About this book
Oralia Solis lives a life of forced isolation, cursed by a daemoni bite that causes anyone she touches to crumble to ash. Sequested away by her adoptive father, King Typhon of Aethera, she has spent centuries fearing her own lethal power. When a catastrophic incident forces her to flee, she finds an unlikely savior in King Renwick of Infernis, the ruler of the land of the dead. Renwick recognizes her potential as a weapon, but as he keeps her prisoner, he discovers that the princess is far more than her dangerous gift. This gripping fantasy debut features a delicious enemies-to-lovers slow burn, reimagining classic mythology with a fresh, dark edge. While Renwick and Oralia are divided by the looming threat of war between their rival kingdoms, they are bound by an undeniable, magnetic pull; Renwick is the only person capable of surviving—and craving—Oralia’s deadly touch. As Oralia unravels the secrets of her true parentage and struggles to master her volatile magic, she faces a harrowing choice. With the fate of two realms hanging in the balance, she must decide who to trust and determine if she is willing to sacrifice everything for love or seize the power to change her destiny.

See all formats and editions Oralia Solis hasn't felt the touch of another in 245 years. Not without them crumbling to ash at her feet. Cursed by the bite of a daemoni, she has been sequestered away for the greater good of Aethera by her adopted father, King Typhon. King Renwick rules the rival kingdom of Infernis, the land of the dead. When Oralia flees the palace of Aethera after her power is let loose with deadly results, he recognizes her potential as a weapon and aids her escape. Oralia finds herself the prisoner of the man she has been taught to fear most, and Renwick is surprised to find there is more to this princess than her untamed powers. Despite the gulf of secrets and magic between them, Renwick can't deny the pull he feels towards her, and Oralia struggles to resist the one person who cannot only survive her touch but craves it. As Oralia uncovers the truth of her parentage and masters her magic, she will discover that the power to raze or save either Aethera or Infernis lies in her hands. War between the two kingdoms looms, and she must decide who she can trust and which she wants more: power or love. Ruin is a true slow-burning romance, with enemies-to-lovers, nods to multiple mythological stories reimagined into new lore, and LGBTQIA+ representation (supporting characters). ) ©2024 Gillian Eliza West (P)2025 Podium Audio Previous slide of product details 1.
