructed. Regardless, it is an exceptional series.

Elise grr

Elise omg she annoyed me to no end. I get she didnt choose to be mated or the life she was given. Buy she was constantly doing things to put herself in danger and fighting the bond and blaming Aruan for his reaction to her when she was given a second chance at life. Anyway I figured who the traitor was and was glad they finally bonded properly. Nice ending.

Fantasy, Passion, and Intrigue

This is the second and last installment in the A Realm of Dragons & Scrolls duet, a dark fantasy series. Aruan and Elsie’s story continues where the first book left off. The world-building is enthralling and captivating. CJ Bloom and Sebastian York did an outstanding job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it.

Dark Prince’s Mate

Book 2 was better than book 1. I like seeing Elsie grow into a strong woman not limited by her health. Feisty, confident and learning quickly.

All the mishaps are going to send everyone on the planet to an early grave. Anyone harms or threatens his mate and he loses control over his powers.

Elsie truly comes into her own and I loved it. I also loved the growing relationship with Aruan. Cold and calculated meets passionate and not actually cold-hearted.
The latter half of the book flew by and I was ready for the mystery to be solved so there could be a HEA. I picked the wrong villain but it could only be a couple people. Not telling that secret.

I also enjoyed the epilogue.

Thrilling Conclusion

The perfect conclusion to this incredible world Anna and Charmaine have built. It was captivating, full of twists and turns and so much excitement. Loved the back forth between Elsie and Auran but sometimes they were too stubborn for their own good. Their journey to love was beautiful. The narration was just as wonderful as the first book with CJ Bloom and Sebastian York. They bring the story to life. What a thrilling duet and conclusion for Elsie and Auran!

The love

I loved it all! Such a great book series! I’m impressed would reread this again any time
