A Curse of Ashes
For a princess, becoming the savior of a nation could mean sacrificing love and life in this breathtaking conclusion to the epic Eye of the Goddess trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Sariah Wilson.
Princess Lia of Locris is the unlikeliest person to be Ilion’s defender. Once, she’d have gladly seen the entire adversarial nation burn. But much has changed. Ilion is home to too many innocents, including her sister. Besides, there is no escaping the goddess’s command. Lia is Ilion’s prophesied savior.
With that mortal obligation come rules: She must never consummate her marriage to Xander, prince of Ilion, lest she lose her powers of divine magic when she needs them most. Physically bonded to share each other’s pain, these former enemies have grown from merely attracted to something more profound. But what future can they have when Lia’s destiny requires sacrificing her life?
As enemies close in and war threatens everything they love, Lia and Xander must find a way to follow the goddess’s laws while also accepting the truth in their hearts—before the prophecy demands its final, fatal price.

Sariah Wilson
Sariah Wilson didn’t set out to become one of the most beloved voices in romantic comedy and contemporary romance—but somewhere between penning swoon-worthy meet-cutes and exploring the unpredictable heart of human connection, she carved out a space all her own. Known for crafting emotionally rich, laugh-out-loud love stories with a fresh, modern twist, Wilson’s novels resonate with readers looking for both charm and depth.
Raised in Southern California, Wilson’s lifelong obsession with fairy tales and happy endings evolved into a fascination with the everyday magic of love stories—especially the kind where sparks fly in awkward silences, stolen glances, and unexpected moments of vulnerability. Her debut, Desire of Our Hearts, appeared in 2007 and hinted at the voice she would become: earnest, witty, and endlessly curious about what makes relationships tick.
The Eye of the Goddess
In a kingdom scorched by divine punishment and fractured by ancient rivalry, survival depends not on strength—but on sacrifice.
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.
The Eye of the Goddess consists of three books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
