I received this book for free from Author, MTMC Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
The Dark Queen has risen. War is coming.
Desperate to save her people and secure allies, Kitarni must forge her position as leader of the coven and lady of Mistvellen. The only way to do that is to marry him.
The man who betrayed her ... and the one who has her heart.
With demons roaming the land and humans on a witch hunt, their only means of survival lies in Death's fabled crown. The only problem is, it's hidden in the Under World, and the price of entry might be too much to bear.
Only the cursed one can save her people.
Only the wolf lord can save her.
Steamy, romantic, and dangerous, The Fated and the Damned is the deliciously dark conclusion to the Cursed Blood duology.

Why you need to read The Fated and the Damned
*This review is written by Isabel from The Reader and the Chef, all thoughts are my own. Please do not copy without permission.*
I can’t believe the Cursed Blood duology has come to an end, and while I am sad that it’s over, I am extremely pleased with how it concluded. I read The Cursed and the Broken last year and I was completely enchanted by Kitarni’s story (read my review here). And let me say that The Fated and the Damned was equally good, from the romance to the high stakes this world offers, I swear there is never a dull moment.
Kitarni is AMAZING! 💞 In the first book, we meet her as someone that is being shunned by most witches of her coven, making feel quite lonely despite having a loving mother and sister. Now in this sequel we get to see her surrounded by friends and allies, a fiancé that adores her, and many others finally appreciating her! And despite having a difficult task ahead, Kitarni is completely shining on her own. If you haven’t started this duology yet, you are definitely missing out!
Now Dante, oh Dante. He really did screw up! 😂 Will not say much on the matter, but I still really liked his character and you could tell he tries to improve throughout the story. He gets help of course, mostly by András and Eszter, another two characters that I enjoyed reading about.
The main goal of Kitarni is for witch covens and clans to co-exist, for families to remain together, and for all kinds of magical beings to live in peace without fear. There’s also the matter of stopping the Dark Queen, like really, this book is a page turner! I really enjoyed this duology, super recommended for all fantasy romance readers out there! 🧡✨

For The Cursed and the Broken I designed a bookish menu, so for The Fated and the Damned I baked one of Kitarni’s favorite desserts, a bejgli! This is my first time baking this Hungarian pastry, so I really hope she likes it and that you enjoy this Book Reel of us baking it!! 👩🏼🍳💖

In 2017 she completed a Bachelor of Journalism & Professional Writing at the University of South Australia, receiving recognition as a high performing student in the top 10 percentile. She was a finalist for the Julie Duncan Memorial Award, and holds a lifetime membership to the Golden Key International Honour Society. Hodge then proceeded to work for the Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC) as a radio producer in Adelaide, before spending some time in regional SA as a broadcast news reporter.
