Publisher's summary

Survival demands more than blood. It demands souls.

Mourning the loss of her cousin and missing bond, Dyna lies trapped with the enemy. Alone and afraid, the time has come to be her own savior. She will use every skill and spell her Guardians taught her to survive. Because the damsel is dead. This time, she fights.

Cassiel and the Guardians are desperate to find their Maiden. Except they cannot do it alone. The journey to cross Troll Bridge proves harder than ever as they race against the impending winter. When the High King summons him to answer for his crimes, Cassiel will sacrifice everything in order to save the one person he can't live without. Even if it means his fate will end in exile—or a throne.

Dyna and her Guardians will all face a trial by fire as they confront their greatest threat yet. Themselves. And when ice meets flame, will they be willing to pay the price?

The hunt for Mount Ida reaches new heights and dark lows as the Guardians of the Maiden continues in this heart gripping tale about the bounds of love, duty, and power.

I am so enthralled with this delightful series and heartbroken over what happened with the to soul bonded lovers that has left me on the cliff of their journey and need to know what end will come to them all. Please give a hint of when the last book will come to Audible.

Excellent audiobook! The story was brought to life by the narrators!

I cannot give this book or series enough stars! The intricate world and plot are mesmerizing. Each book, especially this one, brings you a little closer to having questions answered and secrets revealed. There are moments when you have a sudden realization and clarity of how pieces fit together in the puzzle of this world. Then there are times when you are right back to having more wonder about the history, the world, the characters, and everything, but not in a way that confuses you, but rather in a way that excites you and makes you want to continue reading and diving into this universe. The details the author gives make you feel as if you are in the world, in the moment with them. This book has so much love, growth, surprises, hidden secrets, and adventure that you will never be bored.

The characters have so much depth and history you feel like you know them personally. I have felt what some of these characters have felt. I have gone through very similar scenarios and feel like these characters understand me, and sometimes I feel like I am them, like I have walked in their shoes. This book has helped me see things in different ways, to feel what I need to feel, and have words that back up what I am feeling or have felt that I wasn't able to say on my own. Even the villain has such a strong backstory that you can see why they have become the villain, and I actually really feel for him, which doesn't happen often. That doesn't in the slightest mean I agree with anything he has done, I just have an understanding of why he is the way he is. If I went through what he did, I would definitely have lost my mind. In this book, you really get to know the characters, their history, and their connections to others, and they become such whole characters that it is beyond impressive. You will love with them, hate with them, cry with them, laugh with them, and feel every other emotion in between with them. I learned so much in this book, not just about the characters and world itself, but about myself as well.

If you want a book that will have you in your feels, have your mind working, have you feel like you cannot get enough, this book is for you. I know the length of this book may seem daunting, but trust me when I tell you, it is so worth reading. I absolutely devoured this book the first time and have read it two additional times.

This book, in particular, holds a very dear place in my heart and mind. I will forever recommend this book and series, and I cannot wait to continue on this journey with the Guardians of the Maiden.

So many emotions…

As the title proclaims the third book in the Guardians of the Madian (GOTM) series Shattered me entirely.

Reading the book was an emotional roller coaster. But listening to it … god of urn… this book is an absolute masterpiece in every way. It had me crying, laughing, angry. All emotions were invoked through this and Becks writing is on another level! The narrators did an OUTSTANDING job portraying the characters and reflecting their emotions/thoughts etc.

I am once again blown away by the author and narrators…I cannot wait for book 4!

I must listen!

This was an incredible audiobook! The voices of all the characters were perfect. Definitely recommend if you’re reading the GOTM series.💙
