Smoke and Scar by Gretchen Powell Fox

Smoke and Scar by Gretchen Powell Fox

The first book in the epic Shattered Crown romantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and The Serpent & the Wings of Night.

For centuries, humans and the magical races of Arcanis have been bitter enemies. Their only hope for reconciliation lies in the Arcane Crucible; a brutal series of trials that demands sacrifice for peace.

After losing the love of her life to the deadly trials, Elyria Lightbreaker is no longer the strong fae warrior she once was. But, when the sister of her lost love enters the same trials that claimed his life, Elyria must step up to protect her from meeting the same fate.

Desperate for vengeance, Cedric Thorne is also determined to win the trials. For his family, for his future and for humanity.

Hardened by loss and fuelled by hate, Cedric and Elyria must find a way to work together to conquer the trials, and navigate their increasingly complex feelings for each other.

• Slow-burn romance
• Enemies to lovers
• Elemental magic
• He falls first
• Sharing a tent
• Found family

Gretchen Powell Fox grew up with her head in the clouds and her nose buried in books. Now, she crafts fantastical stories, along with the fiery heroes destined to change them for the better. Her creative process involves sleeping fitfully and consuming copious amounts of Sour Patch Kids. You can usually find her crying when she’s happy, sad, mad, or excited; singing along to Taylor Swift; eating xiao long bao; or strumming her ukelele. Gretchen lives in northern Virginia with her husband and two wild, wonderful children. Visit her online at GretchenPowellFox.com and follow her @GretchenWritesBooks.
