Riftborne

'EVERYTHING I LOVE IN ROMANTASY' - Demi Winters, author of The Road of Bones 
 
This slow-burn, true enemies-to-lovers romantasy filled with high stakes and political intrigue is perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses. 
 
AN UNLEASHED POWER. AN ALL-CONSUMING DESIRE. 
 
Decades after a rebellion tore through the Isle of Sidhe, Fia Riftborne has learnt three important lessons to survival: keep your head down, don’t draw attention to yourself, and avoid the Sídhe Guard at all costs. 
 
That isn’t so easy though when she harbours a secret power, one that would paint a target on her back if discovered. But, after a simple errand goes awry and her explosive power erupts, Fia knows she can no longer hide in the shadows. 
 
Only, the swift punishment she expected never materialises. Instead, the elusive General Laryk Ashford offers her a choice: join the Sídhe Guard. . .or face execution. 
 
Soon, Fia faces another impossible choice: surrender to the chaos within and risk destroying everything she holds dear or become a weapon in the hands of those who took everything from her. 
 
Including the alluring General who is starting to consume her every thought. . .

Bree Grenwich (Author) 
Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox are two platonic soulmates who have been nearly inseparable since meeting at 19. Their shared love of fantasy, badass heroines, and steamy romances fueled their dream of co-authoring a novel, which they've finally achieved with their debut, Riftborne. When they're not conjuring worlds filled with female empowerment and swoon-worthy relationships, they’re binge-watching reality TV or obsessing over the last Dungeons and Dragons session.

Worse yet, her twin brother is forced into the trials alongside her. 
 
Trapped in a competition she never wanted to enter, she transforms her fear into purpose: to kill Olinthar, King of the Gods.

This epic sequel to Riftborne, with its enemies-to-lovers romance and unexpected twists and turns, is perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses. 
 
A FATED LOVE. A COSTLY BETRAYAL. 
 
Fia Riftborne thought joining the Sídhe Guard was the hardest choice she'd ever make. 
 
She was wrong. 
 
Taken prisoner by those she swore to fight, Fia uncovers a devastating truth that upends everything she ever knew…about the Aossi…about Sídhe …about herself. 
 
The only thing that is certain, is that Fia's growing powers are tied to the Isle’s survival. 
 
As war looms on two fronts, Fia must navigate a world of shadow magic and political upheaval. And, while tensions in Sídhe reach a breaking point, the Void that gave Fia her power is calling—but answering it means betraying everyone she left behind. 
 
The Guard. Her friends. Laryk. 
 
In a war where nothing is as it seems, choosing the wrong side could cost her everything, including the brooding commander whose darkness seems to call to her own.
