Synopsis
Mona is tasked with saving the world and everyone she loves—but what can she do when even the gods have failed? This sequel to Divine Mortals, which Kirkus Reviews recommended for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros, delivers sizzling romance and epic stakes. Soothsayer Mona Arnett never even wanted a soulmate, and now she's been forced to marry the king, parting from the man she truly loves. Worse, though Mona has delayed the prophesied end of the world, she hasn't stopped it. The gods have turned their back, the castle is besieged by demons, and Mona is the only one who can seek help. But who do you turn to when the world is ending and even the gods are powerless to stop it? To save all those she’s come to love, Mona may have to become even more powerful than the gods . . .
