BOOK SUMMARY:
Their destinies are irrevocably entangled, but will their bond be the realm’s undoing?
Damien and Amma have landed themselves in the midst of Yvlcon, the preeminent congregation of the vilest and most unscrupulous villains in existence. Once again amongst his peers, Damien’s moral growth is threatened just when he’s learning to be slightly less evil. Consequently, Amma finds her own virtue in peril when faced with so much temptation, namely in the form of a domineering blood mage she can’t—or doesn’t want—to say no to.
But a burgeoning romance is doused in the coldest of baths when the Grand Order of Dread commands Damien to once again face the swirling vortex of entropy that’s been hunting them all over the realm. The coming eclipse points to devastation and destruction, and there seems to be no avoiding annihilation, prophecy being, well, prophecy, after all.
But there’s an entire fortnight before the world is supposed to end, and surely that’s enough time to find some way around it, or to at least confess one’s devotion to the other before it all burns down around them.
GOOD CONCLUSION.
I’ve enjoyed this trilogy! It was fun to be in a fantasy world with so many quirks. It’s humorous and cheeky and just worked well for me. I loved the chemistry between Damien and Amma. The fact we got a genuine slow burn across these three books was something I’ve been missing in 2025 romantasy books. The audiobook is also great and I recommend that format!
I don’t want to go into too much detail since this is the last book so TL;DR it’s a good story. The world was expanded well and the magic system made sense. I loved the backstory on the leads and the found family created along the way.
