Description
Twisted Souls is a romantasy told in the dual POV of Zara and Xavier. Zara is pulled into the dangerous world of the Fae and into the arms of the brooding king, Xavier, where desire, vengeance, and betrayal threaten to unravel both of their realms. She must work with him and his brother to restore their magic and stop the witches before it’s too late.
This is book one in the Twisted Souls Series.
Full Book Blurb:
"You're going to be the ruin of me..."
When Zara mysteriously gains new abilities that land her in the arms of Xavier, the dark and brooding Fae King of Nexia, she uncovers secrets that could shatter both worlds. With his magic stolen and his soul fractured, Xavier must find a way to restore his power before his kingdom falls to ruin.
As bloodthirsty witches mounted on their monstrous Daka destroy villages in Nexia, rumors spread of their long-lost queen’s return.
Torn between Xavier's seductive allure and his brother Jaxon's deceptive charm, Zara is caught in a dangerous game of lust and loyalty. Both men harbor dark secrets, and as the boundaries between love and betrayal blur, Zara finds herself at the center of a war—where nothing is as it seems.
As time runs out, Zara must work with Xavier and Jaxon to repair their fractured magic and stop the witches before they destroy both realms. But Zara carries a secret of her own—one that could change everything.
Even the fates are watching.
Twisted Souls is a romantasy perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, and From Blood and Ash, blending romance, magic, and high-stakes tension in a dual POV tale.
Tropes include enemies to lovers, found family, fated mates, forced proximity, betrayal, and a cliffhanger that will leave readers wanting more.
A Note From the Publisher
Book 2, Twisted Fates, is currently anticipated for release in 2026.
Advance Praise
"I would give this book 10 stars if I could. The ending: INSANITY. I have not been this shocked and caught off guard by an ending since I read Fourth Wing! This is an author and series to read. The writing was fluid, intriguing, and the FMC/MMC tension was delicious!"
-Verified Goodreads review
"Can someone please come get my jaw up off the floor?! Oh my god. What did I even just read?! THAT ENDING. THATS A DAMN PLOT TWIST. I will need 3-5 business days to process but I will say- LOVED this book. Like holy cow did I love this book! I need the next one ASAP please"
-Verified Goodreads review
"Mark my words, this book deserves the hype of Fourth Wing and then some. When (not if, because I know it’s gonna happen) this book goes viral, know I recommended this and tried to get you in this author’s corner before her fame....I genuinely can’t recommend this book enough. This might already be my book of the year. To the author—thank you for reminding me why I love reading."
-Verified Goodreads review
