A Vow of Embers

The Eye of the Goddess, Book 2

By: Sariah Wilson

Narrated by: Therese Plummer

A princess’s forced marriage to a dangerously seductive prince becomes a life-and-death alliance in an exhilarating adventure by Sariah Wilson, the USA Today bestselling author of A Tribute of Fire.

Lia is always prepared for battle, but being blackmailed into marriage by Prince Alexandros is a challenge too far. She has no choice. He’s holding her sister hostage to force her hand. But with this union built on betrayal and rage comes a contract. By the goddess’s law, the marriage must not be consummated. A relief to Lia. She’d rather commit regicide than fall into bed with a man she loathes.

There is one other saving grace. Marriage gives Lia access to the palace and a chance to uncover the truth about the treasured eye of the goddess—and the magic it holds. But something inexplicable and impossible to ignore soon binds Lia and the prince. By night they walk in each other’s dreams, and by day they share each other’s pain.

As longing and trust grow between Lia and Alexandros and inhibited desires are set free, outside forces rise against them, posing an ever-present danger. Not only to the throne but to their very lives.

Critic reviews

“Original, clever, skillfully written, and unreservedly recommended...”—Midwest Book Review

gotta get away read

just what I wanted to get me though hot summer days. Looking forward to completing the story.

Can’t wait for the 3rd book!

Couldn’t put this one down! I love the characters and story line. Picks up where the first book left off.

A good read

I enjoyed reading the Tribute of Fire so much and it was hard waiting for the second book. A vow of Embers is also good especially the last several chapters of the book. I’m excited to read the last book when it comes out. This book did have Lia and Xander fight a lot! I realize there was a lot for them to work out in their relationship, but Lia in particular became annoying in downplaying or dismissing any sign of affection from Xander. The story really picked up in the last ten or so chapters.

Slow Burn. Twists. Found Family.

What a ride! Throughly enjoyed the continuation and couldn’t stop thinking out it. Excited to see Lia and the rest of the gang in the final showdown! Love this story. Definitely in my top faves.

OMG so good!

This is a great series. Loved the story and it is well written. Characters are amazing and you are sucked in immediately. It is a must read for sure!
