Divine Rivals
As a Bookshop affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
The gods have awakened, and war is spreading across the world once again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow has more immediate battles to fight. Her mother is struggling with addiction, her brother has disappeared from the front lines, and Iris is desperate to keep what remains of her family from falling apart.
Her best hope is to earn a columnist position at the Oath Gazette — even if that means competing against Roman Kitt, her polished, infuriating, and devastatingly talented rival.
To cope with her fear and loneliness, Iris writes letters to her missing brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door. But the letters do not vanish into nowhere. They somehow find their way to Roman, who begins writing back anonymously. Through their secret correspondence, Iris and Roman form a connection neither of them expected — one built on honesty, grief, hope, and words they could never say aloud.
As the war draws closer and Iris is pulled toward the front lines, their bond will be tested by danger, heartbreak, and the fate of a world caught between gods.
Perfect for readers who love rivals-to-lovers romance, magical letters, wartime fantasy, emotional storytelling, lyrical writing, and love stories that ache in the best way.
