“Run, Gwen. Run as far and as hard as you can. Because when I catch you… You will belong to me.”
When she shattered the Iron Crystal and returned magic to Avalon, Gwen also shattered Mordred’s heart. Torn between her passion for Mordred and his rage at her betrayal, she fled into the wilds.
Gwen’s choice has transformed Avalon, and the island teems with magical wonders freed from the crystal. But Gwen also released the vicious and chaotic elementals . Desperate for revenge against Mordred, some of them see Gwen as an ally, others as a hostage.
Now, the Prince in Iron hunts Gwen relentlessly, though at night he visits her in dreams, unable to break the desire that binds them . She is his weakness. If his enemies captured her, he knows that he would make any deal, break any vow to return her to his side.
As the elementals prepare for battle, Gwen will face an impossible choice . Can she stand by as Avalon’s magic is destroyed once again? Or will she fight to overthrow the man she loves?
Building from slow-burn to steam, the Iron Crystal series is packed with alluring villains, dark magic and heart-stopping twists. If you’re a fan of Sarah J. Maas, Laura Thalassa and Carissa Broadbent, To Bind a Dark Heart will have you reading late into the night.
I am finally getting a chance to catch up with this series!!! I loved book 1 and I just haven’t had a chance to catch up with the brooding Mordred or Gwen.
Gwen! Oh, I do love Gwen, whenever she is about she cracks me up from her witty sarcasm to her swearing to her internal dilemmas, she makes me smile. She is your typical teenage girl…well if she had been thrown in Avalon and can create fire!
When we start the book, we jump straight into the action from the last book, hardly, if any, time has passed. Gwen is in hiding and and trying to understand what the heck had happened when she has a companion. A companion we didn’t see coming!
I love the wizard, Merlin or not, he was brilliant! How one person can be so cheerful during time of war I will never know! I loved the description of the new Avalon, as we journey through with Gwen. Everything has colour again, but is that a wise thing?
I loved meeting the Gossamer Lady, who also has a pretty kick-ass name, but it did break me, the love that she and Galahad have. On separate sides, but not wanting to be. Not able to be with each other and yearning for each other. Mordred!!!!!!!
And Tim, Tim the tin, I want him to be complete. *sigh*
I got involved straight away and the audiobook narrator’s is perfect. I can’t wait for the next one. I can already feel the pull!
A fab addition to the series, and a rather sad, intense way to leave us!!
Until the next time xxx
