Promised in Fire

Of Dragons and Fae, Book 1

De: Jasmine Walt

Narrado por: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

New York Times bestseller Jasmine Walt returns with this first book in a brand-new fantasy series, perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, thrilling adventures, and awe-inspiring worlds...

A fae with impossible magic.

Adara has been an outsider for as long as she can remember. Born and raised in the earth fae realm, she's a water fae who can't control her magic, making her not just useless but downright dangerous at times.

When a training mishap accidentally unleashes a hidden magic inside her, Adara suddenly finds herself on the run. The king wants to use her powers for nefarious reasons, and he'll stop at nothing to obtain her—including kidnapping and torturing Adara's mother.

A dragon awoken from slumber.

As the last of his kind, Einar wants nothing to do with the kingdom of Ediria or its problems. The fae hunted his kind to extinction, and he harbors only hatred for them in his heart.

But when a beautiful fae female awakens him from an enchanted slumber, Einar is reluctantly ensnared. And while he would rather die than submit to any fae, every fiber of his body screams to claim her as his own.

A kingdom corrupted by darkness.

The last thing Adara and Einar want to do is join forces, no matter how scorching the passion between them is. But a dark magic is sweeping through the land, rotting the kingdom from the inside out. And if the two cannot put aside the centuries-old feud between their races, they will lose everything they hold dear...

If you like steamy, slow-burn romance, heart-pounding elemental duels, and unmatched world-building, then you'll love Promised in Fire.

Good but not sure I'll continue the series

I enjoyed Promised in Fire. I think the female narrator, Bridget Bordeaux, was great. The male narrator was a bit too intense and it was kind of a distraction for me from the story. I was thinking in my mind more about the narrator than the story. However, the male narrator did soften his tone later in the book, making it less of an issue towards the end.

Elements I enjoyed were: slow burn (it's realllllly slow); hidden magic; hidden origins/past; world building; fated mates; a dark essence threatening everyone; variety of magic.

Definitely worth the listen

Unexpected plot twist and great banter. The narration is beautifully done and we have a protective and broody MMC.

Stop at first book

I just finished the third book and the 2nd/3rd were so hard. This series could be 2 books max. Save yourself and stop after book one. It has almost zero spice, and the story grasps for straws and is drawn out.

5 stars

Fast paced and entertaining with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Hooks you

Loved the book!!I am obsessed with ACOTAR and Fourth wing and this is the first book since them I have actually wanted to finish. Great read. Not my favorite narrators but you get use to them.
