About this listen

 From Kate Golden, author of the instant bestseller and viral phenomenon A Dawn of Onyx, comes the next seductive, sweeping, action-packed installment in her addictive Sacred Stones trilogy.

A prophecy of death. A weapon of hope. A sacrifice of love.

Arwen Valondale is sailing for the mysterious Kingdom of Citrine after the battle of Siren's Bay. Reeling from shocking revelations and her newfound powers, Arwen directs all of her pain and rage toward the man who betrayed her: King Kane Ravenwood.

Kane's presence is unavoidable as he travels with Arwen and her friends to seek the Blade of the Sun, a legendary weapon inextricably tied to her fate and the future of the realm. Even an uneasy truce proves difficult as Arwen fights against her unresolved feelings for Kane, who is willing to become darkness itself to protect her.

As Arwen faces creatures, foes, and magic beyond her wildest imaginings, she must discover the secrets of her past to defeat the monstrous Fae king Lazarus. But finding the light within might mean the death of her and everyone she loves.

Critic reviews

A Promise of Peridot is fast-paced, fantastical, and fun. The second novel in this thrilling romantasy saga leaves you just as breathless as the first, and just as hungry for more. Truly, The Sacred Stones saga is first class storytelling
Kate Golden continues to delight with A Promise of Peridot, a magnificent, action-packed fantasy that had me feeling all the feels. With adventure, romance, and a uniquely enchanting world, it's the perfect romantasy! I had such a great time reading it and am absolutely on tenterhooks for book three!
I am so happy that I have a copy of it . . . Add it to your TBR if you love romantasy
A Dawn of Onyx is fun romantasy deliciousness, complete with magic, Fae, dragons, empire-shaking secrets, and a sultry, wicked king. Arwen is an appealing heroine-determined, optimistic, and empathetic, she struggles between her longing for home and the desire to spread her wings and learn more about the world. Her interactions with Kane are spiced with tension and banter, and I can't wait to see more of this combustible pairing in the next books
A fantastic romantasy with dynamic characters, immersive world-building, and a super swoon-worthy romance

I do like the story, but I do wish it was better. There was a bit more spice, a lot of moaning about everything and I am not sure who is truly trustworthy. Noone is really punished for being deceitful. A few of the scenes towards the end could have been more dangerous/interesting/ fun but all in all I am hoping it will all be tied up in the next book.

I’m sorry… what in the cliff hanger was that ending?!

This was a cracking sequel to book one and I loved the growth of Arwen’s character. Her struggle with her fate and then taking back her life was surprisingly relatable (in a mental health kind of way). The pining from Kane was edible and I LOVED having the dual POV.

The quest aspect of this book really kept me gripped and wondering what was going to happen next. Honestly I have no idea where we’re going to go from here with this next book but I am so ready for the ride.

Kate has a lovely writing style and her story telling is absolutely top notch! This series is a MUST for any Romantasy lovers out there.

Broody and magical

This was so much better than book 1! More character development & Arwen wasn’t as annoying . I’m also rooting for their relationship now!! Very much looking forward to book 3.

A much better second instalment

I'm going to start by saying I can not believe where this has finished. I now need to wait for the next book to come out. Only a couple of months. I love the way arwen and kanes' story has played out in this one.he falls first. Takes her long to realise. She hates him for keeping secrets. He keeps them to protect her. They fight together and with each other. The tension between them is spot on. Then, when the spice comes in, omg.

I couldn't put this book down every chance I got. I was either reading it or listening to it on audible. I just couldn't.

I can't wait to see what happens in this next book from the ending in this one. I'm rooting for kane to get it together and pull through. The magic system that works in the book is different slightly to what I have read before, but I love the way it work.

Both audible and the book are amazing. Must read in my opinion. If you haven't already please read these books they are amazing.
