Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
You'll get feral over the intense enemies-to-lovers dynamic and dark magic conflicts that keep your heart pounding.
Synopsis
From the Amazon. com and Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling authors of the Zodiac Academy series Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti. Secrets lay hidden in the earth. Fate whispers of it upon the wind. The ash stirs across the battlefields. And the ocean rises to watch the cards fall. **Full blurb coming soon** ***This is an enemies to lovers romantasy series set in the same world as Zodiac Academy, but it's a dark and villainous tale of its own. You haven't met tainted souls like these before or enemies that hate each other as deeply as these characters do. Book 2 in the series will leave you cursing the stars and perhaps the authors too. You'll be left hoarse from screaming profanities and desperate for more of the morally grey Fae who lurk between the pages despite all they’ve done to your poor heart...***
