He’s my mate, or my murderer. That is, if I don’t kill him first.
The former Captain of the High King’s Guard, Lymseia Wynterliff has never been one for politics. But when the High King tasks her with a diplomatic mission forcing her to return home to Illnamoor—the capital of the Steel Court—she begrudgingly accepts. The High King needs someone he can trust, and Lymseia’s the only one for the job.
But all it takes is one ambush to ruin everything. With the blood of her men on her hands, Lymseia has no choice but to go along with her kidnapper’s demands. Only, her enemy isn’t at all who she expects. Her kidnapper, and the one to blame for the ambush, is the one and only heir-apparent to the Silver Court: Asheros Larmanne. Her fated.
Mysterious and cunning, Asheros stands in the way of her duty. He has an agenda of his own, and that sly grin of his only further conceals his intentions. When hostilities rise between the five Courts, threatening to reforge centuries-old alliances, it becomes all too clear that someone is orchestrating the turmoil that’s spreading like wildfire. Maybe, with Asheros’s help, Lymseia can uncover the orchestrator’s identity, and end this before it’s too late.
But if Lymseia’s trust in her captor is misaligned, her kingdom will shatter around her.
A Shattered Kingdom of Steel is the second book in the Of Metals and Curses series, featuring rivals-to-lovers romance, fated mates, forced proximity, and plot twists you’ll never see coming, perfect for readers that enjoy fantasy romance. Each book in the series features one couple, a HEA, and an overarching plot that builds with each installment. Any cliffhangers pertain to the continuing plot, and not the couple's love story. While each book can be read on its own, for the best experience, it is recommended that the series be read in order.

My Review 5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is the second book in the series and starts up where the previous book left off. I had left off reading this book for a while as I knew that it would be good and i didn't want it to be over so quick.
Lymseia was the High Kings Captain of the guard, but with a new role is more of a diplomat and is travelling to the Steel Court when her convoy is ambushed.
Asheros Larmanne, heir apparent to the Silver court has his reasons for his actions and sooner than you blink they end up on the same page.
We follow the journey of the pair and his companions as they set about finding the previous high kings killer along with navigating feelings for each other, especially when it becomes clear that they are either fated mates or will end up killing each other.
Both a strong characters and i love that Asheros is not afraid of the strong capable character that Lymesia is, his 'Bladesinger'.
There are some great supporting characters and the ongoing story from book one brings you along, giving you some answers to our questions, but also creating new questions we want answered.
I am really enjoying this series and cannot wait the the next book with Myrdin and his assassin.
