You'll experience a gripping journey of self-discovery and sacrifice that leaves you pondering fate and love long after the last page.

Synopsis

A betrayal by Death raises the new Gods. Reva Carraphim was raised as a Healer, not a warrior, but she finds her path leading toward a destiny she never expected. Accompanied by her friends— including the two men who have left a mark on her heart—she journeys to meet with the Light Sirians on an abandoned island, still reeling from all she’s learned and lost. But the longer they’re on the island, Reva finds the Sirians are keeping secrets, causing her to question who she really stands with. But the more she trains without her mother’s necklace, Reva is plagued by dreams unlike any she’s had before. Something within her believes they may not be dreams at all… Prince Tariq Hesper inherited a throne he wasn’t supposed to have, forcing him to step into a role he never wanted. He taught himself how to expertly hide behind a mask, command a room, and always be two steps ahead of his opponent… Until he fell hopelessly in love with Reva Carraphim. Tasked with forging an alliance between his kingdom and the Light Sirians, Tariq learns the enemy is at an advantage. As control slowly slips from his fingers, he frantically holds onto a new future he yearns for, ignoring that he might have to choose between loyalty or love. Their world as they know it begins to unravel, revealing a betrayal that just may ruin them both. Death Raises Gods is the third book in The Sirians Series, a five-book epic fantasy romance series that follows the ever-reluctant, black-cat FMC Reva as she struggles to discover her heritage and who—and what—she really is. This slow-burn, friends-to-lovers series is perfect for readers who love unique magic systems, romantic tension, witty banter, and want something new in their adult fantasy books. This book is meant for readers who enjoy long game, plot-heavy romantasy like From Blood and Ash, Gild, Daughter of No Worlds, Shadow and Bone, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
