About the author

Rachel Rigsby is a small-town girl creating worlds far bigger than hers. Worlds filled with formidable women and their fiery romances. She lives in Virginia with her family and more dogs than she’ll admit to. When she isn’t writing, she’s in a bookstore feeding her very expensive book-buying habit. The rest of her time goes to hiking, traveling, and nurturing a growing houseplant collection she long ago ran out of space for.

Reviews

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve read a lot of fantasy and romantasy, and I can honestly say I’ve never read anything quite like this. The world feels completely original, and the characters don’t fit into the usual molds. They’re messy, funny, and real. The banter had me laughing out loud more than once, and the spice definitely delivers. I finished this book fully obsessed and I'm already impatient for the next one.

This book is legitimately insane in the best way. It's chonky! But I still flew thru it and wanted more!
