Wicked and the Damned

In the exhilarating second romantasy novel in Rebecca Robinson’s Dark Inheritance Trilogy, a fiery couple forced apart must navigate a deadly maze of politics and power to reunite across a continent at war.

Torn from her husband Reid’s arms and dragged back to her homeland in chains, Vaasa is no longer a ruler, but a political pawn. Now under the control of Ozik—a cunning Zetyr witch with a stranglehold on her magic—she faces annulment, forced betrothal, and a kingdom that no longer feels like her own. As Ozik’s machinations aim to install himself as the true power behind the Asteryan throne, Vaasa is forced to take part in his game.

Meanwhile, across the continent, Reid is done playing politics. But waging war is never simple, and a soldier’s fury cannot stand up against Icruria’s bureaucracy. With allies fading and time slipping away, Reid may have no choice but to infiltrate Asterya on his own to find the woman he loves and bring her home.

As Vaasa’s magic begins to flare, she desperately seeks control, even if Ozik is the only one who can offer it. She then finds a cryptic final message from her mother about a precious missing necklace that might just be the answer to finally freeing her magic from Ozik. Yet when a ghost from Vaasa’s past reemerges among the suitors vying for her hand, escape might be within reach—but will it demand a betrayal that real love may not survive?

Plot twist

Happy with the second book. Plot did not slow. ended well, looking forward to the third and final book

Great audiobook and continuation of series

This book felt a little like a bridge between books and contained a ton of reveals. I enjoyed the political maneuvering and as anyone who loves the MCs would, wanted them to reunite 250 pages earlier. Hahaha still a great edition—love her writing!! I really enjoyed the reader as well—same as the first book.

Amazing story

Absolutely loved this story! This series is a top for me. The Narrator was great. I wish this one had dual actors to match the dual POV. I like to have an audio to go with my physical or ebook when I’m really engrossed in a story for when I am on the road or cleaning house. Whispersync makes that so easy

Excellent writing. Excellent narration. Excellent story.

I loved everything about this book. The spicy scenes were so good. The “love triangle” so different. The back story heart wrenching. The magic and the witches endearing. Fabulous!!

SO GOOD

Ughhhh I need book three now!!! Loved this so much and the narrator is so good.
