About this listen

Guardian of the Drowned Empire is the second book in a sensational romantic series. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Danielle L. Jensen, and Rebecca Yarros.

Loyalty will be tested. Lines will be crossed. Ancient promises will be reforged.

Lyr has only three months to prepare for a test that will decide her fate. Despite Rhyan's promise of additional training, her life has never been in more danger, and her enemies inch closer every day.

Staying safe means more time under Rhyan's protection. But the closer they become, the more their desire ignites, and the harder it becomes to resist temptation. Secrets can only remain hidden for so long.

As new threats arrive at the Bamarian border, Lyr delves deeper into solving the mystery of her power. But revealing these secrets and surviving the Emperor's test may cost Lyr more than she can bargain for.

And most dangerous of all: as passion burns, oaths will be broken.

A LUSH ROMANTASY, INSPIRED BY CLEOPATRA AND FEATURING A HIGH-STAKES MILITARY ACADEMY AND DEADLY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE.

'One fantastical world. One fierce heroine to take it down! Daughter of the Drowned Empire is sexy, thrilling, and pure magic!' Cecy Robson, author of Bloodguard

Excellent

4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This second instalment strikes the perfect mix of plot, action, character growth, and romance. I’m really loving Frankie’s storytelling; the world is so captivating and a pleasure to dive into.

The world-building is great, the characters are incredibly well-crafted, the lore is super intriguing, and the tension woven throughout the book is just delicious 😋

In this instalment, we see Lyr grow stronger, not just in her physical abilities but also mentally, thanks to Rhyan's support. She’s juggling her warrior training to pass the Emperor's test while sacrificing her own health to protect her sisters and keep their secret safe.
Rhyan was gorgeous as usual, I'm glad to see we aren't dragging out hiding their feelings ( even tho they can't quite be together yet)

We finally get some major revelations that both previous books have been hinting at, but it also opens up a ton of questions for the next books. Those twists really shake things up, and I’m left wondering how Lyr is going to cope with everything that unfolds towards the end... Everything just feels so impossible right now. I AM STRESSED 😰😰😰

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
