About this book

Sybil has spent nine years as a Diviner in a windswept cathedral, channeling visions from otherworldly Omens to predict the kingdom's future—and she's desperate to finally be free of the gift. When her sister Diviners start mysteriously disappearing, she's forced to reluctantly team up with Rodrick, a devastatingly rude and handsome knight who doesn't believe in her powers at all. Together they must venture into a dangerous world beyond the cathedral's safety, where gods walk among mortals and nothing is quite as it seems. It's a beautifully atmospheric fantasy romance about finding strength in an unexpected partnership and discovering that sometimes the person who challenges you most is exactly who you need.

hauntingyearningtensesensualgothic

Dark gothic romance with atmospheric tension and slow-burn passion. Mix ethereal, haunting vocals (Florence + The Machine, Hozier) with brooding indie and orchestral elements. Moody, sensual, with moments of vulnerability beneath the shadows.
