SHE LIVES BY HER INTUITION. HE FEEDS ON HER PLEASURE.

From Jennifer L. Armentrout, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash, comes the beginning of a searing fantasy romance for adults, Fall of Ruin and Wrath.

Long ago, the world was destroyed by gods. Only nine cities were spared. Separated by vast wilderness teeming with monsters and unimaginable dangers, each city is now ruled by a guardian—royalty who feed on mortal pleasure.

Born with an intuition that never fails, Calista knows her talents are of great value to the power-hungry of the world, so she lives hidden as a courtesan of the Baron of Archwood. In exchange for his protection, she grants him information.

When her intuition leads her to save a traveling prince in dire trouble, the voice inside her blazes with warning—and promise. Today he’ll bring her joy. One day he'll be her doom.

When the Baron takes an interest in the traveling prince and the prince takes an interest in Calista, she becomes the prince’s temporary companion. But the city simmers with rebellion, and with knights and monsters at her city gates and a hungry prince in her bed, intuition may not be enough to keep her safe.

Calista must choose: follow her intuition to safety or follow her heart to her downfall.

Breathtaking suspense and scorching romance meet in this immersive new fantasy from a mega-bestselling force, Jennifer L. Armentrout.

What the critics say

"Soneela Nankani narrates Calista and Thorne's story, as told from Calista's point of view. Nankani captures the couple's developing relationship and imbues her performance with Calista's growing fear of her visions.... Secondary characters, such as the baron and his cousin, are consistently recognizable. Smooth transitions and appropriate pacing further showcase Nankani's talents. Listeners, especially fans of the author's other works, will be entertained." (AudioFile)

"Best book of the year! A masterpiece from the queen of romantasy!"—Laura Thalassa, bestselling author of the Four Horsemen series

A new type of monster

I really enjoyed the work building of this book. The way JLA created these supernatural beings was unique and different from a lot of other books in have read of late. as for the performance for this title. I really didn't vibe with the narrator. The cadence of her voice didn't do the book or the FML justice. While the male characters were done well, I couldn't get past how she read the book.

The character development was excellent!

I'm so disappointed that I started this without realizing the next book hasn't even been started.
I loved the Blood&Ash series but the last two books were such BLAH page fillers (not real storylines), so I didn't have hugely high hopes for this.
I'm very happy to acknowledge how incorrect I was. Please release Vol II!!

Enjoyable Read.

I very much enjoyed the narrator’s performance. The story was enjoyable, I totally crushed through this book and I did fall in love with the characters. Fairly typical of JLA’s work, if you enjoyed her other works you’ll enjoy this too. I really appreciated the editing, and lack of rambling monologues that overtook some of her other recent series.

😮‍💨🤤🫠

What can I say, JLA does it again. I’m not sure how 1 person can keep coming up with this many worlds and 🥵🌶️ stories. If you’re a fan of FBAA and ACOTAR you’ll love this book, it’s like they had a sweet sweet, magical baby. I just want more.
