The Mortal Trials
by Megan Shunmagum
Debut
Full Synopsis
A new dark and spicy epic romantasy debut, perfect for fans of Shield of Sparrows and Rose in Chains.
Every decade, thirteen humans from the Isles of Tarlor are forced to compete in a series of challenges called the Mortal Trials. Hosted by the elven, each one is more dangerous than the last. If you lose, you’re dead. But winning means immortality and everlasting glory – a feat only ever accomplished by one person.
Mistaken for someone else, Lirah is thrust into a foreign land to compete for her life. Survival won’t be easy, but she’s paired with a powerful mentor, Kilian Valhan, who is tasked with guiding her through the Trials.
Everything about Kilian is infuriating. He is brooding, intimidating and purposefully provoking. Even then, Lirah cannot deny the flame of attraction that burns bright between them.
The gods are stirring, and dark secrets will draw Lirah into the underbelly of elven conspiracy. And though enduring the Trials might tempt death, falling in love will prove fatal.

The Book:
Dominion
by Jean Kwok
Full Synopsis
A woman with no past. A warrior with no future. Their love could save the world—or burn it down.

In a world divided into four rival dominions, power is everything—and Rubi Morningtail has almost none. Three years after the Annihilation destroyed her homeland and shattered her memories, she lives as an Azure refugee in the Dominion of the Silver Tyger, scraping by as a ribbon dancer and hiding her little bit of singing magic. When she wounds a massive battle tyger on her doorstep, she draws the notice of Blake Axefire—supreme metal mage, leader of the royal Tyger Warriors, and the last man an Azure should trust. His sentence? Cast her into the Bonding, a brutal trial where tygers choose their riders and slaughter the rest. Surviving is unthinkable.
But survive she does. Now she’s stuck on Blake’s elite team racing to reseal the Anchors to the Demon Realm. With rebels striking, demons rising, and the dominions at each other’s throats, Rubi must unlock the truth of her magic and her past…while resisting her dangerous attraction to the ruthless warrior who could be her redemption—or her ruin.

Hint #3
The Book:
The Winged Game
by Sophie Kim
Full Synopsis
Fantasy meets sports romance in this sizzling slow-burn novel in which the disgraced star of a brutal magical sport must team up with the rival who destroyed her career, from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The God and the Gumiho.
Carriwitchet, the violent, rugby-esque game played atop winged beasts, was once Taissa Cho’s whole life, and she was once the United Kingdom’s most promising player. Until her nemesis, rival player Kion Locke, destroyed her career in a single moment. Expelled from the sport in disgrace, Taissa has spent the last two years dreaming of nothing but revenge and relishing watching Kion’s team plummet to the bottom of the league.
So when Taissa is offered the chance to redeem herself andher career, she can’t refuse—even if the offer is coming from the very man who ruined everything in the first place. It’s close to a dream come true . . . except for that pesky clause in her contract that demands she and Kion enter a fake relationship in order to garner some much-needed positive PR for the team. This could not be a worse match. Taissa and Kion only have two things in common: their love of the game, and their undying hatred for each other.
Yet as a mysterious illness befalls the winged creatures of the entire league—putting both the beasts’ lives and the very sport itself at stake—the athletes find themselves partnering up in other ways, determined to crack the case of the eerie sickness. As their investigation takes them on a whirlwind adventure, Kion and Taissa are prepared for anything . . .
Anything, that is, but their fake-for-the-cameras relationship to maybe, just maybe, become something real after all.
