Publisher's summary

They call him the Silent Death, because he kills without sound and leaves none capable of speaking in his wake…

When the empire’s deadliest fae murderer catches her wielding forbidden magic, twenty-year-old Emelin believes her hour has come. Instead, her inhumanly beautiful captor spares her life, but carries her off on his velvet wings into the one place from which no human ever returns:

The heart of the Fae Isles. The treacherous Crimson Court, where the Mother of faekind has ruled unchallenged over fae and humans for decades.

The Silent Death is supposed to be the Mother’s loyal servant, her invincible warrior, her ruthless, soulless killer. But in the shadows he is playing a game of his own, and he needs Emelin’s magic to win it.

If she agrees to work with him, she could free all of humanity. But can she trust a fae male with so much blood on his hands? Worse, when his smouldering dark eyes and dangerous secrets reveal glimpses of the heart behind his murderer’s mask…can she trust herself?

Court of Blood and Bindings is the first book of the Fae Isles series, an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance featuring a strong-willed heroine and a broody, morally grey hero. It contains a generous dose of smouldering glances, angry yearning, and midnight meetings of the illicit type, as well as other mature themes.

Steamy Adventure

Can’t wait for book 2! I wish audible would release more at once. The narration was great and the story was well paced with just the right combination of steaminess/adventure. Highly recommend if you enjoy a fae romance.

Charming and delightful to listen to

I loved this book! The narrator did a fantastic job and it was just overall a delight to listen to and captivating. I couldn't stop listening and I'm excited for more!

Nice book, 3 out 5 stars

Good book, good story but it gets dull at points and I feel the author hyper fixated on the inner monologue of the main character which maybe why I felt like it the story just creeped by at times. I would definitely read the following books of the series though. Nice dusting of spice too.

Ready for book 2!

I really enjoyed it. I was disappointed that it was a newer release and I couldn’t just binge through the series.

Loved it!

I ended up really liking this book. It started a little slow, but I think the author was building a foundation for the other books in the series, but it picked up, and I was hooked. I was so relieved that it wasn't another poor imitation of other more popular fantasy romance books. I'm so tired of that. This one had its own unique take on things, and I'd definitely recommend it. I also really liked the narrator. I jumped right into book 2 as soon as it ended. Fingers crossed it's just as good.

Great

Great story with unique take on fae magic. Stellar performance by narrator - lots of voice variations that don’t feel forced. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Hang in there! 2nd half of book is good!

Good narration. The 1st half of the book is frustrating because the annoying FMC irrational arguing and story is sloooow to start. Good spice and story does evolve and you get invested.

It was okay

The story itself is interesting but I’m not really a fan of the way it was written, it was kind of repetitive at times.

🖤

Interesting type of magic. The story is new and exciting. I think the second will be better than the first. Great book. I wanted more spice but there was some 🌶️.
