From Little Stack
In Reign and Ruin, it’s not the characters who are enemies so much as their kingdoms. It’s expected that they will end up at war, but watching the two of them try to work together to navigate the complexity of politics and strategy while slowly falling in love is an absolute delight.
The Arabian-inspired setting is colorful and enchanting. Plus, in addition to the enemies to lovers trope, the whole series plays up the “opposites attract” flavor to perfection.
All magic is beautiful...and terrible. Do you not see the beauty in yours, or the terror in mine? You can stop a heart, and I can stop your breath.
She is heir to a Sultanate that once ruled the world. He is an unwanted prince with the power to destroy. She is order and intellect, a woman fit to rule in a man's place. He is chaos and violence and will stop at nothing to protect his people.
His magic answers hers with shadow for light. They need each other, but the cost of balance may be too high a price. Magic is dying and the only way to save it is to enlist mages who wield the forbidden power of death, mages cast out centuries ago in a brutal and bloody war.
Now, a new war is coming. Science and machines to replace magic and old religion. They must find a way to save their people from annihilation and balance the sacred Wheel—but first, they will have to balance their own forbidden passion. His peace for her tempest, his restlessness for her calm…Night and day, dusk and dawn, the end, and the beginning.
with J.D. Evans “ I think living in many places influenced my writing in that I love finding out about new places, cultures, and people. ”
