Severed Heart: The Birth of a Warrior

The Ravenhood Legacy, Book 2

By: Kate Stewart

Narrated by: Grayson Owens, Leila Allarie

Go deeper with the Ravenhood Legacy in this second installment of the sizzling, darkly seductive, internationally bestselling series spin-off. Here, at last and in his own words, is Tyler's story, never before published.

Once upon a time...

There lived an ambitious boy determined to become a man before his time. And a woman and battered soldier who recognized the scars that marred his soul—scars that mirrored her own.

Determined to help shape the warrior within him, it was their inexplicable bond that would forever alter his heart. And the loss of that love that would redefine his destiny.

After all, nothing has ever been fair in love and war.

Narrated in duet style.

𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙆—
Tyler & Delphine's story was so unbelievably true and raw, and I loved every single second of it. There are so many layers to their love, and in this story we go from their past to the present to peel back those layers.

Tyler is a character that I knew from Flock I would fall in love with. Aside from Dom, he was my second fave character in this series. And 𝙎𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 just confirmed all of that. He is selfless to a fault, and such a beautiful character.

Delphine, your hear just truly breaks for her once she leaves France. It's hard for me to love a FMC (I can't lie, Cee did grate on my nerves in Ravenhood - ESPECIALLY 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙚. But Delphine, I truly did love her. She had her major shortcomings but that comes to light as the story progresses, and once you know her story - oh man, your heart just breaks.

The text exchanges were everything LOL - I lived for these.

I love that we got peeks into some events from The Ravenhood & OLRD but that wasn't the focus. We didn't rehash "the thing" that gutted us all, but we still hurt nonetheless.

In true Kate fashion, she had me sobbing. This was an emotional story, and it was beautiful.

This book was a CHONKER but truthfully, it didn't feel like that. I devoured it in 24 hours (accompanied by the audio - which by the way was phenomenal). I can't wait to see where else Tyler takes us in 𝘽𝙞𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧.

Leila and Grayson did such a phenomenal job of bringing Tyler and Delphine to life, in a beautifully executed duet narration. They immersed me completely into this story, and can’t recommend this audiobook enough!

Perfection

Kate is truly a gifted wonderful writer that makes you feel every emotion deeply. Only a few hours into the audiobook I didn’t want it to end. Narrators did an excellent job bringing the characters to life and I’ll be listening to this one and all the others in the series at least a few more times.

Narration was amazing!

Been wanting Tyler’s story for a while. Was not disappointed. The narrators were absolutely amazing. Love the duet.

Amazing narration

Phenomenal. I’m still in awe of the performance by these narrators. The story was absolutely gut wrenching. But I loved every single word and I can’t wait to listen to it again

Laughed, cried, and everything in-between!

Narrators did an excellent job, Kate of course runs us through all the emotions good and bad. Was actually happy to have a little more background on Zach, when he appeared next to Tyler in The Finish Line, and to look back and see his progress.

Have tissues ready

If you have read any of Kate’s books you will know you need tissues ready. Okay Ravens, prepare for the emotions and embrace them. This book will be gut wrenching but worth it. Delphine is definitely my favorite FMC! Kate, thank you for sharing her story.

wow

Absolutely heartbreakingly beautifully written. I loved Tyler since Flock, but this book has made me love him more, oh so much more. I felt EVERY emotion reading/listening to this. I seen some of my past and present in this book. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading this and the rest of the series.

the most incredible book

I love this authors writing. she writes such complex characters and deals with grief, healing and love in such a real and tangible way. I cried pretty much non-stop the last 2 hours of this book. this is the best book in this whole series. I always loved Tyler, but this made me love him more. their love story is the most epic of the group. it spans over 12 years. I can't recommend this book enough. I will be listening to this book again. where Dom's loss was devastating and hard to relisten to, Delphine's loss is more peaceful. no less tragic and devastating, but she was so loved. they both died in their loves arms but for some reason, hers didn't hit like his. when I say I laughed, I sobbed, I enjoyed this book so much.

Wow!!

This side story and all just like the others in this series just literally pumps my heart up and then rips it out even though I knew what was going to happen. This series will always be my favorite
