Fated Blades

By: Ilona Andrews

Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock

A USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

An uneasy alliance between warring families gets heated in this otherworldly novella from bestselling author Ilona Andrews.

At first glance, the planet Rada seems like a lush paradise. But the ruling families, all boasting genetically enhanced abilities, are in constant competition for power - and none more so than the Adlers and the Baenas. For generations, the powerful families have pushed and pulled each other in a dance for dominance.

Until a catastrophic betrayal from within changes everything.

Now, deadly, disciplined, and solitary leaders Ramona Adler and Matias Baena must put aside their enmity and work together in secret to prevent sinister forces from exploiting universe-altering technology. Expecting to suffer through their uneasy alliance, Ramona and Matias instead discover that they understand each other as no one in their families can - and that their combined skills may eclipse the risks of their forbidden alliance.

As the two warriors risk their lives to save their families, they must decide whether to resist or embrace the passion simmering between them. For now, the dance between their families continues - but just one misstep could spell the end of them both.

Critic reviews

“Fans of the Kinsmen series (Silent Blade; Silver Shark) will enjoy this third adventure.”—Library Journal

Good plot

I didn’t feel the relationship with the main characters. It seemed flat. The narrator didn’t help. Maybe a different narrator would have made a difference.

Loved it!

I love the Kinsmen world and this story did not disappoint.

One of my favorite things about Ilona Andrews’ books are the fight scenes, and of course, they were beautifully choreographed in this book.

I’ll hope for future stories in the Kinsmen Universe, but I can say without a doubt that I’ll read/listen to anything released by House Andrews.

I also enjoyed very much Aaron Shedlock’s narration.

Highly recommended audiobook!

I like the book

I like the narrator. I like the overall story. I like the world the story takes place in. I wish is was a series.

It was a nice short story

It was a nice short story. I have already read the book and now I wanted to revisit it. The narrator did a great job. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

good quick read

It has betrayal, secrets and enemies to lovers. What else could you want? A bit of futuristic science fiction....well it's got that too.
