About this listen

With her death foretold, Althea Zoltaire only has three years to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a warrior legend. Women are forbidden to wield blades, so she has trained in secret her entire life. Now racing against the clock, she fights to secure her place in the elite guild charged with the protection of the five kingdoms.

The sparring and hazing of the new trainees border on deadly, but even more dangerous is her growing attraction to Wilder Hawthorne, her unwilling warrior chaperone. All around them, schemes are afoot and darkness looms.

Will Althea pass the perilous initiation test and take her place as a champion of Thezmarr—or will the invading evil snatch away her dream before it starts?

Blood & Steel is the gripping first book in the heart-pounding, epic romantic fantasy series, The Legends of Thezmarr.

Rushing to book 2! I love all the characters that are very well written. Both MMC and FMC are very likable and I care about what happens to them.(unlike in SJM series)

The only snag is I don’t understand why the male narrator doesn’t do Wilder’s lines throughout and not just his POV.

Having said that Molly Stark is excellent, better than the male narrator

What a feat, the story!!

I devoured this book in two days, couldn't put it down. Some people have said it's a slow burn but I found it to be relatively fast paced

Loved it

I enjoyed this , well produced , well written. I just found it a little slow to start. but other than that, great story line, with hopefully more spice in the next book.

Wasn’t 100% sure on voices but grew on me and worked for the characters.
Great story so far and onto the next book, I can usually guess what’s going to happen in books but honestly not sure with this one which I love.

Great story and kept me guessing

I felt the story was slow in the beginning and almost gave up, but am so glad I persevered. The relationships are gradually built up and feel real, can’t wait for the bully to get comeuppance. The secondary characters contribute to the world building, there are definitely some I want to see brought down a peg or two and some whose story bears more telling, still some secrets there. You know from the beginning that Wren and Althea are orphans and that they will turn out to be “special”, that doesn’t detract from the tale. Looking forward to Book 2 and the continuing journey of discovery and romance.
