From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a slow burn romantasy where gods wage war, love becomes obsession, and the most dangerous word in any language is yes.
He conquered kingdoms. Now, he’s coming after her.
Cyrus Dolion has claimed his throne, dethroned gods, and fused his soul with the deity of ruin and madness. He’s building a new world—and yet, he cannot reclaim Arden Roosa. She slipped through his fingers once, and he’ll do anything to win her again.
Arden knows exactly what Cyrus wants: to use her body as a vessel for his goddess wife, her will dismantled and rebuilt in his image. She refuses. Sworn to Soal, the Source of All Light, she trains under the formidable Domino Crane, learning to wield powers she barely understands, preparing for a war she didn’t choose, and fighting the most treacherous battle of all: the one inside her own heart. Because Domino sees every scar, every fracture, every mistake—and wants her anyway.
As kingdoms collapse beneath betrayal and divine ambition, Arden finds herself torn between two impossible forces: the emperor willing to destroy the world to make her his queen…and the warrior willing to destroy himself to stand at her side.
From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a fusion of modern and fantastical worlds, where a young woman must navigate a secret society, uncover a shocking enemy…and resist an undeniable attraction.
Twenty-year-old Arden Roosa knows only Ourland. Two worlds split and stitched together, with broken pieces from each, statues of fallen gods, and heavenly artifacts that are worshipped…or feared.
But nothing is more fearsome than the night.
A strange madness haunts the darkest hours, turning innocents into gleeful killers. Arden does her best to stay safe—until she reads a book written about her own life—The Book of Arden. And everything changes.
Forced to join Fort Bala Royal Academy, Arden is paired with the ruthless High Prince Cyrus Dolion. But while he trains her for combat against a mystical adversary, she can’t deny the sparks burning between them.
If her panic attacks and war games aren’t enough, Arden is also tapped to join the Tome Society, rumored guardians of an invisible library with books that foretell the future. But the more she learns about the society, the less she understands about Ourland, the gods…and the person she’s destined to be.
From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a hauntingly beautiful dystopian fantasy, where ancient powers rise and a fearless young woman must choose between the ruthless prince who tempts her heart—and a destiny that could cost her soul.
When Arden Roosa returns to Fort Bala Royal Academy, nothing is as it was. No longer just a lady-in-training, she’s now the infamous girlfriend of High Prince Cyrus Dolion—and the woman who brought down a king. Her reward? Round-the-clock guards and the attention of a royal executioner with secrets. But Arden has secrets too. As a double agent slipping between worlds to decode forbidden prophecy, she knows what’s coming. Sleeping gods are stirring, and a war igniting. With only a spark, everyone will burn.
But nothing goes according to plan. Grueling trials consume her days, and dangerous questions stalk her nights. Worse, Cyrus—the fierce, unshakable warrior she might love—is unraveling, losing pieces of himself, becoming a stranger right before her eyes. Desperate to save him, Arden strikes a life-altering alliance…and everything spirals. Now the gods are no longer dreaming. They’re hunting. Time is running out, the end closer than anyone dares to admit. Unless Arden can stop what’s coming, Cyrus will open the door to true evil—and she’ll lose him forever.
