The epic conclusion to the intensely romantic and beautifully written story that started in Divine Rivals.Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance. When Iris and Attie are given another chance to report on Dacre’s movements, they both take the opportunity and head westward once more despite the danger, knowing it’s only a matter of time before the conflict reaches a city that’s unprepared and fracturing beneath the chancellor’s reign.Since waking below in Dacre’s realm, Roman cannot remember his past. But given the reassurance that his memories will return in time, Roman begins to write articles for Dacre, uncertain of his place in the greater scheme of the war. When a strange letter arrives by wardrobe door, Roman is first suspicious, then intrigued. As he strikes up a correspondence with his mysterious pen pal, Roman will soon have to make a decision: to stand with Dacre or betray the god who healed him. And as the days grow darker, inevitably drawing Roman and Iris closer together...the two of them will risk their very hearts and futures to change the tides of the war.

"This book was the perfect book to start the new year with!! It was so good! I was a little bit worried that my expectations might be way too high, but this book did not disappoint! It's so well written, it's a bit emotional at times, and the characters are great and so lovable! Such a beautiful book! 10/10 would recommend!"
"This one was good. There are lots of people who love this duo-logy. I enjoy it but honestly I find them a little tedious. They are beautifully written and the imagery is stunning but the story is slow, the action is pretty underwhelming and I am not gripped by the love story. I liked the pace of this one more than the first. Overall if you appreciate the style of writing you might fall in love. For me they are good not great. "
"I was very excited to read the sequel to “Divine Rivals”, and it did not disappoint. The love stories that are woven in the plot are beautiful and complex. I love the addition of a few new characters. There was plenty of action to keep me engaged and picked up right where the first book left off. I enjoyed the bits of magic, gods, war, strategy, friendship, and diving deeper into the motivations of certain characters. I thought Ross did an excellent job of concluding duology and I look forward to reading other works. 4.5/5"
"Beautiful conclusion to the duology. It brings all the horror of living in a war without glorifying the violence of it. I found myself feeling with the characters and having my heart ripped out with them. It did feel like it was trying to rehash the original love story instead of continue it, but I quickly got over that when the book progressed further. 8/10."
