Now known as the Slayer of Witches, Silas wages a brutal campaign against Magekind. But during a raid on a Mage village, he finds Lena alive, hiding a secret darker than she is a Mage herself. Torn between fury and forbidden desire, Silas can't help but show mercy when faced with the eyes of his lost love.

Amid a Kingdom on the brink of war, with no one else to turn to, the pair form a fragile alliance to to topple the tyrant King of Otacia - Silas' own father, Ulric La-Rune. Yet another shadow looms, a rising necromancer is beginning to terrorise the land they once called home.

Forced to hide their past, every stolen glance reignites a fire they cannot tame. As rebellion ignites and old loyalties fray, Silas can't decide what will destroy him her lies or his sins...

I did my reread with the audio and it was just as good!! So emotional with such a fun and twisty plot. I LOVEEEEE this book!!!!

[Lisa C22 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'd give this more than 5 ⭐'s if I could, as I've mentioned in previous reviews for Lies of Lena, I can't put my finger on why I love these books so much but I do, the fantasy story is great but the characters and relationships just captivate me, and it isn't just the main characters, I've read and listened to the first two books and I'm sure I'll go back time and time again, I can't wait for the next book! also on audio, both narrators are great but Kieran Regan is one of those narrators that provokes even more emotion,

Ughhhhh. Why??? This was so stupid. She genuinely ruined what she had going in book 1. I’m so annoyed. Like why even have the “soul ties” concept if your FMC is going to hook up with literallllyyyyyyyy every single man in the book? I can’t even fathom why the author gave up on a solid story and just went straight smut. UGH.

[Yasmin Mohamed · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was not prepared for the emotional destruction this book would give me. I thought Book 1 was intense. No. Not even close.
Book 2 just completely wrecked me AND it ended on a cliffhanger. When does book 3 come out????? I NEED it!!!!!!

[Anne Wollstein · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is so devastating and good. My heart hurts. It’s so easy to get attached to these characters by the way this book is written. If you read this series just get ready for your heart to break. Can’t wait to see how Lena’s story ends in the next book.

[Kristy Rodriguez · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I could rate it a 10 I would!!! This is my second time reading this amazing story! Kylie is a genius!!! I could reread this series over and over and never grow bored!!!

[Kirsten Jansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolute BANGER. Silas… yes please. This series is one of my favorites out there. The writing is so good. The story/plot so good. The spice in this was a little more spicier than usual! I’m all in

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

While it was a smidge predictable at times, the emotional impact was major. That end though?! Why?!?! I need book 3 now!!!

[Becca · Rating 5 out of 5]

UGH the audio turned out SO good for this!! This is still a 6⭐️ read for me 1 year later. I’ve read/ listened to this story 3 times now and it’s never changed. I love these characters so much. 😩

Well shit, I’m definitely going to have a reading slump after this. I can feel the hangover starting now. I cannot wait for the next one!
