Braided Fate Book 2: Captive Traitor King by Brigid Kemmerer

 

Braided Fate Book 2

Brigid Kemmerer returns with the sizzling, high-stakes sequel to the #1 international bestseller Warrior Princess Assassin—where the betrayals are deeper, the magic burns brighter, and love might be the most dangerous weapon of all.

CAPTIVE. Asher has always sworn loyalty to Jory, the princess he’s loved from afar—but now the King of Incendar has claimed a place in his heart too. Someone wants them both dead, and only Asher’s blade can keep them safe. Yet his past won’t let him go, and he must decide if he can break free—or remain prisoner to his old scars.

TRAITOR. Princess Jory of Astranza agreed to marry the King of Incendar to secure peace, but betrayal runs closer than she ever imagined. With her own brother unmasked as her enemy, two kingdoms teeter on the edge. To protect her people, she must take the throne. But there are still dark secrets to unravel that will force Jory to confront where her true allegiance lies.

KING. Maddox Kyronan has discovered trust—and something more—with his reluctant bride and her deadly protector, but the fragile alliance between their nations threatens to unravel. His people are starving. His enemies are circling in. Torn between the crown and his heart, Ky risks losing it all.

As buried truths surface and tensions reach a breaking point, Jory, Asher, and Ky must confront the desires that could save their kingdoms—or shatter them forever.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Jory and Asher are desperate to take action after everything they have learned so far. But taking action without a plan isn’t the greatest idea as they are reminded by Ky. The three of them have come along way since they met but there is still a lot of trust to be built. Someone wants them all dead, but figuring out who exactly is behind it all is coming with some complications. They’ll need to work together, learn to trust one another, and figure out how to save their kingdoms. Another book filled with revelations, yet many more questions than answers. We get some pretty great twists too! It’s definitely trick to explain all that is going on without spoilers, so you definitely don’t want to miss out on this newest book in the series! But I loved these three and the relationship they have with one another. It definitely grows stronger in this book between the three of them. It’s clear how much they care for one another and that the three of them being together is what they all want. It will only make them stronger in what is to come. And with that cliffhanger and a pretty big revelation? Well, I cannot wait to see what happens next! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
