About this book

Lady Ammalie Avington is a woman of duty, sworn to protect a realm that is currently under threat from the very man she cannot stop thinking about. Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne is a formidable blood mage, a chaotic force of nature, and, most inconveniently, Amma’s captor. Bound together by circumstances that force them into an uneasy alliance, the pair embarks on a perilous journey across treacherous lands, navigating enchanted jungles and subterranean lairs filled with supernatural dangers.

The dynamic between the virtuous baroness and the brooding villain crackles with tension as their forced proximity begins to erode the walls around Damien’s supposedly frozen heart. While Damien remains determined to unlink their fates and pursue his agenda of ruin, Amma finds her own resolve wavering. As she discovers latent, ancient powers stirring within her, she must decide whether to adhere to her noble vows or embrace the unpredictability of her desires.

Caught between the looming threat of destruction and an undeniable, magnetic pull, Amma and Damien grapple with the possibility that their true destinies may be far more intertwined than they ever dared to imagine. In this high-stakes quest, the line between hero and villain blurs, leaving them to wonder if they are destined to save the world or burn it down together.

I’M BEGGING YOU TO READ THIS TRILOGY 🤍✨

"1000/1000 ⭐️ THIS BOOK GAVE ME EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR!!! Seriously, what does one have to do to read books like this on a daily basis?? 😔 Anyhow, the author really said, 'Let's do the same magic just like in the first book, but better' 😎. In book 2 everything is better, specially how the author gives depth to the characters, and now I feel like I know them by heart 🥹. It also gives us those flashes of romance here and there. Normally, enemies to lovers are only based on physical attraction, but with Amma and Damien I feel their chemistry, that they love each other for who they are 🤍. The fantasy world is very light, not heavy, and when you notice the pages have fly by! This time, I wasn't looking at the page number to see how much is LEFT, but to see how much REMAINS. I didn't want to put the book down; I wanted to keep reading, reading, and reading 🙃. This book, this series, is a hidden gem because, seriously, it's much better than the books that are recommended nowadays. And I'm happy that it stays that way because it's my little gem, although, of course, I would love more people to read this story. And if no one is going to make a fan club about this series then I will 😤. The romance is top tier 😩👌🏻. Damien and Amma said things to each other that... AHHHH. They had me screaming at my pillow and giggling, feet kicking the air 🤭. And those looks and little gestures they made to each other 😭. I want something like that too; I also want a villain, a lord of evil, to take me with him wherever he goes and fall in love with me 😮‍💨. I definitely think the magic of the books lies in the characters. And the author does very well in giving them the necessary background and depth to make them more special, memorable, especially Amma, well, also Damien; both carry questions with them, and you can see a change in both by the end. I can't wait to read the 3rd book! I have it at home; I just have to go get it 🏃🏻‍♀️✨. ["

Fun 2nd installment in the series

"“You came for me,” she whispered up against his mouth. His fingertips grazed her temple, smoothing away hair that had fallen in her face, and he pressed another kiss to her lips. “You called. How could I not?” Aww... This was lots of fun, but it was slightly less compelling than the first book in the series. I still very much enjoyed it though. ["

Slow burn romance. Forced Proximity. Grumpy x Sunshine.

"I truly adore this series so far. I loved the evolution between Damien and Amma as their journey continues. The banter is top notch and the yearning is so well done! We pick up right where the first book leaves off and get a good dose of Xander who you can’t help but love and hate( also the star of a spinoff). This book heavily featured growth relating to Amma and her magic while adventuring across the land and encountering wild and unique characters. The romance evolution always remains a main character, we get a touch more spice too but prepare for the slow burn to continue! You’ll notice that the plot is always there (and is good!) but the character growth and adventure they are on together is the real highlight of the series. ["

Loved it!!

"Oh, the middleness of things! I loved this book! It had none of the middle slump you sometimes see in a second book in a trilogy. It kept me on my toes the entire time, wanting to keep reading so I could see what shenanigans Amma and Damien would get up to. It was only the will-they-won’t-they and Damien’s new-found morality that was frustrating—but in a good way! I loved seeing Amma’s magic take hold, but the evil that’s coming is scary as hell. I can’t wait to see how this ends! ["
