As the princess of Veridea, nineteen-year-old Thora Ravenspire has never been the daughter her father wanted. In a kingdom ruled by cruelty and control, her quiet strength and compassionate heart are seen as weaknesses. But when her father's tyranny threatens the lives of the innocent people of Veridea, Thora makes a choice that will change everything and ignite a war she can't turn back from.

On the run and hunted by the man who raised her, Thora must rise as a symbol of resistance and awaken a power buried deep within her bloodline. Alongside Eryk, a fierce rebel with unwavering loyalty, she begins to fight not just for freedom, but for justice, healing, and a future forged by hope instead of fear. As rebellion swells and ancient magic stirs, Thora must decide what she's willing to sacrifice to do what's right... even if it means losing everything.

Perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone and Throne of Glass, The Rose and the Reaper is a dark and emotional fantasy debut about courage, love, and the cost of reclaiming a broken world.
