House of War and Bone

By: Leia Stone

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen, Brent Bailey

The only guy in the world who could kiss me was about to become the one thing he despised. A Nightling. And it was all my fault.

Fallon Bane thought that being cursed to feel pain every time she was touched was the worst thing that would ever happen to her.
She was wrong.

The worst thing was finding and falling for Ariyon—the only person in the realm who could touch her—only to accidentally trap him in the land of souls and swap powers with him.
Now she must act as Maven healer to Queen Solana while trying to figure out how to sneak into the Realm of Eternity to save Ariyon.

She drove me crazy, in both good and bad ways, and all I wanted to do was finally kiss her, hold her, feel her body relax into mine like it’d found its missing other half.

Aryion Madden had enough to deal with: heir to the throne, Maven healing powers that meant he would die young, and orphaned by Marissa Bane. Then, he met Marissa’s daughter and fell in love, upending everything he thought he knew.
Now, he has to fight for his life—and maybe his afterlife—against the undead using Fallon’s dark magic.

And if that’s not enough to worry about, all the while, the prophesied Nightling war is approaching.

love the characters and learning more of the backstory of how things 'came to be' within the different plot lines.

I don't like the abrupt endings. But, overall I really enjoyed the audiobook! I am excited to start the next book in the series... I've blown through the first 2 so quickly... I hope there's a lot more! Thank you!

Emotionally Intriguing

Great narration. This series! Just wow! So many emotions! So much turmoil! Everything I love in a fantasy book.

Excellent book!

Excellent book in this series! This is the 2nd book of 3 and it is excellent. The story is very engaging and the plot is well written. I love the continued development of the characters! I honestly can't wait to see how everything gets wrapped up in the final book. I have a few things I'm hoping will happen so we shall see. I also must say that the narrators did an excellent job. Now I'm starting the last book! I hope the series ends as good as it has been so far.

Great book

Great book. I Can’t wait for the next one. Great mystery, romance and friendship. All in all it’s good

We finally begin to learn Fallon's story...

4.25 Stars 🌟

This is the second book in this series and it really is a pretty fast and easy read. I listened to most of this on audio and had no issues with the narration.

In the last book, everything ended with Fallon Bane accidentally trading powers with Ariyon and leaving his body in the land of the souls. This book mainly deals with her trying to correct that.

We do learn more information this time around. More about Fallon's mother and grandmother and at the end, who her father is. We get to see her mother Marissa in all of her awful glory (she really is terrible).

This is an interesting book about a girl born under a curse - a curse that doesn't allow ANYONE to touch her. At all. Even the slightest touch causes her great pain. What an awful curse. How awful to have never received a hug or a simple touch. What is even more interesting is in who is given the ability to supersede that curse....and why.

Interesting....
