She’s exhausted from fighting the endless wars of kings and queens, and has long accepted that her death is near. Alone at last but for a few uninvited companions – a near-mythical wolf, a goddess’s avatar and a feline that embodies magic itself – Oneira realizes that she’s bored. On a whim, or perhaps at the behest of fate, she makes an unlikely trip to the most extensive library in existence: the home of her most powerful rival, the sorcerer Stearanos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen she recklessly steals a book from him, Oneira inadvertently initiates a forbidden correspondence. Taunting notes and clever retorts reveal a connection neither has found – nor could ever find – in any other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Oneira soon learns that Stearanos, bound to a vile king, is tasked with waging war on the queen she once served. A relationship with him is far too dangerous to pursue despite their mutual desire – and yet, Oneira can’t seem to stay away. A bond with Stearanos could alight the long-extinct flame of life within her . or it could destroy her entirely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReaders love \u003ci\u003eNever the Roses\u003c\/i\u003e .\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Easily one of my top reads of the year'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'For fans of slow burn and major yearning'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'I was not prepared for this book to shatter my heart in a million pieces'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Both cosy and full of depth.
