KINGDOMS WILL RISE AND FALL FOR HER

Cat Fisa isn't who she pretends to be. She's perfectly content living disguised as a soothsayer in a traveling circus, avoiding the destiny the Gods—and her dangerous family—have saddled her with. As far as she's concerned, the magic humming within her blood can live and die with her. She won't be a pawn in anyone's game.

But then she locks eyes with an ambitious warlord from the magic-deprived south and her illusion of safety is shattered forever.

Griffin knows Cat is the Kingmaker—the woman who divines truth through lies—and he wants her to be a powerful weapon for his newly conquered realm. Kidnapping her off the street is simple enough, but keeping her by his side is infuriatingly tough. Cat fights him at every turn, showing a ferocity of spirit that burns hot...and leaves him desperate for more. But can he ever hope to prove to his once-captive that he wants her there by his side as his equal, his companion...and maybe someday, his Queen?

Discover exciting bonus material, including maps, illustrations, and an expanded look at the world of Thalyria. Fans of Jennifer Armentrout, Scarlett St. Clair and Sarah J. Maas will burn for this spicy romantic fantasy.

Kingmaker Chronicles Series

DANGER, DESIRE, AND KINGDOMS ON THE BRINK OF WAR.

Enter a world of secrets, betrayal, and high-stakes action in this sizzling, slow burn romantasy from USA Today bestselling author Amanda Bouchet.

A woman searching for answers.
Idallia has been serving in the Dragon King’s Elite Wing of dragon shifters for nearly two hundred years. She doesn’t have fire or flight of her own, but she’s a phoenix rider with enough speed and skill to make her enemies think twice about tangling with her or her warbirds.

Centuries of life without knowing who or what you are is complicated enough without harboring a growing secret attraction, but the more time Idallia spends with Bale Cinderheart, the harder it is to stay away from the fiercely protective Dragon King. Dominant, intense…and the one man with the power to ruin everything.

A king safeguarding his treasures.
Bale has centuries of ruling under his scales and more responsibilities than he has fangs. His greatest triumph is his Elite Wing and their warbirds, but his biggest fear is losing them. Especially Idallia. She’s his forbidden desire and the one person he can’t seem to let go of—even for his own good.

While the man in him guards his heart as relentlessly as the dragon in him guards his kingdom, he's also the keeper of the answers Idallia has been seeking her whole life. Revealing the truth now could cost him everything—his home, his crown, his heart…

The threat of war looms as magic fades from the world of Ellonrift. Will the Dragon King preserve the fragile peace between the kingdoms? Or burn it all down, for her…


The Light Under the Shadow Wing

Atesin Vaadi

Pour elle, des royaumes se soulèveront et s’effondreront... Mais pas si elle peut l’éviter. Catalia Fisa, alias Cat, vit dissimulée en tant que devineresse dans un cirque itinérant. Éviter les dangers et la destinée que les Dieux — ainsi que sa mère meurtrière — ont prévus pour elle lui convient parfaitement. Du moins, jusqu’à ce que Griffin, un seigneur de guerre ambitieux venant des régions du Sud pauvres en magie, pose sur elle son regard d’acier et bouleverse son illusion de sécurité à jamais. Griffin sait que Cat est la Faiseuse de Roi, la femme qui devine la vérité à travers les mensonges. Et il est bien décidé à repartir avec elle à ses côtés. #HeroicFantasy #MythologieGrecque #Romance #Magie #CréaturesFantastiques ___ « Les personnages sont terriblement attachants, l’univers est unique et tissé d’intrigues, et ce livre laisse transparaître une passion que j’ai adorée et qui m’a forcée à dévorer cette histoire...
