A princess’s forced marriage to a dangerously seductive prince becomes a life-and-death alliance in an exhilarating adventure by Sariah Wilson, the USA Today bestselling author of A Tribute of Fire.
Lia is always prepared for battle, but being blackmailed into marriage by Prince Alexandros is a challenge too far. She has no choice. He’s holding her sister hostage to force her hand. But with this union built on betrayal and rage comes a contract. By the goddess’s law, the marriage must not be consummated. A relief to Lia. She’d rather commit regicide than fall into bed with a man she loathes.
There is one other saving grace. Marriage gives Lia access to the palace and a chance to uncover the truth about the treasured eye of the goddess—and the magic it holds. But something inexplicable and impossible to ignore soon binds Lia and the prince. By night they walk in each other’s dreams, and by day they share each other’s pain.
As longing and trust grow between Lia and Alexandros and inhibited desires are set free, outside forces rise against them, posing an ever-present danger. Not only to the throne but to their very lives.
The series
In a kingdom scorched by divine punishment and fractured by ancient rivalry, survival depends not on strength—but on sacrifice.
Read full series description
The Eye of the Goddess invites readers into a richly imagined world shaped by prophecy, cruelty, and the volatile favor of capricious gods. At its heart is Lia of Locris, a princess bound by duty and defiance, thrust into a brutal race meant to appease a goddess’s wrath. The journey that begins as ritual quickly unravels into something far more treacherous, as Lia uncovers buried magic, forbidden alliances, and a legacy too dangerous to remain hidden.
Set against the backdrop of two clashing nations—one carved from unforgiving desert, the other wrapped in political intrigue—the series balances mythic stakes with deeply personal struggles. It's a story where nothing is quite as it seems: enemies share dreams, loyalty wears many faces, and even love becomes a weapon when survival is uncertain.
Tension simmers beneath every encounter, especially as Lia navigates reluctant partnerships and an arranged marriage that threatens to unravel the fragile peace between empires. With each twist, the world expands—revealing not only the power of ancient relics and lost truths, but also the resilience of a heroine who refuses to be defined by fate alone.
Darkly romantic and threaded with myth, The Eye of the Goddess offers a slow-burning tale of destiny, sacrifice, and the dangerous truths that lie beneath divine devotion. It's a fantasy that lingers—equal parts grit and grace—for readers drawn to stories where the gods watch closely, and mortals dare to look back.
