About The Book
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams. Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil’s visions. But when Sybil’s fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she’d rather avoid Rodrick’s dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.

“You want to throw me down. And I, prideful, disdainful, godless, want to drag you into the dirt with me.”
My Thoughts
This was a fantasy story with a touch of romance. The main female character must turn her back on everything she has believed in to find her friends, the women she once saw as sisters. This is not only an action-packed fantasy but also a story about finding yourself, discovering your own strength, and found family. The plot wasn’t too romance heavy, but | loved the frenemies-to-lovers vibe. This is 100% a slow-burn romance, which usually isn’t my thing, but I really enjoyed it. There was also one open-door spicy scene, but I personally thought was pretty tame. My only complaint is that the book felt a bit slow-paced. However, the ending was intense, and the last chapter was an emotional roller coaster.
