What Keeps Us Coming Back to Historical Fiction?
Have you ever finished a historical novel and immediately looked up the real events behind...
See moreThe hotly anticipated sequel to romantasy debut MALACHITE.
'I need you, whole and breathing. Alive. It took me six hundred years to find you. But my people don't have that much time left.'
After narrowly escaping death at the hands of Achātēs, the Star who killed her brother, Arianell comes to in an unfamiliar place. Her captor - the man with onyx eyes - wants to strike a bargain with Aria: he will teach her to harness the terrifying potential of her true nature, and she will help him in return.
Yet the task he sets her seems impossible, and Aria is desperate to get back to Valmora - back to Sebastian.
All Sebastian can think about is finding Aria, but the Academy is in chaos, and their friends are in danger. Seb knows that Achātēs will be back to finish what he started, and they must be ready - even if it means working with an unlikely ally.
Everything Arianell and Sebastian thought they knew about magic has been altered, and the fate of Valmora rests in their hands. Not even the Stars themselves are prepared for what comes next ...
A fast-paced romantasy sequel that truly delivers, taking what readers loved about Malachite to new heights with epic world-building, insane twists, a new and dangerously charismatic MMC, an adorable magical creature, and tension that is FIRE. Obsidian promises more slow-burn, reluctant allies, forced proximity, found family, elemental magic, hidden power, star-crossed lovers, and spice. If you devoured Malachite, you NEED Obsidian.
