About this listen

An unexpected gift offers the power to change everything. Keeping it could cost Diem her life.

The threat of war has arrived at Diem's doorstep, along with a new discovery that could save her people. To use it, she must survive the next thirty days by forming a devil's bargain with the people she hates most: the royal family of House Corbois.

As she dives into the world of the Descended elite, Diem quickly realizes good and evil aren't as simple as they seem. Old prejudices are challenged, and new loyalties blur the line between friend and foe.

Meanwhile, her mother is still missing, and the secrets she left behind can no longer be ignored—and neither can the Guardians and their demands. Caught between an old flame and a sizzling new spark, Diem must confront the truth about who she is and what she wants before time runs out.

War is coming, and dangerous enemies wait on all sides... but the most deadly battle Diem faces may be the one for her heart.

Glow of the Everflame is the second book in The Kindred's Curse Saga, a four-book epic fantasy romance series that follows our feisty, bad*ss heroine Diem Bellator in her fight against injustice and oppression, her struggle to survive in a royal palace full of betrayal and intrigue, and her journey of self-discovery and finding true love.

Heart wrenching and binge worthy!

This was such a lovely written book! I read the first but could not get my hands on the 2nd book so I decided to listen to it because I could not wait for Dec.3rd when the new publisher released the 2nd book. And I am so happy I did! This book is amazing! This series is so well written!

Addicting From Start To Finish

I’m low-key obsessed with the KINDRED’S CURSE SAGA. Between the excellent writing, strong characters, exciting plot, and torturously slow burn romance, this series is essentially ticking all my boxes.

GLOW OF THE EVERFLAME takes places right after the events of the previous book with Diem grappling at her new status Descended and Mortal societies. Suffice to say that she doesn’t quite fit anywhere, which makes her a prime target for those who want the crown.

What follows is a spectacular story of politics, drama, twists, action, and character development. Diem is a fantastic female lead character, one who reacts with courage and compassion to situations around her. She is passionate and goes through a tumult of emotions, but she deserves to be at the top of strong FMCs in romantasy.

There is not enough space for me to go on about my love for the side characters, both old and new. They all have complexities and affect how Diem reacts. She has excellent scenes with all of them, friend and foe, which makes them all layered and real. The characters are truly the best part of the KINDRED’S CURSE SAGA.

Not to say anything else is bad. Far from it! The settings are immersive, the action is thrilling, the drama feels natural, and the plot is engaging. There is a lot going on, but I never felt overwhelmed or rushed at any point.

While this series is definite guilty of adding every romantasy trope in the book, it never bothered me enough to stop reading. Far from it. Truly, when this series is wholly itself, without the tropes, that is when it stands strongest. There is an incredible section near the end that had my jaw on the floor and all I could do was keep going.

And the ending! The ending is absolutely thrilling and I’m eager for the next book. Special mention to the brilliant voice actor for putting passion and power into her performance. I’m ready for more!

The Ending was so Good

Overall not as good as the first book, lots of building and character development. The ending was really good though. All the awesome stuff literally happened at the very end of the book which hopefully all this building makes the next book better.

Definitely Read this book!

Love the relationships our FMC builds and the fundamental values she holds. In a world divided, much like our own, she yearns to make a difference. Soon she will be given the chance with many obstacles in her way.

The way Penn builds such a beautiful FMC, the world she lives in and the relationships she creates makes this book series so worthy of a read. Love the development of her and Luther's relationship, as well as, with other Decended. Sometimes our perspectives in life are so clouded with the experiences we have given that it's hard to see the entire picture. This book captures this lesson and many others perfectly. I am finding myself through the entire series in a mere few weeks and wondering how much longer until the final book drops!

Definitely worth getting into this slow burn romantasy!

🌟🌟🌟🌟/ 🌶️ Wonderful series although the FMC can be sooooo frustrating at times with her actions. I know it's part of her character development, so stick with it b/c it's worth it!

More Fantasy than Romance

Great story. Fans of SJM will like it. Lack of spice might deter some.

Loved the magic and characters

Loved every minute of this audiobook. It’s such a good slow build up. I’m so excited to start book three.
