One ignites her body. One claims her soul. One owns her heart. And one just betrayed her.
Tierney survived the first trials. She discovered a mate bond, kissed an assassin who should have killed her, and learned her power could reshape the world.
Then someone she loved sold her to the enemy.
Now she's facing an ancient king who's hunted her bloodline for centuries. He knows what she is. He'll break her to control it.
Her men will tear apart kingdoms to save her. But even if they rescue her body, can they salvage her heart?
Some betrayals are unforgivable. Others are just the beginning.
Forged in Fury is book two in the A Court of Monsters trilogy. Scorching heat, gut-wrenching betrayal, and a cliffhanger.
why choose, hurt/comfort, protector romance, "burn the world for her"
Pg 22 — I don’t mind the circling back to share different perspectives, but it feels odd when events change between loops. Where is the fire from the end of the last book?
Pg 29 — Is he making the same realization over & over?
Pg 29 — 3 men around her. The 4th having nearly died. The editing errors are getting worse.
Pg 31 — Seriously suspecting these books were written by or with AI.
Pg 32 — abandoned
Did some “research” on AI books. * Commonly the covers are AI — check * Often the whole “series” is released on the same day — check * The author doesn’t have a real social media presence — check * They often “squat” on legitimate author’s names — check — in this case there is a legit “Jessie Donovan” who writes about dragons
Really disappointed. AI works should be clearly labeled as such.
06/08/2026 Also occurred to me: no dedication, no author’s notes, no bio, nothing “personal”.
I noticed in this book and the previous that there are a LOT of continuity issues. Things happen, then several chapters later happen again for the first time. Things seem to happen out of order. I really like the plot, the characters are interesting, and the writing is really good, but I think the author needs to sit down and read their books cover to cover. They’ll immediately see what I’m talking about.
