In the third installment of the Venators series, Rune, Grey, and their companions Beltran and Verida have set off together to save their mentor Tate from the gladiator games. As their group struggles to stay together under the strain of their situation, Rune’s twin brother Ryker is falling more surely into the clutches of Zio the sorceress, who has her own plots for the future of Eon, and the Venators.
The path will be forged in sweat and blood.
Rune, Grey, the shape-shifter Beltran, and willful vampire, Verida, set out to rescue their friend and mentor, Tate, from the gladiator games. But first they must navigate the perils of Eon and its warring factions. Each of this band of four carries with them a secret that threatens to tear their group apart from within. Rune now bears the mark of the promise she made to save Grey’s life-a nixie bubble lodged in her arm that could call her away to do their bidding or spell her death.
Even as their loyalty to their cause and to one another faces its greatest test, Rune’s twin brother Ryker is forging an alliance with their mortal enemy, the powerful sorceress Zio, who has plans of her own for the Venators and Eon. Hearts will be bared, secrets unveiled, and relationships made and destroyed in this stunning new installment of the Venators series.
I can’t wait to finish the third book in this series, and the beginning of this book has completely drawn me in. Grey and Rune’s story has kept me more and more on the edge of my seat, and I can’t wait to see how it will play out in this book.
Grey and Rune have been reunited, but they both hold secrets from one another. Grey went through a lot more than he is admitting to during his time with the Fae, and he doesn’t want to talk about it with anyone. Rune is stressed about the favor that the nixies expect her to complete. Ryker has also been on the sidelines for the last two books, and I hope to finally get to see him in action. Although he is definitely not on the right side of the war, I still want to see how he acts when he runs into his sister again.
The beginning of the book starts off on a slower pace than the last book ended. Now Grey has been home and is not in immediate danger, but the fight isn’t over. Even though the pace was slower, I was speeding through the pages because I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen to these characters. Rune and Grey grew on me so much in the previous book, and I want to know how their story will continue to evolve in this novel. Stay tuned for my full review of Legends Rise coming soon!
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a New Adult/upper YA fantasy series to read.
