“If you're looking for a fantasy romance that will hook you from the start, pick up this book! Calista, our badass heroine, is a gifted mind reader born with extraordinary powers. Thorne, our courageous, charming prince matches her for wit. They meet when Calista saves Thorne from near death after the prince was captured while investigating dissent around the area. One of my favorite JLO novels! It has amazingly developed characters with great high fantasy world building and I couldn't put it down!”

“Jennifer L. Armentrout's newest book takes you for an enchanting and seductive ride. This book deeply captivated me and the magical world building. Once I started this, I could not put it down. The main character, Calista, is everything I wanted: fierce, stubborn, brave, and mysterious. I was racing through to get answers and to see what was going to happen next. If you are a fan of ACOTAR, I encourage you to pick up this book and immerse yourself in the adventure. ”

SHE LIVES BY HER INTUITION. HE FEEDS ON HER PLEASURE.
From Jennifer L. Armentrout, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash, comes the beginning of a searing fantasy romance for adults, Fall of Ruin and Wrath.
Long ago, the world was destroyed by gods. Only nine cities were spared. Separated by vast wilderness teeming with monsters and unimaginable dangers, each city is now ruled by a guardian—royalty who feed on mortal pleasure.
Born with an intuition that never fails, Calista knows her talents are of great value to the power-hungry of the world, so she lives hidden as a courtesan of the Baron of Archwood. In exchange for his protection, she grants him information.
When her intuition leads her to save a traveling prince in dire trouble, the voice inside her blazes with warning—and promise. Today he’ll bring her joy. One day he'll be her doom.
When the Baron takes an interest in the traveling prince and the prince takes an interest in Calista, she becomes the prince’s temporary companion. But the city simmers with rebellion, and with knights and monsters at her city gates and a hungry prince in her bed, intuition may not be enough to keep her safe.
Calista must choose: follow her intuition to safety or follow her heart to her downfall.
Breathtaking suspense and scorching romance meet in this immersive new fantasy from a mega-bestselling force, Jennifer L. Armentrout.
A Macmillan Audio production from Bramble.
