Number-one bestselling, Waterstones Prize-shortlisted author Emily Varga returns!
A high stakes, action-packed romantic fantasy featuring a relic-hunter searching for an ancient Fae object to restore the magic to her world - and the cold-eyed Fae captain seeking the same . . .
I’m going across the River. And I’m going to save us all.
Yaseema is a brilliant scholar and loyal servant of the Empire — or so they think. By day, she catalogs the fae relics of her conquered kingdom. But by night, she reclaims the artefacts in secret, trying to restore magic to her dying land.
When she finds the long lost key to cross the River into the fae world, a ruthless realm awaits her there, ruled by monsters wearing beautiful skin. Even the cold-eyed captain who sees through her lies isn’t what he seems, and he is seeking the same lost relic as Yaseema: the crown of an ancient Fae Queen.
To survive, they must work together to outwit ancient curses, battle creatures born of nightmares, and find a power that could resurrect their worlds. But as secrets unravel and loyalties blur, they face the greatest danger of all: losing their heart to each other.
Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and The Mummy , this thrilling start to a fantasy duology bursts with dangerous romance, heart-stopping twists, and a heroine who dares to steal back her future.
Emily Varga is a YA Fantasy author with a fondness for getting lost in bookstores, eating copious amounts of rice, and watching a lot of terrible reality tv. She has lived all over the world, but currently calls the Rocky Mountains of western Canada home, where she lives with her family and their menagerie of pets. When she's not writing, Emily works as a family lawyer, where she learned more about storytelling than she ever expected.
Emily's debut novel For She is Wrath is a Pakistani-inspired Count of Monte Cristo retelling.
