This is the dagger-to-the-throat romantasy YA trilogy on everyone's lips. A TikTok phenomenon pulling elements of our favourite tropes, this is a mixture of Red Queen, The Hunger Games and Fourth Wing.
The trope is rivals to enemies. Our main characters tell their stories through a dual POV. And may we also mention that the main male character is morally grey and very handsome? While this series is not spicy, it does have the 'Who did this to you?' trope, as well as heart-racing trials and an epic chase, all while our main characters, Ordinary-born Paedyn Gray and Ilya’s Enforcer Kai Azer, fight their strong feelings for each other.
Accompanying the series, Lauren Roberts has also released Powerful, a companion novella to the first book.
