Riftborne
Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games crossed with X-Men in this slow burn, found family romantasy from breakthrough Booktok sensations Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox, as a woman 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 Xavior to Fia’s Dark Phoenix.
Duskbound
Praise for The Esprithean Trilogy
“Fans of ACOTAR will gobble up Riftborne. It’s got enemies-to-lovers, detailed world building, morally gray love interests, slow burn spice that’s worth the torture, an underdog female lead like Yarros’ Violet and a rad power-system loosely inspired by the X-Men.” —Buzzfeed
“A hidden gem that's fit for ACOTAR fans…[the] chemistry is tense and full of enemies-to-reluctant-allies energy. Riftborne is a slow burn that's worth every page.” —Brit & Co
“The Esprithean Trilogy has everything I love in Romantasy: immersive world building, complex characters, and a forbidden, enemies to lovers romance! I couldn't help but root for Fia and her quest to uncover the truth. And the romance? Slow, and steady, until it absolutely BURNS.” —Demi Winters, bestselling author of The Road of Bones
“Broadbent, Maas, and Yarros fans, you’ve been warned. Riftborne is your next addictive series. A slow burn truly at a truly wrought out delicious pace that will leave you squirming for what’s next. And worldbuilding that rivals Broadbent’s in its design and intrigue. Excellent, just excellent. I cannot wait to find out what happens next.” —Emily Bond, HuffPost Books and Buzzfeed
The Ascended
The high-stakes trials of Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night meet the forbidden romance of Keri Lake's Nocticadia in the first of the Aesymarean Duet, as twins thrust into a brutal tournament for godhood must navigate forbidden desires and their own drive for revenge.
In a world where divine power bleeds into the mortal realm, Thais Morvaren has mastered the art of deception. To her seaside village, she's just a fisherman's daughter, serving oysters to summer tourists. In secret, she hides her ability to forge weapons from starlight-a power that would force her into the deadly Trials of Ascension.
But when a priest's ritual exposes her divine heritage, Thais is seized and conscripted into the trials against her will. Now trapped in a competition she never wanted to enter, she transforms her fear into purpose: to kill Olinthar, King of the Gods-the father whose divine touch proved fatal to her mother.
To take down a god, she must become one, even if it costs her everything.What she doesn't expect is her twin brother's powers suddenly manifesting, forcing him into the trials alongside her-leaving Thais to protect more than just herself.
Worse still, the selection ceremony binds her to a mentor: Xül. A necromancer prince with blood-soaked hands, a sharp tongue, and dark secrets of his own. From the moment they meet, sparks fly. He's insufferably arrogant, she's stubborn to the bone, and neither has any intention of yielding to the other... or to the heat between them.
Each trial survived brings her closer to godhood, but beneath the spectacle of competition, something ancient and malevolent stalks the shadows of the divine realm-a darkness that threatens to unravel the heavens themselves.Thais may have been forced into the Trials seeking survival, but she'll finish them seeking vengeance.
And the cost of godhood is rising.Because some stars aren't meant to be weapons.
Some stars are meant to fall.
About the Authors
Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox are two platonic soulmates who have been nearly inseparable since meeting at 19. Their shared love of fantasy, badass heroines, and steamy romances fueled their dream of co-authoring a novel, which they've finally achieved with their debut, Riftborne. When they're not conjuring worlds filled with female empowerment and swoon-worthy relationships, they’re binge-watching reality TV or obsessing over the last Dungeons and Dragons session.
Bree enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, who she claims is indeed a man written by a woman. A true Pisces, Bree finds solace in weekends by the sea or lake, engrossed in a book with music drowning out the world. She also holds a fascination with the paranormal and all things witchy, a love that undeniably creeps into her writing.
Parker, on the other hand, splits her time between the Southern US and the beautiful wine-country of Bordeaux, France, where she visits her boyfriend (living proof that romance novels can mirror reality!). An artist at heart, Parker expresses her creativity through graphic design, photography, and delectable culinary adventures, always with a sourdough starter bubbling away in the background.
Together, they weave addictive Romantasy novels for the New Adult audience.
