The Snows of Nissa (Forgotten Kingdom Book 1) (Forgotten Kingdom Chronicles) by Isabella Khalidi

“The Snows of Nissa is the first book in a new fantasy series that is part Game of Thrones, part A Court of Thorns and Roses.” - Megan Weiss for Reedsy.com An exiled god hiding his identity. A mortal warrior with a prophecy. And a dangerous temptation that will change everything. After a fire that leaves her home in ashes, Duna Damaris has no choice but to join the military, working her way up the ranks and becoming one of the deadliest warriors that the Kingdom has ever seen. She’s fierce, resilient, and with her heart locked away, she's determined that nothing stand in her way. Not even the brooding commander with the devastatingly beautiful face and striking eyes that ignite an inferno in her blood. He is the legendary General, a lethal weapon of the mortal armies of Tyros. No one dares to challenge him, but when he comes face to face with the legion's most skilled fighter, his life is turned upside down. She's stubborn, infuriating—and very forbidden. The General is betrothed to another, the daughter of a mighty ruler and the one person that can ruin his life. If only his heart would listen to reason. When the princess of an empire disappears in the middle of the night, Duna and the General are forced together on a search mission across the land. Tensions run high, limits are tested, and lines are blurred as an ancient secret unravels right before their very eyes, one with the power to bring down entire nations and change Fate itself. Who will be the first to fall? AUTHOR'S NOTE: This book contains an intense slow-burn steamy forbidden romance, with an OTT morally gray shadow daddy, forced proximity, high heat and spice, a love triangle, alpha males and headstrong sassy women. It is the first novel in an adult epic dark fantasy romance series with gods based on Egyptian mythology the Forgotten Kingdom Chronicles and is for mature audiences only. 18+ recommended.
