Awakening

Fall of Ruin and Wrath (Awakening #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

In a world where gods, power, and forbidden desires collide, the Awakening series ushers readers into an intricately crafted universe where every choice comes with a cost, and no one can be trusted—especially not themselves.

At the heart of the story is Calista, a woman with a gift for reading people and secrets, serving a life steeped in peril as a courtesan to a powerful baron. But when fate throws her into the path of Thorne—a prince wrapped in mystery and dangerous allure—the lines between duty and rebellion, loyalty and betrayal, begin to blur. Their connection is magnetic, pulling them into a world of ancient legends, gods who walk among mortals, and a romance that could either save or destroy everything they hold dear.

The Awakening series weaves together dark, atmospheric world-building with vivid character arcs that will have readers questioning who they can trust until the very last page. The tension between Thorne and Calista builds in unexpected ways, drawing readers deeper into a landscape where the stakes are high, and survival isn't guaranteed.
