Healer to the Ash King

A young healer with water powers is conscripted to serve in the Capital during the "Calling of the Favored," a competition during which the King will choose his bride. Her sympathies—and her friends—are with the Undoing, a band of anarchists intent on overthrowing the monarchy. When she meets the fire-wielding Ash King, all she can think about is removing him from power, by any means necessary. This enemies-to-lovers, hate-to-love romance is basically The Hunger Games (Collins) crossed with The Selection (Cass). Fans of C.N. Crawford, Sarah J. Maas, and Jennifer L. Armentrout will enjoy this book! [TW: violence, torture, brutal contests and battles, death by fire, threat of ra-pe, monsters, pregnancy of a side character]
