About this book
A duty-bound prince of flame. A woman shrouded in secrets. And an enemy, deep in the shadows…
When a dark prophecy is stolen from the impenetrable Royal Archives of Emberlyn, Owen Sterling—Prince and Commander of the Ignis Guard—is dispatched with his team to retrieve it. They soon discover the thief is an Obscurem, one of the vicious shadow beasts that have plagued the kingdom for centuries. But how could a creature with such mindless, violent instincts breach their wards?
As they hunt the beast, Owen and his guard stumble upon a woman, battered and left for dead in the wake of an Obscurem attack. She’s secretive and scared, with a sharp tongue, and Owen finds himself drawn to her despite his better judgement.
But as the trail to their prey becomes ever more treacherous, they realize that the growing number of Obscurem crossing the Dark Border may not be the only threat to the kingdom…
Beneath the Burning Throne is the first book in the Kingdom of Shadows romantasy series.

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 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...
