Beyond the Winter Kingdom: A Fae Romantasy

Faeted Seasons, Book 2

By: Aurelia Jane, Kel Carpenter

Narrated by: Scott Rose, Savannah Gilmore

Faerie was a nightmare—twice kidnapped, magically bound, and held captive by my fated mate. But Eversus? That’s where the real party starts. And yes, I RSVP’d like an idiot.

Sadie’s gone. Vanished without a trace. And the only lead we have points to a realm no sane person dares to enter: a pit of smoke and ash, ruled by demons and forgotten gods. A place no fae survives.

Eversus.

Vareck—the fierce, brooding King of Faerie—is determined to be my plus one into the twin hells. He says we’re bonded. That I belong to him.

But I didn’t ask for a mate. And I had no intention of catching feelings in the middle of a hellscape.

Together, we’ll brave the realm of monsters to bring my sister home. But the deeper we go, the more I wonder if I'm the one who won’t make it back.

When a world fights to devour us, his voice is the thread I hold on to.

Because some bonds burn brighter in the dark.

And it turns out, some monsters aren’t left behind—they come with you.

*Beyond the Winter Kingdom is sarcastically funny, fantasy romance novel with steam. This is book two in the Faeted Seasons: Winter trilogy.*

Fantastic performance of a engaging book

I loved the duet performance it made the story come alive! The story captivated my attention with exquisite details and well developed characters. I am excited to find out what happens in the final book and I highly recommend this series especially as an audiobook.

cliffhanger ending

I enjoyed parts of this book. it was a bit slow at times and the ending was a brutal cliffhanger ending.

A hilarious sequel

This was such a fun listen. Exactly what I would expect from a Kel and Aurelia book.
Great characters, ridiculous familiars and friendships, hilarious banter, and super hot spicy scenes🥵

This picked right up where book 1 left us. Going through a portal to Hell, lol.
Varek and Meera are trekking through hell, frustrated with themselves and each other, searching for Sadie…
Which makes for a great time, lol.
I laughed so much through this book, as usual.

“Ok now I’m really creeped out.” M

“You should be, that one looked at you like it’s already read your obituary.” V
😂🤣😂
This was definitely the 2nd book I the series.
Lots of shenanigans, fun and emotional trials with zero closure, lol. They really left us in some shit,
I need the next book yesterday, lol.
If you haven’t read Behind the Cursed Veil, start there, then come read this one. You’ve got a few months before book 3 is released!

Funny and Chaotic

Thank you to the authors for a copy of this audiobook.

I enjoyed the duet narration with Scott Rose and Savannah Gilmore.

Beyond the Winter Kingdom leans hard into what makes this series fun for me: sharp humor, chaotic danger, and relationships that refuse to be simple. Faerie was already a mess, but throwing Meera and Vareck into Eversus (the literal hell realm) raises the stakes.

We get to learn more about the side characters in this book, including Sadie and Damon, I loved getting more depth with them. And Corvo. Always Corvo. He always steals the show (he's a cat-god, if course he does).

I am so ready for the final book in the trilogy!

Another USELESS PATHETIC FMC! Blah!

What in the everlasting crap makes you authors think that the idea of these AHmayzing males being paired up with these naggy, whiny, useless, pathetic, hot-to-cold jackass females is ROMANTIC! This chick is garbage! I was hoping you’d end her and write in a better character for Vareck.
