Once Written in Gilded Blood

Cruel Fates Duet, Book 2

De: K. M. Moronova

Narrado por: Madison Mitts, Theodore Zephyr

From New York Times bestselling author K.M. Moronova comes the stunning conclusion of her delicious arranged-marriage romantasy duology.

The war was supposed to end with their wedding.

Alira made her choice. She married the Blood Knight to end the war that had ravaged their kingdoms only to fall irrevocably in love with her once-sworn enemy. Now, living in Devicit as his wife, she is determined to prove that peace between demigods and demons is possible.

But something beneath the surface of their paradise feels wrong.

The veil protecting the demon kingdom shimmers with secrets. The gods are restless. And beyond the veil, old enemies have not laid down their swords.

Kalel would burn the world down to protect his bride, but the past he buried in blood refuses to stay silent. As suspicion creeps into their marriage and the threat of war closes in on Devicit, Alira and Kalel find themselves caught between devotion and doubt―between the kingdoms they were born to defend and the love they chose for themselves.

Together, they must confront the truths that could shatter everything they've built. Because peace is never freely given. And the gods are not finished with them yet.

Narrated in duet style.

Really loved it

Beautiful love story. Great listen!!!! Voices amazing!!!! The characters get better in the second book and male character is vulnerable and ok with being in love and desperate to do anything to keep his wife. Truly wonderful.

Love!

I absolutely loved this series! Beautifully written books and voices were perfect! Im sad its over but I know I'll listen to it again and again.

Great wrap up.

This was a great ending to this story. I love the trials they go through to see what really matters in life.

A good ending.

Sometimes the breathiness of the narrators can be a bit much. But overall quite good. As for the story, I didn't feel it to be rushed, and could feel the fear & agony in the love they have for one another. The ending was quite good as well. It felt true.

5 Stars

They picked the best narrators for this book. They fit the characters and the ending of this was just perfection.
