A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory (The Rooted Realm)

Sapphira has spent a lifetime serving gods who view her people as nothing more than collateral damage. Disillusioned and desperate to escape her predestined throne, she watches as her kingdom is systematically dismantled by the divine. To survive the encroaching light, she must embrace the darkness she once feared and rise as the Queen of Monsters, a title that promises power but demands a soul-crushing price.
Caught in this high-stakes struggle is Nox, a warrior who initially fought against the ethereal bond tethering him to the reluctant queen. His resistance crumbles during a perilous descent into the Underworld, where the line between duty and desire blurs. Now, he finds himself not just leading a crumbling realm, but fighting to protect the woman who has become his greatest obsession.
This dark romance pulls readers deep into the gritty, volatile heart of the hell-realms. It is a tale of forbidden royalty and the dangerous allure of vengeance. As secrets unravel and the gods close in, Sapphira and Nox must decide if their love is a weapon powerful enough to topple the heavens or the very thing that will lead them both to ruin. Prepare for a heart-pounding journey where every choice is a fight for survival.

This book picked up right where Divine Arrows left off, and boy did it take me on a wild ride with Sapphira and Nox. I'm talking unexpected twists and turns that had me up all night, courtesy of the author's sneaky skills. The world building was so immersive that I forgot to eat, sleep, or interact with humans - it was glorious. I loved every minute of it, except for that ending that left me dying for the next book. )

This second Celestial Archers story is as intense as the first. Lots of dangers and fights, along with fiery lovemaking and, at last, both main characters tell each other. But why do some many secrets remain? )

Oh my! I absolutely LOVE the dynamic between Sapphira and Nox! The banter is incredible! She's just like, no, I'm not running the kingdom, you do it. I also love how she bosses him around and keeps him on his toes. His devotion to her is so evident in everything he does. He's very clever too. He'll bring things to her attention in a very casual way. Enticing her to step in and take the reigns. I also love how she's so protective of the children and makes it a point to spend time with them,...
