This week, I am focusing on one of my favorite romantasy series to date and that is the Blood of the Covenants by Leah E. Welker. More specifically, the third book Dragon’s Tear.
Synopsis
Two hearts, one tear. . . .
Sarah Lind has discovered over half of the moongates hidden across the Six Realms that she will need to return to Earth. Not only that, the dragon-shifter Heir of Flame cares for her, and the magical bond forged between them grows stronger by the day.
Yet Sarah’s choice of whether to embrace her destiny is still far from simple, especially with the rising movement calling Sarah the long-promised Moondaughter, crushing her with the weight of their hopes, and the Tree’s injunction that the future Queen of Ice must marry the future King of Flame.
Sarah loves Ben . . . but does she have the courage to become his Queen?
Koriben Sunfilled can hardly believe that Sarah wants him. With their goal just within reach, and the promised cure for his dying father that much closer, for a moment he soars higher than ever before.
Yet when someone he once trusted strikes again, this time endangering both him and his cousin, he isn’t sure how to keep going, let alone bear the fear of losing Sarah too. But with another now vying for Sarah’s heart, he just might lose her in another way.
Ben loves Sarah . . . but does he have the strength to let her love him in return?
With only four days left before the Devourer’s invasion, neither of them have much time to find the answers. Yet if they don’t . .
. . . the darkness could tear them apart.
Why This Book?
As mentioned, this series has blown me away up to this point, so it only makes sense to continue and finish all the books at some point. The fantasy elements are quite heavy, the world building is amazing and the romance has been clean, just how I like it! I will link my reviews to the first two book down below:
This is the first series so far in which both of the books have gotten 5-stars from me, so I am hoping Dragon’s Tear continues that pattern. Also, the boxed sets for the whole series are now available on Kindle Unlimited! This is exciting since I did choose to purchase the second one before it was available, so now I can save a bit of money since these are more hefty books for sure.
Updates
For the book Crimson Leaves, I am about 21% through. I am finding the story quite interesting with all the different POVs within the book (there are 5 currently). This is quite different than the typical 2 I read so it did take a bit to get used to. This is quite a longer book than what I am used to as well, so it is going to take me a bit longer to get through it.
I decided to drop Tokyo Ever After once I hit 60-something% through the audiobook. If you want to read more into why I dropped it, I will link my DNF post down below:
I am looking for another audiobook to dive into so I should be starting another one sometime this week.
