Jannus the Halfling is everything a Nephilim shouldn’t be—golden-haired, charming, and a collector of feminine smiles. As the last living descendent of the only pure Nephilim Pair, he’s powerful enough to claim the empty throne. Instead, he crosses into Fetch lands to bring Melek back to seize the crown.
But Melek’s reappearance isn't trusted by all. As the Nephilim descend into civil war, Jann is saved in battle by Diadre—the infuriating, sharp-tongued Captain of the Shadekin assassins—and finds himself reluctantly beholden to a life-debt.
Diadre has spent her life proving she’s just as deadly as any man. The last thing she needs is a cocky, silver-tongued Nephilim shadowing her every move. Yet when she touches him, something divine crackles between them...
Buried in this mission to help Melek and Yilan establish the Nephilim throne, Jann refuses to claim the matebond. His bloodline is every Nephilim like him died before their child reached five years old. If he loves Diadre, if they have a child, his fate is sealed.
But when the Nephilim around him decide if Jann doesn't want her they're happy to take her, Jann will have to defy his curse, his people, and the Fallen themselves to keep her safe. Even if it kills him.
Dive into the next thrilling volume of The Kingdom of the Krow series, where enemies become lovers, curses clash with divine will, and a Halfling must decide if love is worth dying for.

🗡 Fated Mates 🗡 Enemies-to-lovers 🗡 Spy Couple! 🗡 Touch her and 💀 Spice: 🌶🌶🌶 Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 3 in the Kingdom of the Krow series
No! How can this book end there?! We have been leading up to this moment for the whole series and now I cannot wait for book 4.
I love Dee and Jann, they have such good banter and she does not let an opportunity to rile him up pass her by. When she discovers that he's tickelish and mocks him for an "uncontrolled wing moment" 😂
She is his only safe space where he doesn't have to be the General of Melek's army and can be vulnerable and playful. He in turn is the one man who she doesnt have to make herself smaller for. He encourages her to own her strength and skill as a warrior and leader; even if it terrifies him to watch her do it.
It’s getting so good. Love how Jann & Diadre got their story… definitely worth the read. Another great installment to this series! That ending though?!?! I can not wait tone what happens.
I was so hoping for this particular story to happen! And it did not disappoint. Now to wait for the grand finale to see how all of this comes together ❤️
This is hard to rate, I nearly DNF at halfway through and had to take a break for a few months before coming back to it. I was excited to follow these characters as based on the previous book it seemed like they would have great chemistry and banter. They did not. Half the book was them fighting repetitive arguments about the same issues, and it got so dull. The plot was lacking, there wasn’t much progress until near the end and there still wasn’t a lot. I love how descriptive and romantic the writing is, which is why I give 2 stars instead of 1, but this book was just not as good as I had hoped for.
