Yep, that means giveaway time!
The talented and extremely kind K.L. Bone has offered up two, yes TWO, Audible codes for the first book in her Black Rose series - Black Rose. (Oh heavens is this book amazing!)
This is a darker fantasy series. There is blood, as I do like my fantasy with fight. I fell for Mara and Edward and their love for each other and I think you will too. The world has magic in it as well, in the special roses. So neat! Each book these roses bloom more and more for us, showing the power they have.
Let me share the book cover and description for you:
Black Rose“May the Black Rose protect you in life and avenge you in death.” – Vow of the Black Rose
Six hundred years ago, the Muir Court was wiped from existence, destroyed by an elite group known as the Black Rose Guard. Their Captain, Mara, has a reputation of being a harsh woman who leads the guard with a fierce formality. During her long years, she has known pain, loss, heartache…and one great love.
Edward was the Captain of the Royal Guard of the Ciar Court. He loved her once. However, it was a love that faded the day he met young Liza, the Princess who stole the heart he had once sworn belonged to Mara alone. Liza was also the woman Mara was fated to protect. When the Queen learns of her daughter’s forbidden love for Edward, she devises a series of punishments, torturing Edward while her daughter is forced to watch. In a an act of desperation, Mara takes Liza’s place and looks on helplessly as Edward endures torments which break his body and Mara’s soul.
All of their pain is put aside when Liza is murdered by the rulers of a rival court. Haunted by her failure to protect the Princess and adhering to tradition, Mara takes the vow of the ‘Black Rose.’ It is an ancient oath which compels those under its power to abandon the lives they knew for the sake of a single goal: vengeance. Her quest leads her on a dark path of violence, rage, and bloodshed.
Tormented by a fate they can neither accept nor escape, Black Rose is a tale of retribution, love, and above all, honor—at any cost.
Sounds like an amazing fantasy story, right! You can win one of two Audible codes to listen to it!
