Fantasy romance
A god of creation and destruction, isolated from everyone and the truth in a castle because of her power, Oralia has always wanted to do more. Forced to simply exist, it all comes to a head when her power does the worst and she escapes to her enemy’s kingdom, controlled by king of death, Renwick. They are enemies but Ren wishes to show her the truth and teach her to become stronger and she changes him in ways he couldn’t not expect, their shadows connecting into a bond that can destroy life itself. Their attraction, kingdom shattering. She is the balance among gods and kings.
I loved how we had the gods and the kings who got timeless in the book and just how everything fits. What a book. If you’re looking for gods and monsters fighting, good versus evil, fated love then this is it. The burn really burnt. I was in love. The ending. What a cliffhanger. What next?
I can’t wait for book 2. I’m so excited.
