When the Stars Were Devoured (The Devoured Fates)

About this book

In the war-torn kingdom of Noxia, hope is a fading ember beneath the boot of a mad, tyrant king. Alora, a rare illusionist fueled by the suffering of her people, joins a desperate rebellion with one singular, lethal goal: assassinate the ruler who drains the life from their land. However, her mission takes a volatile turn when she captures the king’s most feared weapon—a ruthless warrior known as The Devourer. Kassiel, a man with the terrifying ability to destroy souls, has spent his life as the king’s loyal executioner. But when he finds himself held captive by the very insurgents he was sent to annihilate, his unwavering devotion begins to fracture. As Alora and Kassiel are forced into an uneasy proximity, the lines between predator and prey blur, giving way to an intense, soul-searing connection that neither anticipated. Featuring the pulse-pounding "enemies to lovers" trope, this romantasy delivers a high-stakes game of survival and betrayal. As Alora and Kassiel navigate their complex bond, they must decide if they are fated to remain enemies or if they can forge a new path together. Prepare for a dark, emotional journey where hearts are as dangerous as the magic that binds them.
