Isle of Wrath

A forgotten prophecy. A 300-year-old curse. And two people bound by a goddess to break it . . . if the bond doesn't break them first.

In Lunaris, everyone trades their memories for asylum. No one remembers their past, their homeland, or the curse that trapped them behind a wall of darkness called the Shroud. But they don't dare break the rules set upon them.

Ada Acevedo has spent years hiding her healing gift and keeping her head down. But when her twin brother is struck by a poisoned arrow, she breaks the most dangerous rule of all. She bargains with the goddess of death to save his life. She didn't expect the goddess to send Malachi Bain—an infuriating warrior—to collect. Much less to be soul-bound to him until she repays what she owes. Now Ada has no choice but to help him do the impossible: lift the Shroud and break the curse that's kept Lunaris hidden from the rest of the realm for three hundred years.

As she's pulled deeper into a world of forbidden prophecies and buried secrets, Ada discovers a devastating truth. Lunaris isn't the paradise she always thought it was. It's a cage. And on the other side, a monster is lurking—waiting for the Shroud to fall.

Waiting for her.

This was fantastic! Wow!! Completely, blew me away! This is book one and it ends on a cliffhanger, but the next book is said to release this fall!🤞🏻This book takes place in Lunaris, where everyone has traded their memories for asylum. No one remembers their past, homelands, or the 300 year curse that has trapped them all behind a wall of darkness called the Shroud. We follow Ada, who has been hiding her healing abilities, until her twin is struck by a poisonous arrow. She makes a bargain with a goddess to save his life. The goddess sends a warrior to collect, and have soul-bound them until she repays that debt. This book had so many twists & turns, and was so atmospheric! I can’t wait for book two!
