What to expect
The New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!
She might be deadly, but she is not their weapon. This “sweeping romantasy” (Sable Sorensen, New York Times bestselling author of Dire Bound) is brimming with romance, deadly stakes, and unforgettable magic. “Not to be missed!” (Gretchen Powell Fox, author of Smoke and Scar) Includes two bonus scenes!
Survivor. Rebel. Weapon.
Leina has spent a lifetime submitting, starving amid wheat fields reserved for the king, standing by while his men crush her loved ones. When soldiers come for her brother, her divine fury erupts in a bloody massacre.
She expects to be executed for her crimes—her people have met bloody ends for far, far less. Instead, Ryot, a gods-blessed warrior born to privilege, delivers her to a military fortress renowned for its brutality.
There, a gift from a goddess drags Leina into a realm of war, where her survival depends on her ability to ride a winged horse.
As Ryot pushes her to master the power she never asked for, a battle rages within her heart. Each lesson, every touch, binds them tighter—but love is a dangerous weakness in a world designed for war.
Soon, Leina must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to protect the family she has found…and the one she left behind. Because while her divine gift could save the kingdom, it could also shatter its very foundation.
With immersive lush writing, an unflinching heroine, and an inventive fantasy world, Kissed by the Gods is the gripping fantasy debut you won’t want to miss.
Featuring iconic romance tropes:
- He falls first
- Forbidden romance
- Found family
- Trial by combat
- She saves him
- Spicy slow burn
- Feminine rage
