Publisher's summary

A woman with no memory of her past. Another unable to forget. Both haunted by a sinister creature of roses and shadow with an unquenchable thirst for royal blood. Return to the world of the Black Rose Guard.

Mara, Captain of the Black Rose for over 800 years, thought she had taken her last immortal life. But now, with her sub-captain dead at the hands of the Arum Court, she again must don the blade she vowed to never raise again. However, the task will prove ever more dangerous as the shadow of Mara's past returns to awaken the long-dormant roses.

Reunited with her lost love, Mara must also come to terms with her past in order to embrace her future. Can she forgive the man she loves for betraying her heart? And can she redeem herself for the death of the princess she failed to save?

Across the sea, Sandra is haunted by the same presence, leading her deeper into the pieces of her mysterious past. Echoes of memory. Glimpses of fate. And a secret that will change everything for both herself and the captains who seek to rescue her from the hands of Mathew, King of the Arum Court, who has a dark agenda of his own.

Join the captains of the Immortal Guard on their journey toward honor, vengeance, forgiveness, and a love that refused to be banished.

Captivating and keeps you wanting more

In the third book of the Takes of the Black Rose Guard, K.L. Bone takes us deeper into Mara and Edward's world and their relationship. This book shows us the relationship between Queen Clarissa, Liza, Mara and Edward. And we get to see more of Queen Clarissa and how cruel she can be. We see how little regard she has for her daughter all because she doesn't believe in love. We also learn more about Lady Sandra and start to wonder more of who she is and where she comes from. I can't wait to read more about her. Also we get to see more of Sarah and what happened to her after book 2. We learn more about secondary characters such as Jake (who is one of my favorite secondary characters). We see the relationship between Mara and Edward grow and and fall. KL Bone sure does know how to give you all the feels in the world just to shatter them. Can't wait to read Shadow of the Rose.

Wow

This is a deep and complex story with a timeless love story. It is mesmerizing and intriguing to me because I haven’t listened to this rest of this series and now I will need to go back and listen to them all. I really enjoyed the narration on this Sara did an amazing job.

Interesting

This is the third book in the Black Rose Series. This is an original and complex story. Unfortunately, I haven't listened to the second book in the Series. The storyline is great, intriguing, and gripping. Mara and Edward's story is beautifully written, romantic, dark, and twisted. Sara Dunham did a good job with the narration. #AudiobookObsession

Another great book in the series.

I can't tell you how much I love Edward and Mara's love. I love the angst and how is spans so many centuries. We learn move about Edward's and Mara's past in this book. We also learn more about the Queen's evilness and jealously. We learn a little more about Sandra and how she fits into everything. We also learn a spoiler teaser about her that will probably not be revealed until the next book. We also got to see a special "event" between Edward and Mara which I have been waiting forever for. Alas we also see how duty has kept them apart. I can't wait to see what happens next. I just want the Queen to die!!!! The Sara does an amazing job bringing the character to life and keeping the listener engaged. # Audible Obsession Review.

I absolutely love these books!!

I love the story between Mara & Edward. Their love is so deep... I was unsure about reading this one but am very glad I did. I just couldn't see how Edward could love anyone else.
