FEATURE FRIDAY: Daughter of the Drowned Empire by Frankie Diane Mallis

I’m still in an awful slump, so after my current read, I’ll be diving into Daughter of the Drowned Empire by Frankie Diane Mallis. I haven’t read a romantasy in a while, so I’m pretty excited!

“To survive is to sacrifice your own heart.

Lady Lyriana Batavia is third in line to the Seat of Power in Bamaria. And with the most eligible bachelor and master mage, Lord Tristan Grey, soon to be her fiancé – life is perfect.

But at the ceremony that should have revealed her power, she uncovers something else entirely – Lyr is powerless. Faced with uncertainty, Lyr has no choice but to accept a deadly offer. She has seven months to train as one of the kingdom’s most brutal warriors – the Sotrui – and survive training at the academy.

Now, Lyr must earn her place in Bamaria and train with the exiled Lord Rhyan Hart—the man she has secretly loved since she was a girl—and a feared warrior, forbidden to her in every way. For Lyr, surviving training may mean sacrificing her own heart.

Daughter of the Drowned Empire is the first in a sensational romantic series featuring a riches-to-rags heroine, dangerous court politics, and a forbidden slow-burn romance. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Danielle L. Jensen, and Rebecca Yarros.”

𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 is a paranormal romance. It is the first book in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 series releasing on October 17th. 

What is 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 about? Well, here is its back cover!

What secrets do we keep to protect the one we love? What lies do we tell, and what are we willing to sacrifice?

Karter Quint has the perfect life: star athlete, gifted pianist, straight A-student, handsome and charismatic, he seems fated for success. What nobody knows is that he has battled debilitating episodes during which a strange force invades his mind and body. The only place where Karter truly feels at ease is at his grandfather’s house on the water in Cliff Island, Maine. There, he meets a mysterious girl named Ella and has an instant obsession. He learns that she is a Meridian, or mermaid. Karter and Ella find themselves connected on a higher level—a level that neither understands.

They begin a heated and intense romance constrained by their limiting circumstances. However, loving Ella comes at a cost. Karter must take extreme measures of secrecy to protect her, straining relationships with his family and friends well into his adult life.

𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 is an emotional and epic love story, and the first in a paranormal romance series, that will keep you guessing until the very end.
