About this book
Prince Owen Sterling is the stoic, duty-bound commander of the Ignis Guard, born with the fire of his royal lineage running through his veins. When a forbidden prophecy vanishes from the impenetrable Royal Archives of Emberlyn, Owen leads a perilous mission to recover it. What he expects is a hunt for a shadow beast; what he finds is a mysterious, sharp-tongued woman left for dead in the wake of an attack.
Their encounter sparks a volatile enemies-to-lovers dynamic that crackles with more intensity than Owen’s own flames. As they traverse the treacherous Dark Border, the lines between ally and enemy blur, forcing the prince to question his ironclad loyalties and the secrets hidden within his own kingdom. The woman he saved may be the key to survival, or the catalyst for a royal downfall.
Blending high-stakes political intrigue with the primal intensity of shifter lore, this debut is a must-read for fans of immersive world-building and slow-burn romance. With unexpected twists that demand a second read, the story offers an addictive journey where no one is who they seem. Prepare to be consumed by the secrets smoldering beneath the burning throne.

I have got to say, this book was incredible. I loved the story, the characters, the world building, the twists and turns. I literally had to re-read several times just to make sure I read the scene correctly 😂 As someone who mostly reads fantasy, this is refreshingly new and original. I definitely recommend it to all of you fantasy readers you won't regret it. We follow our MMC, Prince Owen, who is haunted by his past. He and his group are sent to go out and hunt these monsters that cause...

4⭐️ Beneath the Burning Throne is an epic romantasy debut that almost from the get go had me questioning everything and trusting no one. There were many unusual aspects to this story when compared to the storylines typical of this genre. First, this book is largely told from the male POV, which I found to be a breath of fresh air, especially since Owen is a brave, loyal and emotionally intelligent character. Second, this book uses timeline jumps to disorient the reader as a way to keep them...

This book had me in its grasp from the very first chapter. I literally did not want to put this book down. The Ignis guard, who’s leader is Prince Owen go on a journey from the palace, after a prophecy goes missing. They run into a shadow beast called Obscurem (who I picture as Lickers from Resident Evil 😂), but that’s beside the point. One of those creatures comes at them and afterwards they find a woman. At first they just call the woman “Her”, because she can’t remember anything. Owen is...

I was super fortunate to have received an ARC of Beneath the Burning Throne by Robyn Jones! Thank you, Robyn, for giving me this opportunity! I thoroughly enjoyed BBT and cannot wait to read the next book! My Review: Beneath the Burning Throne delivers an emotionally gripping fantasy that leans into darker themes without losing its sense of purpose and momentum. I was hooked from beginning to end. While the story features exceptional character development, it also establishes a haunting...

This book had me hooked from page one. I believe this is a debut novel from the author and I can 100% say this is the best debut novel I've read so far - to the point I didn't even know it was her first until I read the About the Author at the end. To me it was so well written and thought out! The banter and individual character personalities were so well described and unique to each piece of this found family, and I felt Robyn kept their attitudes and responses so consistent in their...
