Synopsis
This slow-burn, true enemies-to-lovers romantasy filled with high stakes and political intrigue is perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses
An unleashed power. An all-consuming desire.
Decades after a rebellion tore through the Isle of Sidhe, Fia Riftborne has learnt three important lessons to survival: keep your head down, don't draw attention to yourself, and avoid the Sídhe Guard at all costs.
That isn't so easy though when she harbours a secret power, one that would paint a target on her back if discovered. But, after a simple errand goes awry and her explosive power erupts, Fia knows she can no longer hide in the shadows.
Only, the swift punishment she expected never materialises. Instead, the elusive General Laryk Ashford offers her a choice: join the Sídhe Guard...or face execution.
Soon, Fia faces another impossible choice: surrender to the chaos within and risk destroying everything she holds dear or become a weapon in the hands of those who took everything from her.
Including the alluring General who is starting to consume her every thought...
