The Serpent and the Wolf

De: Rebecca Robinson

Narrado por: Jesse Vilinsky

Perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy and Thea Guanzon, Rebecca Robinson’s thrilling romantasy debut combines high-stakes political intrigue and a steamy, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance.

All her life, Vaasa Kozár has been sharpened into a blade.

After losing her mother—her only remaining parent—to a mysterious dark magic that has since awakened within her, Vaasa is certain death looms. So is her merciless brother, who aims to eliminate Vaasa as a threat to his crown. In one last political scheme, he marries her off to Reid of Mireh, a ruthless foreign ruler, in hopes that he can use her death as a rallying cry to finally invade Reid’s nation. All Vaasa has to do is die.

But she is desperate to live. Vaasa enters her new marriage with every intent to escape it, wielding the hard-won political prowess and combat abilities her late father instilled in her. But to her surprise, Reid offers her a deal: help him win the votes to rise in power, and she can walk free. In exchange, he will share his knowledge about the dark magic running through her veins—and help keep it at bay.

This proposal may be too good to refuse, yet Vaasa and Reid’s undeniable attraction threatens to break the rules of their arrangement. As her brother’s lethal machinations take form, everything is at stake: Vaasa must learn to trust her new husband, but how can she, especially when their perfect political marriage begins to feel like the real thing?

Loved Everything!!

This is definitely a slow burn but in a good way. The narrator did an amazing job. A must listen.

great listen

really enjoyed the storyline and narration. bought on whim a 2 for 1 sale, and now I'm excited for the next book in the series!

🎧5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎧

This book was phenomenal, I loved the world-building and the characters so much. It’s an interesting mix of politics and romance. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did, but I am so glad I gave it a chance.

Vaasa loses her only remaining parent, the one that mattered most to her, to dark magic, but in the wake of her loss, she seems to have come into her magic, and if she doesn’t learn to control it before it controls her, it will kill her as well.

She is arranged to marry Reid, and to say she is not happy about it is an understatement, but if it gets her away from her brother, she is willing to do what it takes.

I loved the narrator Jesse really gives us such distinct voices for each of the characters, it was as if I was immersed in the world. Not a lot of narrators can do that for me.

Really impressed!!

For a new author, Rebecca did a fantastic job weaving the intricate details of this story. I appreciate the effort she put into creating this magical world. The story itself is well-written, and the narration is excellent!! There is smut, but it isn’t used as a space filler. There is magic, love, betrayal, plot twists, and one hell of a cliffhanger. I am impatiently awaiting book 2!!

Great blind buy

Great plot. Nice mix of romance with a small bit of spice. Nice focus on the magic system and suspense.

The magic system and complex relationships. Also the political landscape..

I liked the relationships explored, the political intrigue and the slow burn romance between the main characters.

That ending!

Pleasantly surprised, couldn’t put the book down. Really enjoyed the action packed and fast pace of this story, and the characters were very relatable…politics and twist and turns through out but that ending! Can’t wait for book 2.

Action with emotions!

It moved like a train! Good action and intrigue. Enjoyable banter between the primary couple leading to slow burn.

A masterpiece of slowburn

I devoured this book in less than 2 days! Reid is my new favorite book husband. Thank God this is a duology & the rest of the story will be released in the next year or so. The MFC was so relatable to someone like myself who’s endured a lot of pain and trauma. I found this story deeply moving and healing.

Perfect romantasy

a romantacy where the female main character is bad**s loved her personality. Loved the slow burn romance and the banter. The plot twists had me shook. The mmc was perfect in my opinion. I can’t wait for book 2!! Only thing I didn’t love was the voice for Reid it sounded like a old man and was hard to get used to
