Claws of Death (Wings of Ink Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,484 ratings

“Together, Ayna… Together, we’re eternal.”

Trading one prison for another, one kingdom for the next—there’s no escape for Ayna.

Myron is free, but freedom comes at steep cost.

Back in Erina’s gilded prison, Ayna has one goal: escape. But with the King of Tavras holding her captive and her sister’s sacrifice keeping her from running, she’s forced to play a dangerous game. If she fails to outmaneuver Erina, she'll never break free. But waiting for Myron to return might risk everything they’ve fought for.

As long as Myron remains free, there’s still hope.

While Ayna fights to stay strong, Myron is racing to save what’s left of his court. With the help of a fairy princess and an Askarean general, he prepares for the looming threat of Tavras, armed with magic-suppressing weapons. But Tavras isn’t the only enemy. The Flames still seek revenge, and without a powerful ally, Myron’s court is doomed. An ancient enemy might just be the ally he needs.

Packed with sizzling romance, intrigue, and high-stake battles, Claws of Death is the heart-pounding third book in the epic romantic fantasy series, Wings of Ink, perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Quicksilver, and From Blood and Ash.

The Wings of Ink series is part of the Alcunaire!

The Thrilling Adventure Continues...
CLAWS OF DEATH by Angelina J. Steffort (Wings of Ink Series – Book 3) If a black cloud could hover over a character, that character would be Ayna! In Claws of Death, the third installment in the Wings of Ink series by Angelina J. Steffort, our Ayna has gone and gotten herself in more trouble. While her beloved King Myron is free, Ayna is locked away with only one purpose in life – to escape. Unfortunately, her captor, King Erina of Tavras is set on capitalizing on her true identity, marrying her and forcing her to be his queen. Ayna’s only hope is Myron – who has his hands full trying to salvage what’s left of his court and Kingdom, while trying to figure out who he can trust and how to beat his enemies. Teaming up with new allies, beating insurmountable odds, overcoming unexpected magic and dealing with unfair gods, our favorite King and Queen truly have their hands full. And the evil characters are just as plentiful in this story. For as much as you love Ayna and Myron, you will feel nothing but disgust for Ephegos and King Erina. Balance of good and evil is well maintained throughout the story, but the happy ending is never quite achieved. The quick pace of this story is dotted with grueling battles where no one fights fairly! And do we need to talk about surprises? This story has some interesting twists and turns throughout – Especially the ending!!!!!! Book 4 – Where For Art Tho!!!!!! Favorite Quote – “You think too much, Ayna. We all would have been better off if only you were nothing more than a pretty face.” World Building – Easy to understand, the world building needs no guidance or mapping. Plot – Ongoing battle between good and evil, with a bit of ancient magic thrown in to mix everything up! Spice Level – 🌶 🌶 – The tasteful displays of love, care and adoration are not overly smutty. Tropes – Unexpected Pasts, Lost and Found Love, Deception, Torture Favorite Parts – I love the main characters, but I’m intrigued by the author’s use of the secondary characters to support and bridge the action. Herinor is so complex a character, he could have a story just about his life and adventures!

    Not the best at writing reviews but here goes...

    What a roller coaster ride!

    I like the characters and the banter between them no matter what their relationships are, good or bad. The story line itself was up and down. Action packed then not much happening to action and something unexpected happening and repeating itself. I felt like some parts took too long to move on turning anticipation into boredom for a lil bit. I did enjoy learning more about some of the side characters' pasts.

    So many love connections! Myron and Anya's souls are so intertwined that the world falls away when they are in proximity and the spice between them 🔥🥵 Angst between some others denying the connection or some hinting at possible other mate bonds have me anticipating the next book just to see if I was right! Getting to know some others who are already bonded was 🥰

    The ending was definitely shocking 😲. I expected it at the last minute but was still totally in shock when it happened.

    I am so very ready for the next book!!!!

    I have completed all 3 available titles in this series. Some of the plots are age old, I’m thinking a compilation of fairy tales. I won’t name or list them because I don’t want to provide “spoiler” details. I will read the remaining novel(s) when published—I’m no quitter.

    The only thing that I would change is the cliffhangers. When you have to wait for 6 months for the next installment…it makes it tough.

    I really like this story and all the characters, but I find myself frustrated with the 3rd book. Anya is this all powerful queen of 2 kingdoms, but she still doesn't use her power because she can't control it lest she kill everyone in the vicinity including her friends. She's had so many opportunities to be trained, but she wasted those opportunities by making love to her mate over and over again. They are in the midst of war and this is how a queen prioritizes? She keeps getting outsmarted and caught again and again. It's more of the same and I'm about done!

    Seriously so in love with this series. I couldn’t out this book down. The unknown the constant on edge feel of not having any idea what’s going to happen is amazing. I can usually guess what is going to happen atleast a sliver of it. But these books always throw me for a loop and I’m never even remotely close to right.

    Claws of Death è stato una montagna russa di emozioni. Innanzitutto ho amato la scena della reunion tra Myron e Ayna, ma inoltre i due sono stati molto provati in questo libro. Le sfide che devono affrontare vanno a toccare il loro rapporto profondamente. Davvero molto emozionante e anche straziante. Il finale, poi, è stato sorprendente e di certo non rende le cose facili per i due! E come sempre per quanto riguarda la serie, amo la found family e i personaggi, anche alcuni dei nuovi che sono stati introdotti in questo volume.

    Claws of Death è un sequel che non esita a colpire il lettore nella sua emotività, creando una storia imprevedibile. Sono rimasta soprattutto colpita dal finale, che è completamente diverso da ciò che ho imparato ad aspettarmi da questa serie. Consigliato per chi ama dark fantasy come From Blood and Ash!
