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. 

Review:

Fierce, spicy, and action-packed!

Fall of Ruin and Wrath is a suspenseful, seductive tale that takes us to a world where the wrath of gods has left only nine cities remaining and where the orphan, Calista (Lis), with the power of intuition, lives her days comfortably as one of the Baron of Archwood’s courtesans until her life gets turned upside down when she saves a Hyhborn prince from the hands of some ruthless mortals, the attraction between them is hot enough to burn them both, and a rebellion is brewing right around the corner.

The prose is intense and passionate. The characters are complex, unique, and gifted. And the plot is a riveting tale of twists, turns, passion, angst, fury, loyalty, heartbreak, duty, sizzling tension, violence, secrets, mysterious pasts, and supernatural abilities.

Overall, Fall of Ruin and Wrath is an imaginative, gripping, highly entertaining tale by Armentrout that is brimming with grit, determination, bloody battles, heat, sexual chemistry, adventure, gods, healers, and other magical elements. It kept me invested and engaged from the very first page, and with its cliffhanger-type ending, has undoubtedly left me counting down the days until I have the opportunity to read the next novel in the Awakening series to discover how this epic battle might end.
