AlbakiReads Editorial

A rebellion shaped by magic and forbidden power

On Edenvale, magic marks its holders for execution, while a rebel group called the Cursed fights the king’s rule. Sage joins them after her brother is conscripted, hoping to bring him back. Her mission places her alongside Von, the rebels’ secretive leader, and draws her into a larger quest watched over by the gods. The setup combines a war against royal authority with a personal rescue mission and a romantic tension between Sage and Von. The book’s fantasy world turns the possession of magic into the fault line between the king’s forces and those resisting them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in epic fantasy with magic, rebellion, and a royal antagonist.
  • Readers who enjoy fantasy plots that combine a rescue mission with romantic tension.
  • Fans of stories featuring a secretive rebel leader and gods who watch events unfold.

Book overview

"His eyes returned to mine, that invisible tether between us strung too tight.That magnetic pull, it was unbreakable, unyielding. Eternal.And it demanded that we collide."

 

On the secluded continent of Edenvale, possessing magic is a death sentence. Those who have it are labelled Cursed, and by order of the king, they are Cleansed-a horrific event utilizing a hot, hungry pyre and an iron collar. Enemy to the king, a group known as the Cursed rebels defend their lands from his reach, creating an ongoing, bloodthirsty war.

When Sage's brother is conscripted for the war, she is forced to trade in her cozy, peaceful cottage life and join the Cursed rebels to get him back. Her mission seems straightforward, but Von, the leader of the Cursed rebels, comes riddled with dark secrets. With his otherworldly eyes, black as a starless night, and a taste for juicy thigh-ahem-red apples, Sage knows better than to get involved with a guy like him. But knowing and doing are two very different things.

Together with the Cursed rebels and Von, the king of inky deals and sexy, stolen moments, Sage embarks on the quest of a lifetime.

Little does she know that fate is at work and the gods are watching her every move.

 

For dark romantasy readers looking for a love story that transcends lifetimes.
