An uneasy alliance between warring families gets heated in this
otherworldly novella from bestselling author Ilona Andrews.
At first glance, the planet Rada seems like a lush paradise. But the
ruling families, all boasting genetically enhanced abilities, are in
constant competition for power―and none more so than the Adlers and the
Baenas. For generations, the powerful families have pushed and pulled
each other in a dance for dominance.
Until a catastrophic betrayal from within changes everything.
Now, deadly, disciplined, and solitary leaders Ramona Adler and Matias
Baena must put aside their enmity and work together in secret to prevent
sinister forces from exploiting universe-altering technology. Expecting
to suffer through their uneasy alliance, Ramona and Matias instead
discover that they understand each other as no one in their families
can―and that their combined skills may eclipse the risks of their
forbidden alliance.
As the two warriors risk their lives to save their families, they must
decide whether to resist or embrace the passion simmering between them.
For now, the dance between their families continues―but just one misstep
could spell the end of them both.
I've got to say that I was really excited about IA's new release - Fated Blades. I stayed up waiting for it to land on my kindle at midnight and ended up finishing it in a few hours! I wanna scream y'all!❣️😬 It was that good!
In case you didn't already know Ilona Andrews are one of my favorite author duos and every single book of theirs is a favorite of mine. I'd read whatever they write even if it's a telephone directory!😆 And this new addition to the Kinsmen Universe(a highly underrated series of theirs) was amazing!
We've got a sci-fi world with lots of families whose members have been genetically enhanced and political intrigue + infighting. The protagonists in this one - Matias and Ramona - come from two families with the same abilities who have always been in a feud. And they've just discovered that their spouses have run away with each other after stealing the data related to a tech project that they've been working on 👀.
I mean if this isn't enough to get you hooked let me add, we've got
✨ Enemies to lovers(literally)
✨ Breath taking world-building
✨ Amazing fight scenes that go hand in hand with dancing
I devoured this book in a few hours even though I wanted to read it slowly lol. The build up of the tension between Matias and Ramona along with the background of the secares that was unveiled slowly was done really well! Totally loved the romance between them! I just wish it were longer(it's a slightly long novella) and that's basically the only thing I can complain about 😂 Idk what am I going to read next because I'm going to be hungover until I can get my next IA fix(Ruby Fever when are you going to come out?).

“Ilona Andrews” is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team.
Ilona is a native-born Russian and Gordon is a former communications
sergeant in the U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an
intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the
mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college, in English
Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore
about that.)
Gordon and Ilona currently reside in Texas with their two children and
many dogs and cats.
They have co-authored several bestselling series, including the #1 NYT
bestselling urban fantasy of Kate Daniels, rustic fantasy of the Edge,
paranormal romance of Hidden Legacy, and Innkeeper Chronicles, which they
post as a free weekly serial. For complete list of their books, fun
extras, and Innkeeper installments, please visit their website at
