LIMITED FIRST PRINT RUN―featuring sprayed edges with a stenciled design. This stunning first edition is available for a limited time only.

For fans of YA romantasy series like Alex Aster’s Lightlark and Lauren Roberts’ Powerless, Tiktok sensation Sasha E. Sloan’s sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Ruins Beneath Us is perfect for readers craving an escape into a sweeping romantasy realm where danger lurks in every shadow and love has the power to destroy empires.

Fate binds them. War divides them.

After years of hiding, Lyria is desperate to prove herself a capable member of the resistance. Branded a traitor, she carries a secret even the rebels refuse to reveal: she is the prophesied Heir of Evermore, foretold to resurrect the ancient elven kingdom. But when a rescue mission meant to prove her leadership spirals into disaster, Lyria’s path to ascension unravels, exposing a magical connection to Prince Finn— the boy who betrayed her and heir to the empire she’s sworn to destroy.

Determined to reclaim her destiny, Lyria embarks on a journey to challenge the prophecy that chains her. Each step north uncovers a gauntlet of trials and deceptions, while an uneasy alliance with Cygnus challenges everything she knows about duty, honor, and sacrifice. After an unpredictable new enemy emerges with a plan that could change everything, Lyria must decide whether destiny is something to follow… or something to defy.
