War of the Zodiacs Book 1

Sorsha has been surviving in the Expanse since her banishment from Firahs. With her only friend, Astros the two have each other’s backs. But in the middle of an attack, the High Lord Venix takes her back to Firahs. He needs something from her and will use any means to get it. But Sorsha isn't alone and will not go quietly into captivity, and her dragon won’t allow it either.

This is the first book in War of the Zodiacs. Sorsha has been hardened by her banishment. She is a good fighter and with a sharp tongue that she uses like a weapon. Venix is used to getting what he wants. But is quickly learning there are more ways to achieving his goals. This world is filled with magic, fae, dragons, and different courts, all so beautiful in their descriptions. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading the next book, A Throne So Broken.

“Destiny was written in the stars…

In a world where the fae zodiac courts were ruled by celestial law and dragon fire, kindness was a myth and survival a privilege Sorsha had never been granted. Banished and branded a threat, she was dragged back to the courts by Venix. The fae who had once shared her secrets, her trust, and something akin to first love… until he shattered it with a single unforgivable betrayal.

The past they had shared had no place in the present. Venix now commanded the Fire Court, where dragons plagued the skies and war threatened the land. His loyalty to his court was as ruthless as the flames that had forged him. Sorsha had believed he was once a friend to her, and now he believed she was nothing more than a pawn in his game.

But even pawns could bring a king to his knees.

Both had bled for the choices they’d made, and both would bleed for the ones still to come. When the zodiac courts began to fracture, their fates were tied in ways neither of them had asked for. They were forced into a dangerous alliance built on half-truths and betrayals waiting to happen. Venix would have to choose whether he was her captor, her protector, or the blade at her back. Sorsha would have to decide what she would become… a victim of fate or something far darker than the stars had ever intended.

…may the stars forever be kind.”
