And So The Breaking Begins: Mindbreaker Duet, Book 1 (An Age of War and Prophecy 3)
Lacey Lehotzky
by Alana Kay
Above the hungry crowd chanting for blood, I put my body on the line in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, it will be enough…
Welcome to the Mouth of Hell, where I'm training to defeat my past before it destroys my future. To beat my father and secure my freedom, I'll have to be stronger than I've ever been before. If fighting in the cage leaves me too bruised and exhausted to focus on my crumbling personal life, that's just a bonus.
Some truths hurt more than lies.
And I'm not the only one aching. Ciprian's a stranger. Alistair's losing it. Luca's walking on eggshells. And my ex is here, watching, judging, and stirring up things better left alone.
My control is slipping. My monsters won't be ignored.
Attraction is one thing, and loyalty is another. Staying alive and off the enclave's radar should be our only priorities, so why am I feeling things I'm scared to name? I can fight to the death and kill to protect, but I'm not sure I have what it takes to forgive and forget.
Shadow of Death is book two of the Radiant Legacy series—a paranormal romance featuring a strong FMC, protective MMCs, and a medium-burn, multi-POV story where the woman ends up with multiple love interests, some of whom also fall for each other.
Set in Alana Kay's Legacy Universe, this series overlaps chronologically with the Lost Legacy trilogy. While either series can be an entry point into the universe, listening to both will give you a richer look at the magical world they share.
You can expect: angels; demons; vampires; shifters; fae; witches; found family; forced proximity; fake dating; friends-to-lovers; emotional tension; steamy payoff; high-stakes supernatural conflict.
Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

I adored this book! The plot kept me guessing the whole way through, and there’s a lot of great character development that made me fall even more in love with them all! Especially Alistair - I loved getting to know him more. Each of the MCs feel like their own person with a distinct voice, which is hard to come by for this genre. And Celine remains the badass, hard exterior but soft hearted heroine I’m always looking for. It’s a must read! ) One person found this helpful

Holy hell that cliffhanger!! I can't wait for the audiobook of book 3 to know what happens next! 😍 If you read her other series called Lost Legacy then you will have more details about the action involving the enclave and the djinn but it is not necessary to understand this book. I personally binged her other series with the audiobooks and ebooks and loved it. However I like even more our FMC Celine since she is so damn bada$$!! I am so excited to know more about our new MMC (an angel) that...

This one really has me on the edge of my seat. I'm losing it for book three. I love all these guys. They're so compelling. Alistair will forever be my number one of course. Celine is an amazing FMC-I love that she's tough and take no prisoners but is still a decent person. I feel like it's going to get worse for them all before it gets better....but I don't want off the ride! )
