This is a continuation from where Cross Her Heart left off.

"You made me king. I’ll make you my queen."
It wasn’t a vow. It wasn’t love. It was her sentence. Her punishment.

Bronwen thought killing the first vampire would end it all—the nightmare that stole her parents, her future, even her heart. But Carrow was never truly gone. His shadow is rising, and every step forward drags her deeper into the truth she never saw coming.

Now she is trapped in a race against time with August at her side.
August, who is dangerous, unstable, and relentless.
August, who crowned her his queen not out of devotion but out of vengeance.
August, who might be the only thing standing between her and ruin.

Every secret they uncover knots them tighter together. Every touch burns hotter, sharper. Love and hate bleeding into something far more dangerous. Bronwen knows she should run from him.

But she also knows she never will.

Lexi Hodges

In the ever-expanding world of fantasy romance, Lexi Hodges has carved out a space where magic pulses through every page, and love is as fierce as the battles fought to protect it. Her War of Her Heart series—a saga marked by emotional intensity, elemental power, and complex characters—didn’t just appear overnight. It began, like all great stories, with a quiet spark: a young woman who found solace in imagining worlds that broke the rules of reality but honored the truths of the heart.

First gaining traction with the 2024 release of War of Her Heart, Hodges quickly captured the attention of readers drawn to stories that blend high-stakes fantasy with gut-wrenching romance. Her heroines don’t simply fall in love—they bleed for it. They fight through trauma, betrayal, and war, emerging stronger in the ruins. It's this balance of vulnerability and resilience that has resonated with thousands of readers, propelling her books to strong ratings on platforms like Goodreads and building a loyal fanbase across TikTok and Instagram.

Though Hodges keeps much of her personal life private, her social media presence offers glimpses into her creative process—late-night writing sessions, soundtracks that score her scenes, and candid reflections on what it means to write stories that hurt and heal at the same time. Fans often say her books feel like confessions—raw, personal, and cathartic.

As the War of Her Heart universe expands with sequels like Cross Her Heart and the anticipated Break Her Heart, due in October 2025, Hodges continues to explore themes of power, redemption, and the cost of survival. Her writing style is immersive and emotionally charged, favoring rich internal monologue and sweeping fantasy landscapes. It’s not just romance with magic—it’s romance forged through magic, war, and pain.

Lexi Hodges may still be at the beginning of her publishing journey, but her stories are already leaving deep marks on a genre known for intensity. She writes for the reader who’s ever loved someone like it was a battle—and who knows that, sometimes, the most dangerous war is the one waged in your own heart.

War of Her Heart

In a land divided by loyalty and ruled by the Seven Sovereigns, War of Her Heart pulls readers into a world where love dares to bloom in the shadows of ancient laws and ruthless power. This romantasy series doesn’t just flirt with danger—it dances in the heart of it, weaving forbidden desire into a landscape steeped in political tension, fae intrigue, and emotional upheaval.

At the center is Violet, a girl with a rare affliction—one that makes her heart beat differently, and not just in the medical sense. Her quiet life in the Mountain Realm fractures when her secret love, Sovereign Calum, is forced into an alliance with the Night Realm, leaving Violet behind with only whispered promises. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. Drawn into a world of dark courts and colder truths, Violet finds herself under the gaze of a man both feared and worshipped: the Night Sovereign. And he has questions about her heart that go far beyond affection.

What sets this series apart isn’t just its high-stakes romance or the slow burn of betrayal and longing—it’s the tension threaded through every page, the ache of choices no one should have to make, and a heroine who learns that survival might mean surrendering to a war she never wanted to fight.

With lush world-building, morally gray love interests, and themes of resilience, identity, and desire, War of Her Heart carves its own path through the romantasy genre. Fans of ACOTAR and Fourth Wing will feel echoes here, but the story’s emotional depth and unexpected twists stand firmly on their own. This is not just a war between realms—it’s a war between duty and devotion, fate and freedom, and the heart’s quietest, fiercest call.
