Synopsis

This loose Rapunzel retelling challenges the thin lines between devotion and love—between duty and freedom. The Legends of Henosis is a debut fantasy romance series exploring the many fables of a magical, compelling realm. “It is time to act, Sister of the Stars.” Tower walls are all Asterie knows. As the Sisterhood’s oracle, she is used to seeing what comes next. But when Asterie becomes consumed with visions of destruction, she only sees ruin. When a prophecy speaks to her, Asterie realizes she must leave her tower for the first time. She ventures out to help a young Queen unbind a dangerously alluring warlock from the northern woodlands. Find her. Fenris hears the voice whisper to him. But he is alone. He has been alone, exiled, for four centuries. When an enchantress shows up with a promise of freedom, he wonders if she is the woman he is destined to find. Fenris realizes that Asterie doesn’t understand the power within her, a power that once destroyed his world. He tells himself not to get involved. But will he be strong enough to resist her?
