Forged in the Cursed Flames

Crown and Crest, Book 2

By: Shari L. Tapscott, Jake Andrews

Narrated by: Shakira Shute, Thomas Durham

Lady Clover’s life suddenly takes a turn for the worse when she’s framed for necromancy by Princess Camellia. She and the princess both know she’s not a dark magic user, but little good that does Clover when Camellia disappears.

The kingdom is in turmoil over the abduction of their beloved princess, and Clover is determined to find her way into the rescue party - even if Henrik, the most handsome commander in all Caldenbauer and the man of her reoccurring dreams, is in charge.

He suspects Clover’s guilty.

Clover thinks she should have pushed him into the troll pit when she had the chance.

Once again, they’re at odds, but they have no choice but to play nice if they want to find Camellia - especially when they discover their mission will take them into the heart of Ferradelle, the High Vale elves’ territory.

They’re going to need a guide. Thankfully, they know an elf who just might help them…for a price.

Forged in Cursed Flames is the second book in Crown and Crest, a connected fantasy romance series full of humor, adventure, and a good helping of epic action. The books are perfect for listeners who enjoy feisty main characters, handsome male leads, plenty of banter, and an enemies-to-lovers style romance.

How much do I love this book you ask?

I already bought and read this book 6 months ago on Kendall, and here I am buying it again. because yes, it is just that good.

The story line itself

I have listened and read 3 of your book in about a week. I had trouble putting my phone down. I love the story line, the characters, the humor, the twists/turns, and the relationships with love and heartaches. I enjoyed how you kept the love scenes clean. I caught how the territories were described similar to real life places. How the swamps of the High Veils (elves) were like the Louisiana swamps. Even how the animals and bugs descriptions were monsteric but i knew what that animal was.

Cliffhanger & worth it

I love how the characters are all growing in their own way. This book ends in a cliffhanger. The journey has been entertaining. It was worth the credit. It has a slow burn clean romance.

loved it!

what a fun story! I liked how the characters were not complete strangers at the beginning. Watching how they grew to care about one another was fun. The only problem is that I do not yet see a third audiobook so I will just have to go to the library to read the last one in this series.
