Divine RivalsSpice level, tropes & is it dark romance?
by Rebecca Ross
Spice 1/5 (Embers) · Darkness 2/5 (Grey) · 4 trigger warnings flagged · Standalone
Low spice, not dark romance. Good for readers who want romantasy without the heat.
Iris Winnow and Roman Kitt are rival journalists. Iris types letters to her brother at the front. Roman is the one who answers. Behind it all, the gods are at war. Book one of a duology. Very low spice. This note is ours. It is not a publisher blurb.
First published: Wednesday Books / Magpie, April 2023. Standalone.
