Bookseller recommendation

“A war between gods and monsters is brewing in the City of Dusk. With the throne in question and the alliances between the Nobel houses on pins and needles, the line between good, evil, darkness, and monsters becomes blurred as the four heirs of the four gods question everything they've known. But, unfortunately, there will always be a price to pay for power...This is a great first installment in a series with dark academia vibes, good representation through a diverse cast, and an intricate magic system. This book has YA/adult crossover potential.”
— Anna • The Well-Read Moose

Summary
About the author

This dark epic fantasy follows the heirs of four noble houses—each gifted with a divine power—as they form a tenuous alliance to keep their kingdom from descending into a realm-shattering war.

The Four Realms—Life, Death, Light, and Darkness—all converge on the city of dusk. For each realm there is a god, and for each god there is an heir.

But the gods have withdrawn their favor from the once vibrant and thriving city. And without it, all the realms are dying.

Unwilling to stand by and watch the destruction, the four heirs—Risha, a necromancer struggling to keep the peace; Angelica, an elementalist with her eyes set on the throne; Taesia, a shadow-wielding rogue with rebellion in her heart; and Nik, a soldier who struggles to see the light—will sacrifice everything to save the city.

But their defiance will cost them dearly.
