Wild Reverence
Set in the world of the gods first introduced in Divine Rivals, #1 New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Ross delivers a sweeping, beautiful adult novel filled with tension, romance, and dark secrets.
True love is more divine, than any ruthless god.
Born in the firelit domain of the under realm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods often kill each other to steal power and alliances break as quickly as they are forged, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry words and letters through the realms, but she holds a secret she must hide from even her dearest of allies to ensure her survival. And to complicate matters . . . there is a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met in the waking world.
Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life―begging the goddess he befriended in dreams to help him. When his request went unanswered, Vincent moved on, becoming the hardened, irreverent lord of the river who has long forgotten Matilda. That is, until she comes tumbling into his bedroom window with a letter for him.
As Fate would have it, Matilda and Vincent were destined to find each other beyond dreams. There may be a chance for Matilda to rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, but at immense sacrifice. She will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: to be vulnerable, and to allow herself to finally be loved.

There’s a rare kind of magic in Rebecca Ross’s writing — the kind that feels like an old song you somehow remember, even if you’ve never heard it before. With novels like Divine Rivals, A River Enchanted, and The Queen’s Rising, Ross has become one of fantasy’s most beloved voices, weaving lush worlds where heartbreak and hope walk hand in hand.
Born and raised just outside Atlanta, Georgia, Rebecca Ross grew up surrounded by the rolling hills and dense forests that would later echo through her fiction. Early on, she fell in love with the timeless pull of folklore and the quiet power of lyrical prose — influences that pulse through every story she tells. Before stepping fully into her life as an author, Ross wore many hats: ranch hand, school librarian, live-time captionist — each chapter adding texture to the thoughtful, layered characters she creates today.
