This book is about to be your next romantasy obsession. Leina has spent a lifetime submitting, starving among wheat fields reserved for the king, standing by while his men crush her loved ones. When soldiers come for her brother, her divine fury erupts in a bloody massacre. She expects to be executed for her crimes, but instead a gift from a goddess drags Leina into a realm of war, where her survival depends on her ability to ride a winged horse and master a power she never asked for. Throw in a gods-blessed warrior by the name of Ryot who is assigned to help her master the divine power gifted to her, and you have the recipe for a perfect romantasy.
