Publisher's summary

In a game of power, can love be the deadliest weapon?

Stirling Grey, legendary negotiator, is on a mission: to mend her broken heart and avenge its ruin.

Morrigan Lee, hidden princess and heir to the throne, is harboring a dark secret.

For years, Stirling and Morrigan navigated the perilous games of power and politics, shared clandestine moments, and ultimately fell in love... Until a deal with fate forced them apart.

When the Queen sets a formidable challenge, Stirling and Morrigan are thrust into a treacherous labyrinth of danger.

The task? Protect the kingdom from a terrifying threat or lose the crown forever.

But this is not a simple mission. With the clock ticking, they're going to have to trust each other... And that's not easy when their past is filled with betrayal. It's even harder when their hearts are entangled amidst the chaos.

Now, neither woman is sure if it's the throne they want to rescue or love they want to rekindle.

Two hearts, one kingdom, and a romance that could lead to their ruin… or just maybe their redemption.

This is a steamy lesbian fantasy romance with second chances, ruinous secrets, found family, a masquerade ball, a long con, and a love that could either shatter a kingdom or save it. Intended for mature listeners.

Romance and Ruin

I knew it! This series has me completely - I almost don't wanna read the last book because I don't want it to end!!😭

Stirling and Morrigan are just 🤌🥰... their love runs DEEP, which you can tell right away in the first book. Here, we get a look in their past and learn how they came to be apart. We also leave that you can't really keep them apart lol.

There's so much more intrigue, mystery, excitement, and romance in the series....I love it all!!

Sexy Magical Adventure!!

I love the series, team (production and characters), story, and can’t wait for the next book’s Audible release.

Not all sequels deliver… but this one does!

Despite this being a fantasy adventure. Ms. Roe has a way with the ladies and keeps our heroines front and center in this epic spicy romance! There are still plenty of moral ambiguities but no more difficult than what occurs in war, except in this case, beyond fighting for land, resources, “our way of life”, a phrase used to justify numerous atrocities, these characters are fighting for something far simpler and even more precious- the right to exist! Despite great progress, there are many times and places where appearing invisible or sacrificing any true sense of self, is still the preferred or safest choice for LGBTQIA folks. For anyone, even in this lush and lusty romp of a story, it is clear that there is a price to pay for secrets. The back and forth between time periods is a bit dizzying but I personally like the layers and putting the puzzle together! Be aware, this one starts a little slower, and then it runs like a stampede all the way to its glorious ending! The duo narration is a huge bonus! You could read this as a stand-alone but the first story lubricates the second one and makes it much juicier, so read it first. Highly recommend!

Love is a messy business 

Being able to relate to what the trials of love can go through in relationships was very real. Feeling the flow and dynamics of all the different character relationships was nice. We got to see more about how they all grow as a group! The magic system was more inclusive this book. I enjoyed the over all storyline!

It’s just so good.

I love it as much as the first. I am so ready for the third book!

A fun and spicy listen!!

My favorite book of the series. The story is sooo good! Wonderfully Narrated by Islay Jacobs (she hit Scarlet and Sterling out of the park!) and Kio Sija. The life they give the characters is fantastic! So much attitude. I loved it.

This audiobook is fiiiireeeeee

This audiobook is fiiiireeeeee.... omg. Holy hot second chance romance - is another this a wild riiiiide from Ruby! I had high expectations for this and I'm happy to say that Ms Ruby Roe met every single one of them. Because I listened to the audiobook and loved it so much, I waited until this audiobook came out because the experience is just stellar. The narrators + this story = perfection. I can't even right now with this book. This is a second chance, sapphic dark romantasy novel following Scarlett's twin, Stirling, whom I loved from book 1, and her ex, Morrigan, as she gets ready to take the crown. As in the first book, the world-building is phenomenal, the characters are captivating, the chemistry is EXPLOSIVE and the narrators are perfect for the vibe of this book. I ached through this book. The relationship between Morrigan and Stirling was gut-wrenching at times. The love they have for each other- the frustration and the ups and downs. How complicated love is and yet how it just can't be helped. GAH! So angsty!! These two had me by the throat and didn't let go.
This book was just phenomenal.

AND- I can't not mention - Ruby Roe writes some HELLA sapphic steam. OMFG. There are plenty in this book but the sex magic scene. I needed resuscitation after that one. Just wow.

I'm so ready for book 3 but I'm loving the audiobooks of these stories so I'll be waiting for the next audiobook to be released!

I couldn’t stop listening

Super fun series! I liked that we got to finally figure out Morgan and Sterling’s “deal”! These 2 narrators are fantastic and do such an awesome job! Give it up for the queers!

Another win for Ruby Roe

Absolutely love Roe and her writing. The narrators bring the characters to life! I can’t wait for the third to be released.

I love the magic in this one!

I loved the first book but this one was so much better. made me cry a few times and she paints a great picture of what's happening. the first one had more angst and this one was love lost love gained love scorned love conquers... I could relate to a lot of the character situation/emotions. my other favorite is hearing about the magic!!! can't wait to hear about Remy!
