Solis Falling - by T A Reilly (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

They say your beliefs run deep. But corruption runs deeper.

Raelyna Kingsley has lived her life with one goal: keep her sisters-and herself-out of the temples in Solis Quarter. After the execution of her father, Raelyna finds herself questioning everything she knows to be true about Aurelia-The City of Gold. What was once a sprawling city filled with people that held a deep belief and respect for the Eternal, has been fractured into four quarters, with each turning to their own religion and resulting darkness.

But when Raelyna's sister is marked with the aetherial affinity of a seer, and is subject to a life of servitude in the temples, Raelyna strikes a bargain with Luc-her childhood best friend, the king, and the man that killed her father.

In exchange for her sister's freedom, Raelyna agrees to perform-as a dancer-whenever and where the king desires. But despite her best efforts to keep herself out of the spotlight, Raelyna finds herself in the company of the elite Shade of the Aurelian Guild. She can't deny the pull to Callum Blackwood, but his mission in Solis Quarter could jeopardize the life Raelyna has come to build for herself and her family.

As tensions begin to rise, it becomes clear there's more to the events happening in Solis, leading Raelyna to question everything she once thought to be true, leaving destruction in its wake. In an effort to save her family, and herself, Raelyna must work alongside Callum to expose the darkness and corruption before it's too late.

But will Raelyna succumb to the wreckage left after it all comes falling down? Or will she rise from the rubble and into the light?
