Shadow Trials: An Epic Slowburn Romantasy (Heartless Gods Book 1)

About this book

In a world where humanity is treated as livestock by the Godforged—monstrous beings created to wage divine warfare—Fiona lives in the shadows, armed with stolen magic and a desperate mission to protect her people. When the God of Darkness announces a brutal competition to appoint a new champion, Fiona seizes the opportunity to infiltrate the ranks of her oppressors. If she wins, she gains control over the very army threatening her existence. However, the path to victory is paved with lethal trials, and the discovery of her hidden powers would mean certain death. Enter Azric Cyrus, the God of Death’s formidable champion and the most feared of the Godforged. With his bone-chilling wings and seductive, shadowed allure, he is everything Fiona has been trained to despise. Yet, as they navigate the treacherous politics of the trials, their paths collide in a tense, slow-burn dance of suspicion and begrudging attraction. Perfect for fans of high-stakes romantasy, this enemies-to-lovers tale explores the fragile trust between two broken souls caught in a divine game. As destinies shift and secrets unravel, Fiona and Azric must decide if their growing bond is a weapon for survival or the ultimate betrayal.
