Title: Never Keep

Series: Sins of the Zodiac #1

Author: Caroline Peckham

The dragons are lost.
The elements are at war. Enlisting isn’t optional.
And I’m falling for a man who wants me dead.

I’m a wielder of hearts and summoner of corruption. Heir to nothing and born to a fool in the wrong damn month.

But I’m also one of only two Fae in this divided land of hellions who might be starting to see through the lies we’ve swallowed for so long.

In the year we turn twenty-one, conscripts from across the warring nations of air, fire, earth and water are sent to Never Keep – the only place in our besieged continent where our magic can be Awakened.

But something is wrong inside Never Keep. Something which might extend far beyond the reaches of this desolate fortress. Within the gothic walls of this frigid castle in the snow, we’re left to hold our own against the brutal Fae from the opposing lands.

The Reapers are merciless. The Royals are lying. The Werewolves run rampant and Vampires roam the wastelands in bloodthirsty covens. But even though death lurks in every shadow of the Keep, it’s the least of my worries.

I’m delving into secrets the stars don’t want me uncovering, making alliances with Fae born to be my enemy, falling for a sinner while promising my heart to a different heathen and somewhere amid it all, I’m supposed to win a war.

I thought the only thing I had to do was survive my magical instruction.

Turns out, fate doesn’t favour the wicked.

Back in the same world as Zodiac Academy and Reckless Boys…..but a different land and school!

~ Vesper aka The Sky Witch
~ Everest, Raincarver
~ Cayde, Drake
~ Harlon, Raincarver and Everest’s bestie
~ Kaiser, Fury and all round evil bad a…..

Of course Kaiser was my fave!

Vesper and Everest are both outcasts but oh so different, and they are strong, determined ladies, it’s no wonder they find themselves drawn together.

I really don’t want to say more but if you loved ZA then you will love this darker feeling romantasy!

This was a slow starter but I guess we needed to get to know the new world, the characters and the different places in The Waning Lands.

But my gosh, after that halfway mark, I was so hooked, so much tension!

I actually can’t believe I have to wait until April 2025 now after that ending!
