Signed Faces

by Elowen Daire

The search for a prophet was supposed to reveal the future. Instead, it uncovers the past.

After finally finding each other, Dina and Zeron set out on a new journey, determined to find the mysterious prophet whose words could change the fate of their world.

But the road is anything but simple.

An old betrayal threatens to tear their companions apart. A girl from Zeron's past forces him to confront the darkest chapter of his life. And when jealousy drives Dina away, they both discover that love can be far more fragile than either of them believed.

As danger grows and enemies close in, Zeron must face the wounds he has hidden for years, while Dina is forced to discover a strength she never knew she possessed.

Some scars fade, and others become part of who we are.

Signed Faces is the breathtaking second installment of the Perubia series, blending slow-burn romance, adventure, emotional healing, found family, and high-stakes fantasy into a story about choosing each other. Again.

About the author

I write emotionally and morally grounded romantasy.
I don’t write smut, and I don’t really write what people usually label as “spice” either. At the same time, I don’t consider intimacy something shameful or something that must be erased from stories completely.
I see myself as an artist first, not someone trying to follow market trends. And because of that, if the natural emotional progression of a story reaches a point where a love scene truly belongs, then I write it. But I never write graphic scenes for shock value or include them simply for their own sake.
My stories often deal with difficult things, much like life does.
I never romanticize toxic relationships.

I loved this book as much as the first one, maybe even more than the first book. This book continues from where the first one ended after Zeron and Dina are reunited. They start looking for the new prophet and at the same time get to know each other better.

I love how their love blossomed and the concept of found family they share with their friends. I would've loved to have more going on with the prophet and the magic that goes on. I hope there is a third book in the making.

Thank you for the opportunity. This is a 4.5 star read for me.

I received an ARC from the Author and am happy to give my honest review!

This is a great follow up to FORCED FACES! Was so happy to revisit Zeron, one of my favorite characters, along with Dina and the rest of their found family.

The story was well paced with great action. They are reunited with Zuiya (Zeron's adopted child) and are delivered some stunning twists with her reappearance.

Over all, it was a good time and I loved the ending!!

Picking up right where we left off previously, Zeron and Dina continue their journey only to met with an adversary they hadn't expected. This one moment changes so many things so quickly and sets their journey off to a new destination. Multiple times you'll experience progress, deterioration and then a slow repair of foundations and it's done beautiful well. I missed Zeron's excessive banter and it's definitely back in full swing.

I received an arc of this book and I am happy to leave my honest review!

This continued straight where the first book left as Zeron and Dina's journey continues to unravel. It was a very easy to read book, descriptive with some interesting plot twists that I didn't expect. The ending was simple but still impactful and I'm curious to see what will happen to this found family.
