Once upon a Demon's Heart

Once upon a Demon's Heart, Book 1

De: K. M. Moronova

Narrado por: Madison Mitts, Theodore Zephyr

This is no fairytale; it's the yearning and guilt of two burdened hearts that will leave you breathless.

Alira, a devoted demigod knight, has found herself trapped in the throes of a brutal curse—a time loop in which the demon kingdom's Blood Knight kills her every time. She is haunted by the attack she led on the innocent village of Thornhall, and her guilt consumes her from the inside out. After the twentieth time loop, she has finally had enough. Something has to change, lest she die at the Blood Knight's hand for the rest of time. A choice she hopes she won't regret—one to end the war between demigods and demons. Alira is shocked when she realizes that she's marrying the very knight who has slain her so many times.

A daughter of Venus and a duke of demons. Their love is both cursed and destined—a marriage to save the fragility of their kingdoms.

Kalel is as cruel as they come. A devourer who survives on the gilded blood of demigods. He wants to hate her as much as he did when Thornhall fell, but he finds himself warring with his heart over his emotions for her. Together, they unravel the truths of Faultore, that perhaps not everything is as it seems. The gods may be pulling more strings than they should.

It's not a question of what love can conquer; it is a matter of what they are prepared to demolish in the path of it.

Narrated in duet style.

— I absolutely flew through it and loved every second! Once Upon a Demon’s Heart is such a unique and addictive fantasy romance. The pacing is perfect: not too long, not too short, and every chapter pulls you deeper into Alira and Kalel’s world.
The writing is vivid and emotional, with just the right balance of action, twists, magic, lust, and heartbreak. I was hooked from page one and couldn’t stop rooting for these two enemies-to-lovers caught in such a dark, beautiful story.
If you love fantasy, romance, and complex characters with sizzling chemistry, go get this book and enjoy! I can’t wait for Book 2 in the Cruel Fates Duet!

A Tactical Alliance with Emotional Fallout

Once Upon a Demon’s Heart by K.M. Moronova

This romantasy swept me away with its emotional depth, mythic stakes, and unforgettable characters. It’s a fast-paced, enemies-to-lovers tale that blends divine curses, political tension, and slow-burn romance into something truly unique.

Alira, a demigod knight, is caught in a brutal time loop—dying again and again at the hands of Kalel, the demon Blood Knight. Her only escape? An arranged marriage to the very enemy who’s been her executioner. What follows is a tense, emotionally charged journey through guilt, power, and reluctant intimacy.

The worldbuilding is rich with Roman-inspired mythology, dragons, dire wolves, and divine interference. Kalel is a standout: morally black, emotionally scarred, and impossible to ignore. Alira’s arc is equally compelling—her strength lies not just in battle, but in her ability to confront her past and choose a different future.

“You are the only thing I’ve ever wanted that I wasn’t allowed to have.”

Warning: This ends on an emotional cliffhanger!

Such an incredible story!

This hooked me from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. And the narrators.. phenomenal. I couldn’t have dreamt up a better cast. I cannot wait for the next one in July!!

I LOVED THE DUET STYLE NARRATION AND THE NARRATORS

Great story and narrators. The two main characters both have a depth that keeps you wanting to know more about their past. I'm definitely going to be impatiently waiting for the next book.
