Fourth Wing meets X-Men within a divided world in this slow burn, found family romantasy from breakthrough Booktok sensations Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox, as an outcast with unique powers navigates a city of prejudice and confronts her feelings for a mysterious general.

 

He was striking in a cold-blooded kind of way, like his beauty was tinged with poison. Unassuming, alluring even.

 

I brought my eyes up to meet his.

 

“Fia Riftborne?” The words dripped from his lips like blood from a dagger.

 

20 years after a rebellion branded her an outcast, Fia Riftborne navigates a city rife with prejudice so deep, it’s often deadly. But she harbors a secret, one that would paint an even larger target on her back. A hidden power within her is growing, threatening to destroy everything she’s built for herself. 

 

Enter the elusive Sidhe General, Laryk Ashford, who is building a unit of powerful wielders within the Guard to face a growing threat. Wraiths of darkness devour the Western border, leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake. 

 

When Fia’s power erupts, and two daughters of Nobility are seemingly dead, General Ashford offers her a chilling choice: join the Sidhe Guard or face execution. 

 

Because Fia might be the only hope for the Isle’s survival. 

 

Torn between surrendering to the chaos or becoming a weapon for those who took everything from her, Fia must confront her growing feelings for the General and face a dark truth that could shatter everything she’s ever known. 

 

Riftborne was written for readers that love a well-developed enemies-to-lovers arc and strong female friendships. The magic system is heavily inspired by X-Men—if it took place in the city of Silverymoon from the Forgotten Realms. Laryk Ashford is the Charles Xavier to Fia’s Dark Phoenix.
