Love can give you something worth fighting for. Revenge gives you something worth burning the world down for.
In Julieanna Mac’s Born from the Broken, six years ago Elira’s husband gambled their unborn twins in the Quadrant Trials. He thought he was outsmarting them, until he died screaming and the empire took her children anyway. Now Elira has entered the Trials herself, determined to burn the world down to get them back. But the man who kept her alive—the protector she was falling for despite every vow she made—has been lying the whole time. With trust scarce and survival far from guaranteed, Elira must decide who to trust and whether getting back what was stolen from her is worth losing herself.
In L.K. Steven’s Turncloak, revenge drove Saffron Killoran to go undercover in the Bloodmoon gang. But now, with any chance of retribution gone, she sees only one path forward: harnessing a long-dormant power to fix her ruinous mistakes. Meanwhile, the new kingpin of the Bloodmoons knows Saffron’s true identity as a Silvercloak—and her goal of bringing his empire down. As old wounds resurface and fresh enemies close in, Saffron is caught in a game of trust and betrayal, and must decide where her loyalties lie—and whether her quest to unmake time itself is worth becoming a villain to the whole world.
In Sarah Gallego’s Throne of the Wolf Queen, Queen Sorrow has survived monsters, a coup and defied the gods. Yet now she faces not just an army, but the man who holds her heart. Matthias was once Sorrow’s shelter and her strength; now he is a weapon in the cruel hands of the empress, hunting her without mercy. Sorrow will do whatever it takes to reclaim her stolen throne and save the man who still makes her burn. But time is running out, and when there is nowhere left to run, she must discover whether love can save them both—or whether the bond between them will obliterate their kingdom.
