With her death foretold, Althea Zoltaire only has three years to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a warrior legend. Women are forbidden to wield blades, so she has trained in secret her entire life. Now racing against the clock, she fights to secure her place in the elite guild charged with the protection of the five kingdoms.

The sparring and hazing of the new trainees border on deadly, but even more dangerous is her growing attraction to Wilder Hawthorne, her unwilling warrior chaperone. All around them, schemes are afoot and darkness looms.

Will Althea pass the perilous initiation test and take her place as a champion of Thezmarr—or will the invading evil snatch away her dream before it starts?

Blood & Steel is the gripping first book in the heart-pounding, epic romantic fantasy series, The Legends of Thezmarr.

The process in this book. Thea is probably one of the most brave women/characters I have ever read through everything. She tries to persevere and complete the task that she wants to complete in her young life add in Hawthorne, and it warms your heart to know in to see the development of the characters within this book. I can’t wait to read the next!

I did not want to leave my car because I was so immersed in this story that even a pause felt hard to do. I enjoyed the narration that brought this great story to life. Thea is an amazing FMC and Wilder, oh I need way more of him. Definitely looking forward to book 2.

Loved this story!

This book took me out of my reading slump. I loved everything about this book. The characters were lovable, the plot was engaging, the FMC was mature and feisty, and the friendships were so lovable too. And the ending!!!! Omg I can’t wait to read the next book!!

BEST SLOW BURN ROMANCE & PLOT

Definitely did enjoy this novel! Kept listening despite reality trying to intrude! Did feel like something was missing though so that’s why it’s not a 5 star! What can’t place, maybe the backstory or fleshed out minor characters…it is not a great distraction as still enjoyed the novel & with 3 more in this series no doubt more will become known lol!!

Great escapism novel though & the narrators do a great job of bringing these characters to life!! Loved the few POV we get from our MMC definitely helps the novel become more engaging & flesh out information without the need to “info dump” this world building is solid especially for the first novel!

Definitely has Fourth Wing & Divergent vibes!!!! This is by far my fav genre!! Supernatural/Dystopian/slow burn—extremely slow burn, but finally at end we get some spice lol / they try to hate each other & stay away, but they can’t mentor/mentee later on tropes alpha male, but strong willed FMC! Highly recommend this if any or all these tropes appeal!!!! Will be downloading next on series right away!!!!

Solid narrators & novel!!!!

I’m hooked! It’s everything I look for in a fantasy romance- strong FMC, broody MMC, magic, weapons training, tests of strength, nasty enemies, royals, and loads of attraction and tension. Can’t wait to get #2!

Fantastic!!

The narration of this story brought it to life with the rich tones. Wish this had been read as a duet narration, but loved it nonetheless. Great plot and immersive world building! Loved it so much, I bought the next series in book and audible form.

A very well narrated, really good story. It was my first book by Helen Scheuerer and I was pleasantly surprised. Very good world building with adventures, emotions, attractions, and mild spice. The characters are well developed and I hope they will continue to grow in the subsequent series.
The MFC is one of those characters you can’t help but love. Wilder is everything one can hope to read in a romantasy. He struggles with his feelings and is basically a major grump. But I couldn’t help liking him.❤️ very, very good book. I can’t wait what happens next.
