To Bleed a Kingdom

The Bleeding Realms, Book 1

De: Ella Dawes

Narrado por: Laura Horowitz, Tristan Warden

A bastard prince. A fiery beauty. A star-crossed love that will bleed through the realms...

For over thirty years, the city of Seboia has barricaded itself against the Gods Cursed kingdom of Brecca and its monstrous creations. Now, the Soulless' numbers are swelling, and their attacks are rising in frequency—an ominous prelude for the darkness sure to come.

Captain of the Guard, Darius, must remain focused on his duty to protect his kingdom. But when a group of foreigners arrives in Seboia, their alluring leader becomes an unwanted distraction. A scarred beauty with a sharp mind and even sharper tongue, Lena rouses an all-consuming hunger within the Fire Immortal. A hunger he fears only she can satisfy.

Lena has traveled to Seboia for one purpose and one purpose alone. But when she discovers the Gods' influence rooted within the very souls of its people and meets the surly Captain who awakens long-suppressed needs, she finds herself helplessly veering away from her sacred path.

As their enemies close in, Lena and Darius are thrown together by forces outside their control. And unless they can find a way to trust each other—and tame the desire scorching through their veins—their passion will set the kingdom ablaze in blood and flames.

Featuring a fierce heroine, an alpha immortal, and a quirky cast of fae and shifters, To Bleed A Kingdom is the first book in an addictively sexy, action-packed, dark fantasy series.

Although To Bleed A Kingdom is humorous, fun, and a bit quirky, it also contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Interesting world

Kind of hard to follow in Audible version, may need to read physical version. Interested in how the story will proceed

Great story until the end…

I was really enjoying this story and the characters, but the ending was very lacking for me. To be left with more questions and absolutely zero answers?! Makes me wonder if the author isn’t sure what Lena and her comrades are.

The female narrator was great, but the male gets 2 thumbs down from me. He was very robotic the majority of the time and his voices are terrible.

To Bleed A Kingdom

The book was perfection with the intricate secrets, witty banter and camaraderie between the supporting characters, but the male narrator grated after a while.

So good!

My only critique - the two voice actors had completely different sounding cadence when voicing the same character.

But the book is awesome! I love the slow burn and the cliff hanger
