Publisher Description

"A lush and bewitching gothic romance, where the inner lives of the characters are just as intricately crafted as their sumptuously magical world. I was completely swept away." — Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning

New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn, Claire Legrand, enchants with a lush, steamy enemies to lovers fantasy romance perfect for fans of Bridgerton and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

THE OLD WAR IS OVER. A NEW ONE IS JUST BEGINNING.

The curse plaguing the Ashbourne and Bask families has finally been broken, but Farrin, the eldest Ashbourne daughter, still struggles to find peace. Unflappable and tireless, her composure masks a seething sorrow. Since her mother abandoned the family, Farrin has been their rock—managing her father's temper, running the estate, keeping tight control over her dangerous musical power, and ignoring her own need for rest, distraction, and most of all, love.

In Ryder Bask, Farrin's stubborn strength has met its match. The man infuriates her. He's coarse, arrogant, annoyingly handsome. He's as tired of their feuding parents as she is, and he brims with some secret anger that mirrors Farrin's frustrated rage.

But Farrin must work with every ally she can—even the man she has been raised to hate. With every rising dawn, the Middlemist weakens further. Anointed magicians are disappearing. A fiery Olden creature is stalking Farrin. Strange visions haunt the High Queen Yvaine. And as Farrin and Ryder race to find stolen loved ones, they begin to realize a horrifying truth:

The gods are not dead. They're waking up. And someone is hunting them.

“I enjoyed this more than the first book. As someone who enjoys a long book, this felt too long for the story.”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“✨ A stellar sequel! ✨ I absolutely love Legrand’s writing style—her flowery prose creates a world that feels truly magical and unique. I instantly connected with Gemma in book one. As someone with a disability, I deeply appreciate having an FMC who experiences chronic pain and illness. In contrast, I struggled to relate to Farrin as a character. Her emotional immaturity and rude demeanor was initially disappointing. It took time for me to care about Farrin’s journey, but Legrand’s skillful writing got me there by the end. That, to me, is the mark of a great author—one who can make you invest in a character even when they don’t immediately resonate with you. Ultimately, my rating reflects how well-written the book is, not just how much I liked the characters—and Legrand’s storytelling absolutely delivers.”
