Kingdom of Yesterday

From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a slow burn romantasy where gods wage war, love becomes obsession, and the most dangerous word in any language is yes.

He conquered kingdoms. Now, he’s coming after her.

Cyrus Dolion has claimed his throne, dethroned gods, and fused his soul with the deity of ruin and madness. He’s building a new world—and yet, he cannot reclaim Arden Roosa. She slipped through his fingers once, and he’ll do anything to win her again.

Arden knows exactly what Cyrus wants: to use her body as a vessel for his goddess wife, her will dismantled and rebuilt in his image. She refuses. Sworn to Soal, the Source of All Light, she trains under the formidable Domino Crane, learning to wield powers she barely understands, preparing for a war she didn’t choose, and fighting the most treacherous battle of all: the one inside her own heart. Because Domino sees every scar, every fracture, every mistake—and wants her anyway.

As kingdoms collapse beneath betrayal and divine ambition, Arden finds herself torn between two impossible forces: the emperor willing to destroy the world to make her his queen… and the warrior willing to destroy himself to stand at her side.
