Furyborn (The Empirium Trilogy #1) by Claire Legrand
A pair of headstrong, impulsive protagonists; high-stakes intrigues; ancient prophecies; mysterious supernatural villains; steamy romance…this one’s for fans of the gritty, high fantasy style of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo. The 500-ish pages flew by for me, I was so caught up in the interesting characters, intriguing plot, and fascinating world building. The sequel, Kingsbane, is out May 21st, 2019! - Stephanie
