The Wolf and the Crown of Blood

De: Elizabeth May

Narrado por: Victoria Aston, John Hartley

A thrilling and incredibly sexy new dark romantasy series from Sunday Times bestselling author Elizabeth May.

A princess and a war-weary god met in the ashes of a broken city, forging a pact in blood and sacrifice.

Now, centuries of fragile peace are on the brink of collapse...

Bryony Devaliant was born to die—again and again. In Vartena, royal blood is the currency of peace, with every monarch sacrificed and resurrected to appease the gods. But when rebellion stirs, the god-king sends his deadliest weapon to restore order: an immortal assassin known only as the Wolf.

Evander has perfected the art of killing over centuries—until his latest target becomes the one person he cannot destroy. When forbidden desire burns between the assassin and the sacrificial princess, their connection threatens the fragile boundary between gods and mortals. And when that boundary shatters, empires crumble. Because when gods fall in love with mortals, mortals are always the ones to break.

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast and Eros and Psyche, this dark, seductive tale is perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy's Plated Prisoner series, with the wit and spice of Callie Hart's Quicksilver. Packed with dark fairytale vibes, gothic romance, and tropes like enemies to lovers, forced proximity, death pacts, and villain-gets-the-girl, this is a story where love is as deadly as it is irresistible.

More please!

Oh this was so good! These two need a series! I finished this book in two days. And was hoping for a cliffhanger so there would be more. Loved the ending but yeah, more please. Please and thank you!

5⭐️ what is sleep???

I couldn’t stop listening…I stayed up all night and listened to the whole book in under 24 hours. Both narrators were fantastic and story was excellent!!

Very spicy romantasy

Much spicier than I thought going into it. I also noticed I caught the male narrator’s mouth noises or gulps… a lot… it’s probably just me but it threw me off from the story.
