Elorie has returned to Alyssium, separated from her mate after the Rite of Blood ceremony and forced to face the consequences of binding with Wilder. Hope runs thin as the realm crumbles, magic falters, and her home slowly succumbs to death and decay.

She failed her people once, but to find Wilder and heal her realm Elorie is determined to try again. Even if it means venturing to the depths of the Fae prison where it all began. A place of nightmares and torment. An endless maze that hides her mother and the truth to unlocking her magic.

But deep in the darkness, secrets wait.

In the past, lies linger.

And in Elorie’s blood, an unsettling truth stirs.

Fate has a way of fixing that which is broken. But what if the break began with her?

The Reaping Rose is a scorching, epic-stakes fantasy romance, and the second installment in the Realm of Beating Hearts series! Perfect for fans of Callie Hart and Sarah J. Maas.
