LIMITED FIRST PRINT RUN featuring gorgeous sprayed edges, metallic ink, and designed endpapers. This first edition is available for a limited time and while supplies last.
Rune Ryker has nothing left to lose. Everything’s been stolen by the Immortals—her family, her home, her freedom. But she’s done playing by their rules.
Each year, humans are forced to journey into the Immortal Realms, but twenty-year-old Rune orchestrates her own selection, determined to find her family and destroy anyone who stands in her way. Rune is used to doing whatever it takes to survive, and now she must endure the Forge, a cutthroat college for the Immortal druids’ elusive tarot magic. When Rune’s magic reveals itself to be the rarest and most powerful, she must live with its only other wielder—Prince Draven. As arrogant as he is ruthlessly ambitious, he’s the last person she can trust.
Rune’s abilities also draw the eyes of the most dangerous druids in the realms. Some want to use her. More want her dead. Draven offers to train her . . . for a price. As Rune becomes ensnared in Draven’s dangerous games, she learns there are secrets at the heart of the kingdom that some will kill to protect.
And Rune and Draven’s growing attraction may be the spark to ignite a brewing war.

This book has been on my shelf and tbr for a few months and it did not disappoint. I read it in a few days The magic system, the politics and dynamics between the mortals, druids, seraph, and elves was super interesting. Draven as a character. Yes. Strong and patient. Rune, unfortunately got a bit annoying with her one track mind. At one point she called draven self centered, but really its her. 🤣 she has no understanding of their positions and really ends up making it worse for everyone. Although this is marketed as dark academia, the learning and school portion was only a minor part of the story. This is also a revenge story, but there was a lot going on and what felt like many plot lines that never fully went in any direction. I also enjoyed the plot twists although the last one in particular felt like an attempt at a cliffhanger to get us to the second book. I was a bit disappointed in how easily they were bested but it works because now I need to read the next book to see how it all plays out.
