Promise of Freedom, Chained by Duty
Oliver Autumnsworn has danced along the razor's edge of danger his entire life, slipping through the shadows with the agility of a ghost. Whether as a mischievous cabin boy, a fearsome pirate captain, or a notorious international thief, he has embraced a world of crime. But now, one last heist promises him the ultimate freedom from a lifetime of darkness. His task? To snatch an unlisted artifact from a high-stakes auction.
Enter Maizie Galanos, the sharp-witted Interpol Agent known for her relentless pursuit of justice. Overlooked for accolades and promotions, she has devoted her career to unraveling the elusive patterns of one thief in Oliver Autumnsworn. At last, she has him within reach-only for him to execute a breathtaking heist, spiriting away an artifact of unimaginable power.
Unbeknownst to both, this artifact is coveted not just by Oliver's enigmatic employer but also by celestial beings seeking to reclaim their lost dominion. Suddenly, Oliver and Maizie are thrust into a hidden realm of divine intrigue, forced to flee from angels who would devastate humanity if the artifact falls into their hands. Together, they must race against time to return the artifact, navigating a treacherous path to prevent an apocalyptic clash between Heaven and Earth.

I really wanted to love this book. But it was too slow moving for me and the characters didn’t wow me. It was just okay and probably won’t read any others in the series unfortunately.

4.5 stars rounded up
This novel had all of my favorite elements: slow-burning/enemies-to-lovers romance, fantastical features (i.e., angels, pirates, magic, etc.), and multidimensional main characters. I loved following the FMC and MMC on their journeys for redemption and growth. I absolutely cannot wait for the second book to come out to see where these two go next. The cliffhanger was diabolical, so I am not sleeping until the next book is out.
Thank you so much for the ARC Copy
