The Bonds that Break Us

By: Erin Mainord

Narrated by: Jacci Prior, James Cavenaugh

She wants revenge. He wants her.

After learning of Sin's dark deceptions, Wren travels to The Feral Vale, where she is introduced to therustic land of the elves. She vows to protect her family at all expense, even if that means keeping the Black Art's treacherous secret.

When a realm divided draws the unwanted attention of a neighboring king, Wren and the elves mustresort to clever schemes to gain leverage in the impending war. Wren and her family are determined to lay low—a challenging feat when the entire kingdom guard is searching for the "white-haired witch."

She longs to forget the betrayal that drove her here. More so, she longs to forget him, but when circumstance thrusts them together, the result is nothing short of incendiary.

As motives come to light, Wren isn't sure who she can rely on, but one fact becomes startling, andinfuriatingly, clear: Wren and Sin must combine forces if any of them has a hope to survive the disconcerting conflict ahead. With past hurts challenging them at every step, the road ahead is punishing.

War is brutal, but nothing is more maiming than furious love.

Love it

Fantastic performances by the audio performers. Story was great! Can’t wait for the next book

OBSESSED!

These narrators are PERFECTION as Wren & Sin! I truly don’t believe anyone else could do them the justice! They take this gripping story to soaring heights!

For the love of all things holy, this was so incredible! Like in book one, the world building, magic, political strategies, & character development is fantastic! Erin Mainord has quickly become a favorite fantasy/romantasy author of mine!

This one continues from where book 1 ended, with Wren & Sin going from enemies to lovers to enemies once again after that gut wrenching cliffhanger of an ending! It has Wren & her family with the elves & Wren wanting vengeance on the Black Art. Now I’m not going to spoil the story/details about how they are reconnected, but the slow burn between them is delicious! Also, Sin’s growth, accountability, & his devotion to Wren is *chef’s kiss*! Wren’s development is also so good, I truly love her & her bad bitch self! Their push & pull, angst, tension, & their insane chemistry is one of my favorite things about this series & I can’t wait to see how it continues to get even better in book 3!

This one doesn’t have quite the huge cliffhanger that book 1 did (praise! 🤣), but it has left me anxiously awaiting the 3rd book because I need their story to continue ASAP!

Okay I this one has me running to book three. I read this prior to the third book being on audio so I’m doing a relisten and headed to book three and just can’t even believe how good these were even on the second time through.

Incredible performance!!

The narrators killed it!! They were fantastic! This duet narration was the perfect choice for this book and I am SO excited to listen to the next one too!

The story was incredible and the ending has me dying for the next book!! I absolutely love this author and her writing 💕

Amazing Duet!

The Bonds That Break Us is everything I could ever want in a romantasy sequel-darker, steamier, and even more emotionally intense than the first book. Erin Mainord delivers a pulse-pounding, heart-wrenching continuation that grips you from page one and never lets go.

Wren and Singard's dynamic is absolute perfection-their chemistry is a deliciously volatile mix of tension, passion, and raw emotion. A true enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies steamy fantasy! Jacci Prior and James Cavenaugh bring this dynamic to life with stunning duet narration, making every moment feel raw and immersive.

The worldbuilding is lush, the action relentless, and the betrayals cut deep. And that ending?! Erin Mainord is cruel in the best way possible.

If you thought the first book was intense, this one will ruin you—in the best way. An absolute must-listen for fans of dark, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. Unforgettable, addictive, and utterly devastating. I’m desperate for book three!
