Synopsis
The curse will destroy us all.
Montana:
I’m changed beyond return, my life torn apart by the god who forced this fate upon me.
Now I’m a creature of ruin and bloodshed, but the price I’ve paid comes with the sweetest of gifts.
The prince who claimed my heart has seized me once again, but this time, I’m on equal ground. I’m strong enough to fight at his side and face the wrath of our enemies, but some dark plot is brewing in the city, and I fear what’s coming.
Because it feels like an unforgiving storm.
Callie:
My sister is lost, and I don’t know if we will ever be whole again. Will she love me as she once had, or will her newfound hunger be the death of us?
Though I’ve reclaimed my freedom, the taste of it is bittersweet. Because without my twin, nothing feels right.
And even though I can finally claim the man my soul aches for, I’m afraid of the darkness seeping into my life.
The threat of gods and monsters is mounting upon us by the hour, and time is running out to save us all.
***This is a dark, fantasy romance series by the authors of Zodiac Academy with all the enemies to lovers vibes – don’t go expecting a sweet vampire with sparkling skin and a tendency to watch you sleeping. These vampires are savage and bloodthirsty, and the slayer who hunts them will stab first and ask questions later. This war-torn fantasy world is a brutal bi*ch and only those 18+ have a chance at surviving the darkness lurking between these pages. There’s no well-meaning vampires snacking on Bambies instead of babies, and if they get their teeth into you, you’ll be damn lucky to escape with your life and panties intact. So grab hold of your slayer blade (wooden stakes have too many splinters) and get ready to defy the gods, because this is going to be one helluva ride***

Forsaken Relic is the fifth book in the Age of Vampires series and continues the story of twin-sisters Callie and Montana. This book was previously published in 2019 and is now rewritten and revamped.
Forsaken Relic is another great addition to the Age of Vampires series. This book is filled with action, love, glimpses from the past, and many more things! I liked the original books published in 2019, and it's so nice to read the story of Callie and Montana again, but now in a rewritten version. The main story is still the same, but the authors made some changes to make the story even better! Something that I also really like about the Age of Vampires books, is that they aren't too big. You can easily finish them in a few days without having the feeling that the book has a dragging pace or dragging storyline.
In Forsaken Relic, you continue reading about the twin-sisters, Callie and Montana. You read in their POV, but also in Erik and Magnar's POV. I really like the four POVs, the four of them are the most important characters in the story. In Forsaken Relic, more romance is happening but there's also a lot of action and drama. The perfect mix!
As I mention in every Age of Vampires review, I'm so happy to read the revamped version. I really liked Callie and Montana's story, and it's so nice to be in this world again. It's also really nice to be able to read these books without waiting long for the next one to release. If you like reading about vampires, slayers, slow-burn romance and epic fights, then the Age of Vampires series is definitely something for you!
