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.

Also known as A Tribute of Fire Book 2.

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.

But it wasn’t until Roommaid—a rom-com that took Amazon by storm in 2020—that Wilson’s writing reached a massive audience. The story of a neat-freak Texan and her reluctant roommate hit a nerve, topping charts and drawing in readers with its balance of humor and heart. Since then, she’s released a string of fan-favorite novels like The Paid Bridesmaid, The Chemistry of Love, and The Seat Filler, each one delivering clever banter, relatable heroines, and romances that unfold with both realism and hope.

Her recent pivot into romantasy with A Tribute of Fire marks a bold expansion of her storytelling range. With its blend of ancient myth, perilous quests, and slow-burn passion, the new series (The Eye of the Goddess) retains Wilson’s signature emotional honesty while immersing readers in a world of high stakes and mythical power. The follow-up, A Vow of Embers, is slated for release in 2025, and fans are already buzzing with anticipation.

Despite her success, Wilson remains refreshingly grounded. She’s an author who loves what she writes—and it shows. Whether set in a modern city or a fantasy realm, her stories revolve around people who fumble, fall, and ultimately find their way toward connection. It’s that unfiltered emotional core—delivered with humor, heart, and just the right amount of swoon—that keeps readers coming back.

You’ll find her books on bestseller lists, sure. But more importantly, you’ll find them on nightstands, tucked in carry-on bags, and recommended between friends with a knowing smile: “You have to read this.”

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.

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.
