Publisher's Summary

Shifter and vampire true mates story.

Alek's older brother, Justice - the Alpha Zenith - was the first shifter to mate with a vampire in many generations, and it was believed the rare, fated pairing would stop at him. But, it hadn't. Aleksei "Alek" Volkov was second beta, next in succession to the most powerful shifter in the world. He was proud of his title and he took his duties seriously. It was all he had. Until his true mate literally showed up on his doorstep.

Belleron "Bell" Liatos had come to the states for one reason - his best friend and vampire king, Chadwick Bentley. He certainly didn't come to be pounced on by a wolf that could act independently of its master. Not only was his destined cherished a complicated and confused man, but he was also unaware of the powerful presence that lurked in the shadows of his soul. Bell didn't know he'd be the key to unlocking an exceptional triad that would play a critical role in fulfilling the prophesy.

Contains mature themes.

Well...my, my, my....

A.E., wow. I adore the way you reach into this story and pull it together. At first I thought, hmmm...slow start. But it doesn't take long for you to dive headlong into a story of shifters and vampires with a brilliant imagination! And the sex. my, my, my...I feel a need to say thank you for that alone. I like a story with a lot of story, and admittedly, you did a lot of sex in this one, but it fit and dang...hot and hot and hot. Bravo. All I can say is...git' to writin' more!

Troy, wow. You are these characters. It could not have been more perfect.

Listener, get the first one and listen to it to get a good background, but you could get away with starting with this one. And get ready for a ride into shifters and vampires most haven't even thought of. Alphas, DemiGods, Royal Vampires...well...gird your loins and get ready for a pretty intense ride.

so excited for this series

Poor Alek. He's so toubled and burdened with something beyond him. He has suffered loss and seemed to have no one to help him. Alek is one of several brothers and a sister that have all been blessed by a goddess but Alek's blessing is also a curse. Belleron is a powerful vampire that has lived many years on his and answering to no one but his king. Bell is perfect for Alek because he is strong and can handle Alek and his "blessings." action packed, a little romance, some hot sex and enough interest that i can hardly wait for the follow-up.

I always buy her new stuff

This author is one of the best in the genre . I always get the audio when it comes out . It may start off a little slow but I love this series . So different from “nothing special “ series that made me fall in love with this author

Almost DNF this book... but still gave it 4 stars?

First let me say I really liked this narrator for this book, the voice goes really well for the story and tone. Also I really liked this story. The author could have added a little more explanation but I really did like it and the first one as well. I will not be reading any others thought. I do not like when a character is “straight” and then is mated to someone of the same sex who then makes then “gay”. The author has already Insinuated that is how the next book is going to go. Plus two charter frequently discuss there Hetero relationships and either the author will do the same or they’re story’s will be left out because she only write MM romance. I do realize this is a personal issue so if that situation doesn’t bother you this is a really good series.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK OF THIS SERIES

The narrator has a good range of tone and base make the story even better😊😊
the story pace is just right. The danger intensity need to be rising just a little bit.

Not As Strong As Book 1. But, Still Good.😏

I have waited for almost a year if not a year for book 2 to become available on audible. Book 1 was so good the way it left us wanting more. In book 2 it does pick up from the end of book 1, but it goes in another direction, which wasn't bad, but I did not expect that. The storyline was a little above average. Not at all as strong as book 1. This story should have been totally about war and not Alec's story. Its wars, which whom I like. In my opinion Alec is no longer relavent and not needed anymore. Troy Duran did an amazing job with his narration of these characters. I still think that A.E. Via is a wonderful author, and I'm still a fan, I look forward in purchasing, and listening to this complete series. I just pray🙏that for us who only listen to books on audible, will not have to wait soooo long again for the complete series, or book 3 to become available to us. Ps. I do recommend this series.🙂

Prophesy:Book 2The Bringer of Wrath

OMG THESE BOOKS ARE FABULOUS, they take You on a WILD ride but it explains all the twist and turns as You go along I have listened to part 1&2 so far and have LOVED both can't wait to read the next book :.I use say that EVERY book by A.E.VIA has been a Marvelous and ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE CAN'T PUT THEM DOWN,, READ
ONE AND YOU WILL BE HOOKED

Troy Duran is AMAZING

I love this series and I love this book! I don’t have enough superlatives to explain how much, but the world building is fantastic. Just enough uniqueness to make it stand out in the world of paranormal romance, but enough familiar themes to keep a die-hard fan like me appeased.

There were times when I definitely felt like this should be labeled as a ménage, I should warn you, however. The character building is so strong that the “beasts” inside Alec take on their own personalities and the way the author describes their interaction with one another and with Bell sometimes felt like separate beings at times… a lot of the time.

I found the explanation for Alec’s situation really well done and the way Bell manages him and his issues was also really good. I also loved that Bell never felt as “submissive” to Alec as I maybe sometimes felt with Wick and Justice.

There is a TON of smexy times, but definitely less than book 1 – which for me – was a good thing.

After having listened to book 1 on audio I can say I hope the author uses the same narrator and I can’t wait for it to make it to audio!

I think you need to read book 1 to really appreciate this, but I bet it’s fine as a standalone if you haven’t.

(I didn't feel this was an HFN, FWIW - it felt very complete to me.)


Highly recommended!

Troy Duran is AMAZING!!! I loved this so so so much! He does a terrific job with the “triplets” as well as all the other millions of characters. So recommended!

6 of 5 stars

Exceptional series!

This series has gone above and beyond anything I was expecting, it just got better and better. It is full of heart rending scenes, humor & erotic romance. Five stars? Try TEN! As a straight old lady I was very surprised that the erotic M/M scenes didn't detract from the story at all, it was delightfully enthralling. I love vamp/shifter stories and the author built a world I quickly became engrossed in. I hope that another series is built off of this one! The narrator was perfect for these novels, his rich voice was completely engrossing. My only negative comment is that there aren't another twenty books in the series!!! Don't hesitate to use your credits, you won't regret it! It is a series you'll listen to more than once and enjoy it just as much the next time around❤️

4.5 Stars on this one!

Mostly because I Love Troy Duran’s narration! That is why I gave it 4.5 Stars. The story was just 4 Stars. I am just not a fan of M/M books. I got these books on Audibles sale at 80% off (I think). Big discount. I don’t think I would have paid full price but at a discount it was worth it!

A sequel worth the wait!

At last the long awaited sequel to Prophesy has arrived and it was so worth it.
The Bringer of Wrath starts off where Prophesy left off with Alek Volkov, the brother of the Alpha Zenith Justice, has met his true mate,
High Lord Belleron “Bell” Liatos.
Bell has recently arrived in the States to support his best friend, Chadwick “Wick” Bentley, the true mate of the Alpha Zenith. However, their first meeting didn’t go quite as smoothly as a true mates meeting should go and it takes a while for their complex bond to develop as Alek is hiding something from Bell.
The narration was excellent although I must admit I much preferred Nathaniel Black’s narration in Prophesy.
