Starfallen

A riveting slow burn debut romantasy about morally grey, grief-fuelled, self-destructive, sarcastic young woman who enters deadly trials in the hopes of bringing her boyfriend back from the land of the deal, only to find herself torn between her true love and the King of the Fallen, perfect for fans of ACOTAR, Suzanne Collins, Sarah J. Maas, and Rebecca Yarros.

Officially, Cassandra competes for a wish. Secretly, she has another agenda.

But the Court is more than a stage for bloodsport. Contestants are permitted to live, work, and roam among the Fallen Fae between trials. Seeking distraction, Cass accepts a post as assistant to Kieran, the King of the Fallen.

She wants to use him for the trials,and he finds her defiance amusing.
It doesn’t take long for this mutual manipulationto turn into equal obsession.
