Cruel Fates Duet Book 2

Alira is learning about her new home beyond the veil. Nothing is as she was expecting, but they do have some odd rules, like don’t pick the flowers. But Kalel seems to be hiding things from her. The war is over, so why is the king calling Kalel to the castle all the time? Though he would burn everything down to protect her, he still wants his people protected and will put them before her. Will they get their happily ever after, or will their secrets tear them apart?

This is the second book in the Cruel Fates Duet. Alira is learning to have a quiet life, but still is who she is and sees more than the demons want her to. Kalel is warring with himself, trying to keep both Alira and his people safe. The two of them together have great chemistry. This book again goes back and forth between Alira and Kalel, the flow is just as good as the first book. We get to see a little more of the world by getting to see beyond the veil, and it’s even more magical. The story keeps you turning the pages to see what will happen next. I loved reading this book and will be looking out for more from K. M. Moronova.

“The war was supposed to end with their wedding.

Alira made her choice. She married the Blood Knight to end the war that had ravaged their kingdoms only to fall irrevocably in love with her once-sworn enemy. Now, living in Devicit as his wife, she is determined to prove that peace between demigods and demons is possible.

But something beneath the surface of their paradise feels wrong.

The veil protecting the demon kingdom shimmers with secrets. The gods are restless. And beyond the veil, old enemies have not laid down their swords.

Kalel would burn the world down to protect his bride, but the past he buried in blood refuses to stay silent. As suspicion creeps into their marriage and the threat of war closes in on Devicit, Alira and Kalel find themselves caught between devotion and doubt―between the kingdoms they were born to defend and the love they chose for themselves.

Together, they must confront the truths that could shatter everything they've built. Because peace is never freely given. And the gods are not finished with them yet.”
